Animal Systems I

QuestionAnswer
Some annelids are detritivores. Their main source of food comes from... decaying dead plan and animal remains
cattle depend on microorganisms in their digestive tract to digest the cellulose in their diets. The cattle and the microorganisms are mutualistic symbiotes
what are the two products of cellular respiration? water and carbon dioxide
intracellular digestion occurs when food is digested inside specialized cells
a gastrovascular cavity is the body space in some invertebrates where digestive and circulatory functions occur
an animal that relies on a digestive tract for digestion breaks down food by extracellular digestion only
carnivores have teeth that are designed to slice and tear
which group of animals has the largest surface area in the lungs mammals
look at the teeth in figure 27-1. the teeth in this skull are best suited for grinding leaves
termites are insects that consume wood. based on a termite's diet, which of the following statements would you expect to be true about its digestive system the termite has a symbiotic relationship with cellulose-digesting microorganisms in its digestive tract
gasses diffuse most efficiently across a thin, moist selectively permeable membrane
which of the following statements is true about gas diffusion across respiratory membranes gasses diffuse from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration
oxygen and carbon dioxide move across respiratory membranes by simple diffusion
oxygen constantly diffuses from air or water into an animal's bloodstream. For this to happen, the concentration of oxygen in the blood must be lower than the concentration of oxygen in the air or water
which of the following animals has a body covering that allows for the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide? flatworms
by pumping water over their gills, fish and aquatic mollusks promote diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide
an organisms might rely on the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide through their outer body covering if it is small and lives in water
which of the following aquatic animals uses lungs to breathe dolphins
mantle cavities, tracheal tubes, and book lungs are all types of respiratory structures in terrestrial invertebrates
in what way does living on land present a challenge to terrestrial animals they must keep their respiratory membranes moist, even in dry environments
what part of the mammalian heart receives deoxygenated blood right atrium
which of the following groups of animals has the most efficient gas exchange birds
humans have lungs with million of alveoli. this implies that humans... have a higher metabolic rate than amphibians and reptiles
a closed circulatory system is one which blood flows through a system of blood vessels throughout the body
in the open circulatory system of some mollusks, blood is found in blood vessels into cavities called sinuses
in a double-loop circulatory system what is the loop that goes to the lungs and back called pulmonary loop
both oysters and squid are mollusks. Why is an open circulatory system adequate for an oyster but not for a squid? oysters do not move around, but squid are very active
why is double-loop circulation better for larger, more active animals than singe-loop? it is difficult for a single pump to force blood through the entire system of a large animal
as shown in figure 27-3, the ventricle in a single-loop circulatory system is responsible for pumping blood out to the gills
which of the following animals has a true three-chambered heart? african bullfrog
in vertebrates with a double-loop circulation as illustrated in figure 27-4 (above), the loop that passes through the lungs is responsible for exchanging carbon dioxide for oxygen from the air
excretion is the process of removing metabolic wastes from the body
kidneys process nitrogenous wastes by filtering nitrogenous wastes by passive diffusion
kidneys that can conserve water are essential to homeostasis because... some animals live in dry or salty environments
aquatic animals that strain floating plants and animals from the water that they live in are filter feeders
a parasite is a type of symbiont
