TermDefinition
Asexual Reproduction A form of reproduction that does not involve meiosis, ploidy reduction or fertilization, and the offspring is a clone of the parent organism;because of no exchange of genetic material.
Cell The structural, functional and biological unit of all organisms.
Cephalation The concentration of sense organs, nervous control, etc., at the anterior end of the body, forming a head and brain, both during evolution and in the course of an embryo's development.
Closed Circulatory system A system of internal transport in which the blood is confined to vessels.
Coelom A fluid-filled body cavity formed from the splitting of lateral plate mesoderm during embryonic development
Colonial A cluster of identical cells (clones) on the surface of (or within) a solid medium, usually derived from a single parent cell, as in bacterial colony.
Fluid feeding Organisms that feed on the fluids of other organisms
Endoskeleton The internal skeleton; bony structure (especially of vertebrates).A skeletal structure internal to an organism, such as the human body's skeleton.
excretion The process, act or function of discharging or ejecting waste product of metabolism, especially from the system of an organism.
exoskeleton A rigid external covering for the body in some invertebrate animals, especially arthropods, providing both support and protection.
Filter Feeding Feeding by filtering out plankton or nutrients suspended in the water.
Free-living An independent organism that isn't parasitic
internal transport Transports blood internally through a organism
Invertebrates No backbone; having no vertebrate
levels of organization Biosphere,Ecosystem,Community,Population,Organism, Groups of Cells, Cells, Molecules
life functions Functions which play a vital role in the organisms survivial, an adaptation
medusa The freely-swimming, umbrella- or disk-shaped gelatinous form of Cnidarians.
Motility The ability of an animal to move food through its digestive tract; peristaltic movement.
Motility/Motile Ability to move a will
Multicelluar Having or consisting of many cells or more than one cell to perform all vital functions.
Niche The specific area where an organism inhabits.
Open Circulatory system Blood flows freely through the organism
Organ A group of tissues that perform a specific function or group of functions.
Organ system A group of organs that work together to carry out a particular task.
Parasite/parasitic A form of symbiosis in which one organism (called parasite) benefits at the expense of another organism usually of different species (called host). The association may also lead to the injury of the host.
Polyp The hollow, columnar, sessile form of Cnidarians (as opposed to the medusa form)
reproduction The production of offspring by either sexual or asexual reproduction.
Respiration Any of the various analogous processes by which there is an exchange of gases.
Response An action or movement caused by an outside interaction
Sessile Of, pertaining to, or relating to the state of inability to move actively.
Sexual Reproduction A mode of reproduction involving the fusion of female gamete and male gamete, which forms a zygote that potentially develops into genetically distinct offspring.
Symmetry Correspondence of parts (in terms of form, size, distribution, or arrangement) on opposite sides of a dividing plane or on sides around an axis.
Tissue An aggregate of cells in an organism that have similar structure and function.
Vertebral Column The series of vertebrae that extend from the brain to the tailbone, providing support and forming a flexible bony case for the spinal cord.
