| 8. What is the difference between a poisonous animal and a venomous animal? | Poisonous refers to something harmful when ingested or touched, while venomous refers to an organism that actively injects toxins through a bite or sting. |
| 9. Describe the biology of an animal within the Subphylum Crustacea. | A crab, a member of the Subphylum Crustacea, is a hard-shelled, aquatic arthropod with a segmented body, jointed limbs, and gills for breathing, undergoing molting to grow. |
| 10. Describe the biology of an animal within the subphlyum Hexapoda. | A honeybee, a member of the Subphylum Hexapoda, has a chitinous exoskeleton, three pairs of legs, two pairs of wings, and undergoes complete metamorphosis from larva to adult while exhibiting complex social behavior. |
| Describe the general biology of animals in Phylum Echinodermata | Animals in the Phylum Echinodermata, such as sea stars and sea urchins, are marine invertebrates with radial symmetry in adults, a calcareous endoskeleton, and a unique water vascular system used for movement, respiration, and feeding. |
| . Describe the general biology of animals in Phylum Platyhelminthes | flatworms, are soft-bodied, bilaterally symmetrical invertebrates with a flattened body, lacking a coelom and specialized respiratory or circulatory systems, and often exhibit a simple nervous system and gastrovascular cavity. |

| Describe the general characteristics of fish | Aquatic, gills and fins |
| Describe the general characteristics of Amphibians. | cold-blooded vertebrates that typically begin life as aquatic larvae with gills and metamorphose into air-breathing adults with lungs, moist skin for cutaneous respiration, and a life cycle that often depends on water for reproduction. |

| Describe the general characteristics of reptiles | Tough, dry, water-resistant scale |
| What is the difference between an endotherm and an ectotherm? | Endoderm is an animal that can produce their own body temp by producing heat through blood. Ectotherm is an animal that relies on external environment to regulate body temp |
