| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| List characteristics of a sea star. | 5 armed, tube feet used for feeding and movement. |
| List characteristics of a brittle star. | 5 armed, arms break off easily and can be regenerated, tube feet have no suction cups. |
| List characteristics of sea urchins and sand dollars. | Body encased in a test with spines, sea urchins burrow in rocky areas, sand dollars burrow in sand. |
| List characteristics of sea lilies and feather stars. | Sessile for some part of life, sea lilies have long stalks, feather stars have long branching arms. |
| List characteristics of sea cucumbers. | Cucumber shape, leathery outer body, tube feet modified to tentacles near mouth. |
| List characteristics of sea daisies. | Less than 1 cm in diameter, no arms, tube feet located around central disk. |
| What is the phylum name for echinoderms, give 2 examples of animals that belong to this kingdom. | Echinodermata; sea urchins and sand dollars. |
| What is the endoskeleton in an echinoderm made of? What is it covered with? | Calcium carbonate plates; thin layer of skin. |
| What type of symmetry do echinoderms have during their life cycle? | Bilateral symmetry (when in larval stage) and radial symmetry (when adults). |
| Name 3 functions of tube feet found in some echinoderms. | 1. Movement 2. Food collection 3. Respiration |
| What unique act do some echinoderms perform when feeding? | They push their stomach out of their mouth to consume their food. |
| How do most echinoderms carry out respiration, circulation, and excretion? | Diffusion through the thin body membranes of the tube feet. |
| Saying "invertebrate chordate" is an oxymoron. Why? | A chordate is an animal that (most likely) contains a backbone, such as humans, but an invertebrate is an animal with no backbone. |
| What are four distinguishing features of an invertebrate chordate? | 1. Dorsal tubular nerve cord 2. Notochord 3. Pharyngeal pouches 4. Postanal tail |
| Compare and contrast a lancet and a tunicate. | Lancets burrow into sand, are filterfeeders, do not move a lot, nervous system of branching nerves & a simple brain. Tunicates are sessile, only show chordate features in larval stages, trap food in a mucous net and move into stomach, heart/blood vessels |
