Kingdom Anamalia

Anamalia

TermDefinition
Kingdom Animalia Characteristics *Heterotrophic *Eukaryotic *Move for reproduction, obtaining food, defense *No cell wall *Most form a blastula, a hollow ball of cells
3 tissue layers Ectoderm: Outer skin, nervous, sensory Endoderm: Digestive and respiratory structures Mesoderm:Skeleton, muscles, circulatory, reproductive
Asymmetrical irregular in shape example: sponge
Radial symmetry body parts arranged around a central axis example: Coral, jellyfish
Bilateral symmetry distinct left and right halves example: Butterfly
Body cavity type: Acoelamate No body cavity example: flatworm
Body cavity type: Pseudocoelomate: body cavity between mesoderm and endoderm body cavity between mesoderm and endoderm example: roundworm
Body cavity type: Coelomate: fluid filled space between body wall and digestive tract, protects organs during movement fluid filled space between body wall and digestive tract, protects organs during movement example: earthworm, human
Animal Body Systems: Digestion *Sponges digest intracellularly while all other animals digest extracellularly *Hydra has a gut with one opening, while more advanced animals have 2
Animal Body Systems: Respiration *Simple animals (sponges) use diffusion *Some aquatic and terrestrial animals use gills (must stay moist) *Other organs, such as lungs, have evolved
Which are more efficient: gills or lungs? Gills are more efficient at getting oxygen from water.
Animal Body Systems: Circulation *Simple animals use diffusion *Two types of circulatory systems are: 1.Open circulatory system: fluid leaves the circulatory vessels. Example: clam 2.Closed circulatory system: blood remains in the circulatory vessels. Example: earthworm
Animal Body Systems: Conduction of Nerve Impulses *Nerve cells (neurons) are specialized for carrying electrical impulses *Found in all animals except sponges *Simplest arrangement is a nerve net (hydra) *A nerve cord and brain with sensory structures such as eyes are more advanced
Animal Body Systems: Support *The skeleton supports the body and allows for movement *Muscles contract against the framework of the skeleton
Hydrostatic skeleton *fluid under pressure in a closed cavity *Seen in soft-bodied invertebrates such as the hydra and jellyfish
Exoskeleton Rigid, external skeleton found in arthropods, bivalves *Muscles are attached to inside of skeleton, which protects organs
Endoskeleton Embedded inside an animal, such as the bones within a mammal
Excretion Removal of wastes produce by cellular metabolism *One toxic waste is ammonia *Some animals excrete waste through skin or gills *Others use kidneys or other structures designed to minimize water loss
Reproductive Strategies 1.Asexual Reproduction – does not involve the fusion of 2 gametes 2.Sexual reproduction *Some animals, called hermaphrodites,have both testes and ovaries. Examples: slugs, earthworms, some fish *External fertilization: aquatic animals release sperm an
Invertebrates: more than 95% of all animal species This is true
Polyp Example: Hydra
Medusa example: Moon jellyfish
Cephalopods Many have an ink sac and are capable of expelling ink to confuse predato
Insect Life Cycle Complete metamorphosis egg ->larva->pupae-> adult

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
