| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Which of the following will not kill bacteria? | refridgeration |
| A type of worm that is an external parasite | leech |
| Which of the following best describes the feeding habits of sponges | filter feeders |
| What does molting enable arthropods to do | grow |
| The body of an annelid has | segments |
| Tangled mass that makes of the body of a fungus is the | mycelium |
| Funguslike protists get nutrients by | absorbing them from dead or decaying matter |
| An arthropod is vulnerable to predators during the molting period because | its new exoskeleton is soft |
| An important role of fungi in an organism | breaking down dead organisms |
| The skeleton of an echinoderm is an | endoskeleton made of calcium carbonate |
| Unlike photoautotrophs, chemoautotrophs obtain energy | directly from inorganic molecules |
| Fungi feed on | both living and dead organisms |
| Spiders feed by | sucking up prey tissue that has been liquefied by enzymes |
| Which two functions do nematocysts perform | defense and capturing prey |
| Coral bleaching is a serious ecological threat because | it causes corals to die |
| What are the simplest animals to have body symmetry | cnidarians |
| Fungi do NOT | carry on photosynthesis |
| Which is the first organism shown on the cladogram in Figure 26–3 to have a characteristic common to all animals? What is the characteristic? | Sponge; multicellularity |
| Examine Figure 26–3. Are the organisms listed on the cladogram mostly vertebrates or invertebrates? Explain. | Invertebrates; most organisms on this cladogram do not have backbones |
| A pond snail is an example of an | gastropod |
| Earthworms benefit gardeners because their tunnels provide passageways for | plant roots and water |
| Arthropods are classified based on the number and structure of their | body segments and appendages |
| Insects are classified as | uniramians |
| Look at Figure 29–5. Which group(s) of invertebrates do NOT have tissues? | Sponges + single celled ancestor |
| The feeding type(s) that occur within the phylum Mollusca include | all of the above |
| In an echinoderm, the structure that operates like a living suction cup is the | tube foot |
| Which of the following is(are) used to identify prokaryotes? | all of the above |
| Fungi resemble plants in that they both always | have cell walls |
| Many flatworms can detect changes in the amount of light in their environment using groups of cells called | eyespots |
| The most active mollusks are | cephalopods |
| Which of the following is not a reason for the evolutionary success of insects | Insects as a group are not very diverse because there are relatively few species. |
| According to Figure 26–3, which phyla are more closely related, echinoderms and mollusks or echinoderms and cnidarians? Explain. | Echinoderms and mollusks are more closely related than echinoderms and cnidarians because they have more shared characteristics. |
| All fungi | absorb their food |
| Dark fuzz that grows on bread is an example of | mold |
| The body of an insect is divided into | head, thorax, abdomen |
| Most prokaryotes are | heterotrophs |
| Food stored in a refrigerator will keep longer because the bacteria that spoil food | take longer to multiply at low temperatures |
| Butterfly sugar question | Have chemical receptors for taste on their legs |
| Organisms that spend their entire adult life attached to one spot are said to be | Sessile |
| Bacteria that cause disease are called | Pathogens |
| An animal is each of the following except | Autotrophic |
| Easiest way to tell whether an arthropod is an insect or a spider | Count itâs legs |
| Use Figure 29â5 to determine to which group of invertebrates annelids are most closely related. | Annelids are most closely related to mollusks because they share more common characteristics than any other group of invertebrates in Figure 29-5. |
| What is antibiotic resistance, and how does it develop? What human actions encourage the development of antibiotic resistance, and what can we do to prevent the problem from escalating? | -lessening effectiveness of antibiotics as higher immunity to antibiotics develops -human actions like self-medicating, not finishing prescriptions, and not following doctorâs instructions contribute -donât do those things ^ |
| Viral diseases can be | Prevented with vaccines but not treated with antibiotics |
| Many small aquatic organisms move oxygen and carbon dioxide through their skin by the process of | Diffusion |
| An example of a chelicerate | Spider |
| Some sponges are green because | They have photosynthetic organisms in their tissues |
| Cnidarians have two basic body types, a medusa and a | Polyp |
| Outer protein coat of a virus is called | Capsid |
| A way that bacteria cause disease | Releasing toxins |
| All viruses are made of proteins and | Nucleus acids |
| Humans use bacteria to | All of the above |
| Figure 29â5 shows one theory about the evolutionary relationships among groups of living invertebrates and chordates. Which feature evolved twice during the course of invertebrate evolution? | Radial symmetry |
| Which is the first organism shown in the cladogram in Figure 26â3 to have bilateral symmetry? How do you know? | The first organism to have bilateral symmetry is flatworms because bilateral symmetry is right before flatworms on the cladogram in Figure 16-3. |
| Viruses | Vary greatly in size and structure |
| Which of the two types of development shown in Figure 29â5 do mollusks undergo? | Protostome development |
| The human disease ringworm is caused by | A fungus |
| What is the basic structure of a virus | DNA or RNA surrounded by a protein coat |
| A protist is any organism that is not a plant, an animal, a fungus, or a(an) | Prokaryote |
| In the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, extensive areas of coral have been destroyed by the crown of thorns, which is a type of | Sea star |
| Bacteria are sometimes called natureâs recyclers because | They break down nutrients in dead matter |
| A mushroom is a fungal | Fruiting body |
| Which of the following is a characteristic of bacteria that is key to keeping them under control? | Most bacteria cannot survive high temperatures for long periods |
| A pseudocolom forms between the mesoderm and the | Endoderm |
| Which of the following habitats do Arthropods occupy | All of the above |
| Which appendages are especially important in the classification of arthropods? | Mouthparts |
| Unlike plant cells, animal cells do not have | cell walls |
| Aquatic animals that strain floating plants and animals from the water they take in are | Filter feeders |
| Which statement about lichens is correct | They are composed of an alga or a cyanobacterium and a fungus living together. |
| The instructions for making new copies of a virus | coded in either RNA or DNA. |
| Why are algae considered one of the most important groups of organisms on our planet? | They produce much of Earthâs oxygen through photosynthesis. |
