Zoology Exam 2

QuestionAnswer
Tapeworm Phylum and Class Platyhelminthes, Cestoda
What is Homeostasis? Regulates chemistry of body fluids.
Intermediate Host Host that harbors a young, non-reproducing parasite.

4 major features of mollusks Shell, foot, mantle, visceral mass
Traits of Cephalopoda (Examples?) Foot modified into tentacles, shell reduced, prominent head with developed eyes, closed circulatory system. (Squids, Octopi, nautiluses)

Traits of bivalvia (Examples?) Two-part hinged shell, reduced head, marine or freshwater filter feeders. (Clams, oysters, mussels, scallops)
Traits of Gastropoda (Examples?) Well developed head with eyes and tentacles, body undergoes torsion during development. (Snails, Slugs, nudibranchs)
Roundworm life cycle and how many hosts? Human has worms which lay eggs, human poops out eggs which duplicate, eggs hatch and larvae comes out, larvae are then swallowed by humans. (1 host)
Liver fluke life cycle and # of hosts Adult fluke mates in liver laying eggs, egg is pooped out and eaten by a snail and hatches, snail poops out cercaria (hatched egg) which make their way to a water source and into a fish, fish is eaten and is now back in liver. (3 hosts)
What is a definitive host? Host carrying an adult parasite that can sexually reproduce.
Fluke Phylum and class Platyhelminthes, Trematoda
What happens in the small intestine? Digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Umbo The oldest, most central part of a bivalve shell
Cestoda life cycle and how many hosts? Human eats undercooked beef and gets tapeworms (cestoda), Cestoda lay eggs in intestine and are pooped out, eggs end up in grass that cow eats, eggs encryst in muscle, cow is killed and eaten. (2 Hosts)

