Question 11

What are organisms that do not have a spinal column called?

Accepted Answer

Organisms without a spinal column are called invertebrates

Question 12

What are organisms that do have a spinal column called?

Accepted Answer

Organisms that have a spinal columns are called vertebrates.

Question 13

True or False? All animals have an extracellular matrix, are multicellular, and have cell walls.

Accepted Answer

False. All animals do have a extra-cellular matrix and are multicellular, but no animals have cell walls.

Question 14

Is an organism that stores its excess energy as glycogen possibly an animal? Why or why not?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the organism is possibly an animal because all animals store excess energy as glycogen.

Question 15

What is the defining feature of Porifera?

Accepted Answer

The defining feature of Porifera (sponges) is that their bodies are filled with pores (holes).

Question 16

What is a nematocyst, and what organisms have them?

Accepted Answer

A nematocyst is a specialized organelle found within a stinging cell, called a cnidocyte Nematocysts are found only in organisms classified into the phylum Cnidaria.

Question 17

True or False? Animals that are polyps are usually mobile.

Accepted Answer

False. Animals that are polyps are usually sessile.

Question 18

What is a planarian?

Accepted Answer

A planarian is a type of free-living flatworm in the class Turbellaria, in the phylum Platyhelminthes.

Question 19

Name the feature of the tapeworms that make them effective intestinal parasites.

Accepted Answer

Their specialized head, called the scolex makes tapeworms effective intestinal parasites.

Question 20

What is the defining feature of an annelid?

Accepted Answer

The defining feature of an annelid is the multiple, easily visible body segments.

Question 21

True or False? Like humans, earthworms have a closed circulatory system.

Accepted Answer

True.

Question 22

True or False? A trilobite is an extinct species of arthropoda.

Accepted Answer

True.

Question 23

What are two of the main features of arthropods?

Accepted Answer

The rigid exoskeleton made of chitin and the jointed appendages.

Question 24

What are Malpighian tubules?

Accepted Answer

Malpighian tubules are special arthropod structures that remove wastes from their bodies.

Question 25

Describe the process of complete metamorphosis of a butterfly starting with the larval stage.

Accepted Answer

During the larval stage, the larva (called a caterpillar) undergoes several moltings (or shedding of the exoskeleton as the larva grows). At the last molting, it takes on the form of a pupa.

Question 26

Describe the process of complete metamorphosis of a butterfly starting with the larval stage. Part 2.

Accepted Answer

The pupa then makes a chrysalis, which encloses and protects the the pupa. The final metamorphosis occurs within the chrysalis in which the pupa is transformed into a butterfly.

Question 27

True or False? A nymph is an immature form of a butterfly.

Accepted Answer

False. A nymph is an immature form of an arthropod which undergoes incomplete metamorphosis. Since butterflies. undergo complete metamorphosis, nymph would be the improper word for an immature butterfly.

Question 28

What are ossicles of echinoderms?

Accepted Answer

Ossicles are the plates that make up an echinoderm's endoskeleton.
