| 15. Protista reproduction | Some species reproduce through both mitosis and meiosis, or they use one or the other |
| 16. Tape worms | Be familiar with the characteristics and taxonomy |
| 17. Taxonomy of green plants | Phylum Chlorophyta: Point in which plants become plants and animals become animals |
| 18. Cnidarian stinging-cells | Cnidocytes (stinging cells), release poison and immobilize their prey |

| 22. Onchocerciasis (River blindness) | A filarial (worm) parasite, the vector is black fly, 20 million peole are infected with it |
| 23. Ecdysis | "molting", performed because the animal needs to shed its exoskeleton to grow |
| 24. The diet of earth worms | Decayed plant and animal matter (organic matter) |
| 25. Ticks | Carry over 50 human diseases |
| 26. Psepholopods (Mollusks) | Have a head-foot, squid and snail |
| 27. A concept in the weather makers (GIA) | GAIA, |
| 28. A documented extinction in the weather makers | Golden Frog, pg 115 |
| 29. Keeling from the Weather Makers | Pg 25, graph |
| 30. Bivalve | Two shells, clams, oysters |
| 31. Homology | the study of the same system in different organisms |
| 32. The structure of earth worms | Segmented and are hermaphrodites |
| 33. The geological period in the Weather Makers | Definition of the Mesozoic, started 245 million years which contained the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods |
| 34. True/False - General question about nematodes | The most important parasite of all parasitic groups, infects almost every animal and many plants |
| 35. Human | Platyhelminth, Pinworms- 30% of children have it, 16% of adults have it |
| Filarial worms | Inhabit or infect about 250 million people in the tropics |
| 37. Characteristics of a population (What is meant by “characteristics”?) | Population: The same species within a given area |
| 38. Evolutionary trends | increase brain capacity in humans |
| 39. Punctuated equilibrium | A rapid change over a short period of time, followed by a period of stasis |
| Genetic Equilibrium | Genetic Equilibrium: The tendency of large populations to remain relatively constant unless disrupted |
| 40. Bio-mass pyramid | Producer, Herbivores, Carnivores, Top Level Carnivores |
| 41. James Lovelock in Weather Makers | Came up with the concept of Gaia |
| 42. Greenhouse gases from the Weather Makers | Are comprised of CO2, Methane, come from the burning of fossil fuels |
| 43. Carbon sinks in the Weather Makers | The place carbon goes to once it leaves the atmosphere. It is absorbed and stored into the earth's crust and water, underground |
| 44. Taxonomy of spiders | Phylum Arthropoda, Subphylum Chelicerata, Class Arachnida |
| 45. Crustacea | "hard shell", crabs, they have two pairs of antenna |
| 46. Centipedes | Each body segment has one pair of leggs, inject poison, Class Chilopoda |
| 47. Metamorphosis | "multiple changes", Complete and Incomplete (no pupa), |
| Metamorphosis Stages | Instars |
| Metamorphosis uses | to give the organism a different niche for less competition |
| 48. Order Diptra | Flies, gnats, and mosquitos are unique because they have on set of wings instead of two |
| 49. Class Cephalopods | the most complex of the molluscs, squids, octopuses, nautiluses, and cuttlefishes |

| 53. Milankovich from weather makers | Identified 3 principle cycles that drive earths climatic variability pg 41 |
| 54. True/False—Arthropods | Chiton exoskeleton, jointed feet |
| 55. Taxonomy of arthropods | |
| 56. Metamorphosis of arthropods (How it benefits? Or Incomplete/Complete?) | Reduces competition by being in a different niche |
| ESSAY – 6 points each | |