Choanacytes Specialized cells in a sponge which create a current to bring things in a sponge.
Hypotonic organism Higher concentration outside organism and lower inside.
Hypertonic Organism Lower concentration outside organism, higher inside.
Smooth tissue Surrounds tubes (e.g. gut, blood vessels, pipes)
Amoebocytes Specialized cells in sponge used for reproduction and/or creating collagen
3 types of spicules Needle, fiberous, 6 ray’d
Anthozoa Anemones and corals
Pinacocytes Specialized cells in a sponge which control the openings and change shape of ostium
Skeletal tissue Attaches and moves skeletal elements
Isotonic organism Equal concentration inside and outside of organism
Earthworm (lumbricus) digestion order Mouth, pharynx, esophagus, crop, gizzard, intestine, anus
3 distinguishing features of annelids Segmentation/metamersion, setae, and worm shaped
-ptera Wing
Halteres Balancing organs
Collembola Springtails; found in forest soils
Thysaneura Silverfish; found in dark places
Ephemeroptera Mayflies; stream prey
Odonata Dragonflies, damselflies; carnivorous
Orthoptera Crickets, grasshoppers; crop pests
Dermaptera Earwigs
Isoptera Termites; eat wood, social creatures
Thysanoptera Thrips; crop pests
Hemiptera True bugs; some wingless
Homoptera Aphids, cicadas; plant pests, asexual reproduction
Coleoptera Beetles; leathery wings, specious
Lepidoptera Butterflies, moths
Diptera Flies, mosquitoes; 1 pair of wings
Trichoptera Caddisflies; stream prey
Siphonaptera Fleas
Hymenoptera Bees, ants, wasps; pollinators, social creatures
As size increases, s/v ratio... decreases
As size decreases, s/v ratio... increases
Why become multicellular? increases s/v ratio
Where does blood travel in a closed circulatory system Heart - Artery - Arterials - Capillary bed - Venues - Veins - Heart
4 Respiratory pigments hemoglobin, hemocyanin, hemorythrin, chlorocruorin
3 steps of animal respiration glycolysis, Krebs cycle, oxidative phosphorylation
animal respiration C6H12O6+O2 becomes CO2+H2O+ATP
Basal Metabolic Rate O2 required to live
General Diffusion Equation R=KA (ΔP/d)
Tagmosis fusing of segmentation
Ecdysis Molting
Homomerous no tagmosis
Chelicerata Spiders, scorpions, ticks, etc
Crustacea Crab, shrimp, lobster, barnacles, etc
Hexapoda insects
sodium-potassium pump membrane-bound protein that maintains and restores the neuron’s resting state
lateral line detects pressure waves in water for aquatic fishes and amphibians
Stobila Stacked individuals of some organisms
Turbellaria Planaria
Trematoda Flukes
Cestoda Tapeworms
tegument tough skin
Annelida Segmented worms
Polychaeta Nereis or Sandworm
Clitellata Free-living freshwater worms
Oligochaeta Lumbricus or Earthworm
Arthropoda subphylums Trilobita, Chelicerata, Crustacea, Myriapoda, Hexapoda
Subphylum Chelicerata Classes Merostomata, Arachnida
Subphylum Crustacea Classes Malacostraca
Lophotrochozoa Animals with trochophore larva (sister group to ecdysozoa)
Ecdysozoa molting organisms
What two categories within Protostomes have we looked at? What defines them? Lophotrochozoa (having trochophore larva stage), and Ecdysozoa (the molters)
Name three levels of nervous systems from least to most complex, and examples of animals that have each Nerve network (ie hydra), ladderlike system (ie planarian), nerve cord (ie earthworm)
Name the three sensory processes, with an example of each Chemosensory (ex. smell, taste); Mechanosensory (ex. touch, hearing); Electromagnetic/Photosensory (ex. sight)
Of the classes we've studied, which are deuterostomes? Chordata and Echinodermata
What group do protostomes and deuterostomes belong to? Bilateria
Of the phyla we've studied, which 3 phyla are acoelomate? Pseudocoelomate? Acoelomate: Porifera, Cnidaria, "platyhelminthes" Pseudocoelomate: nematoda
Of the phyla we've studied, which 2 have an incomplete gut? Cnidaria, "platyhelminthes"
Of the phyla we've studied, which 2 phyla have a respiratory system? Arthropoda, Echinodermata
Of the phyla we've studied, which 2 do not have an excretory system? Cnidaria, Porifera
Of the phyla we've studied, which do not have a circulatory system? Porifera, Cnidaria, "platyhelminthes", nematoda
How many hosts do each of the following parasites have in their life cycle: Tapeworms, Liver Flukes, Nematodes Tapeworms=2, Liver Flukes=3, Nematodes=1
Under what circumstances might an animal not need a circulatory system? What are some examples? If it is aqueous, holey, gelatinous, or flat (ex. porifera, cnidaria, platyhelminthes)
What are the two types of circulatory systems? Describe them. Open (hemolymph is pumped into the hemocoel, and when the heart relaxes, the fluid returns to it through the ostia) Closed (closed pipe system and blood)
What are respiratory pigments? Molecules that covalently bond O2 + CO2, which increases the solute concentration gradient between compartments in the body
Name and describe the three types of metamorphosis in insects. Ametabolous (no drastic change), Hemimetabolous (intermediate nymph stage), Holometabolous (drastic change-- intermediate larva and pupa)
Name the 4 steps of the digestive process Ingestion, digestion, absorption, elimination
What two important proteins are involved in the nervous system? The sodium-potassium pump, and the voltage gated sodium channel
Name four features of the neuron, from receiving end to delivery end. Dendrites, cell body, axon, axon terminal
What are the CNS and PNS? Central nervous system-- brain/ganglion and nerve cord Peripheral nervous system-- motor and sensory nerves throughout body
What do hormones trigger in insects metamorphosis
3 components of endocrine and immune systems Endocrine glands, hormones, and responsive target tissues.
2 main types of endocrine and immune systems proteins/peptides and steroids
Tinbergins 4 questions Causation, Survival value/function, Ontogeny/development, Evolution
Tinbergins Causation question Both proximate and ultimate causation. What causes these behaviors?
Tinbergins Survival value/function question What role does it play in the life of the animal?
Tinbergins Ontogeny/development question How does behavior differ in different stages in animal life as it matures?
Tinbergins Evolution question How do behaviors change throughout evolution of the animal.
Proximate Causation physiological reasoning of doing something (irritation causes you to itch arm)
Ultimate causation the want to do something due to environmental factors (change in season causes birds to migrate, cold causes animals to huddle together, etc.)
Uniramous vs biramous Uniramous describes an appendage (like a leg) that consists of a single branch. Biramous describes an appendage that splits into 2 branches.
