Biology - Exam 4

TermDefinition
Animals that eat their way through a substrate such as soil are specifically called ________ feeders Deposit
Animals that filter out food particles from the air or water are termed _________ feeders Suspension
Consume other animals Carnivore
Consume dead organic matter Detrivore
Consume algae or plant material Herbivore
Consume both plants and animals Omnivore
Parasites that live and feed from within their host’s body are called __________ parasites Endo
Parasites that are found on the outside of their host’s body are called _________ parasites Ecto
The protist ancestors of animals are Choanoflagellates
The development of a concentration of nervous and sensory structures into a distinct head region is called Cephalization
The hollow portion of a blastula is termed the Blastocoel
Gastrulation results in the development of different germ layers. If an animal possesses two tissue layers they are termed Diploblastic
Gastrulation results in the development of different germ layers. I an animal possesses three tissue layers they are termed Triploblastic
Gastrulation results in the development of different germ layers. The most exterior layer is the Ectoderm
Gastrulation results in the development of different germ layers. The middle layer is the Mesoderm
Gastrulation results in the development of different germ layers. The inner most layer is the Endoderm
Progression from juveniles to adulthood can involve significant body plan changes between the two forms, known as Metamorphosis
Progression from juveniles to adulthood can involve the young growing larger and retaining the same basic body plan in a process called Direct development
Body plan symmetry that is based on a circular pattern is called _________ symmetry Radial
Body plan symmetry that results in mirror left and right halves is called ________ symmetry. Bilateral
A fluid filled cavity located between the gut tube and body wall that is completely lined with mesoderm tissue is known as a Coelom
A fluid filled cavity located between the gut tube and body wall that is only partially lined with mesoderm it is called a Pseudocoelom
This fluid filled cavity can assist with movement when muscles contract and create pressure in different parts of the body causing them to stretch and bend. This supportive structure is also known as a Hydrostatic skeleton
The process of shedding an outer covering in order to grow in size is sometime referred to as molting but is also known as Ecdysis
If an animal possesses an entirely segmented body this is known as Metamerism
Three separate animal phyla where ________ appeared to evolve independently include Annelida, Arthropoda, and Chordata Segmentation
If an animal possesses digestive structures with a single opening which is where both food enters and wastes exit, this is known as ______________ digestion Incomplete
If an animal possesses digestive structures where there are two separate openings and food moves in a one-way fashion through the system, this is known as __________ digestion Complete
Since sponges lack true tissues, they are the only modern animal phylum that belongs to the group Parazoa
Sponge cells are embedded in gelatinous substance called ___________ supported by the protein fiber Spongin Mesohyl
Sponge cells are embedded in gelatinous substance called Mesohyl supported by the protein fiber _____________ Spongin
Sponges are filter feeders that use cells called ___________ to establish water flow through their bodies. Choanocytes
In sponges, water enters through pores called _________ into a larger interior cavity called a Spongocoel and then eventually up and out of their bodies through larger openings called Oscula Ostia
In sponges, water enters through pores called Ostia into a larger interior cavity called a __________ and then eventually up and out of their bodies through larger openings called Oscula Spongocoel
In sponges, water enters through pores called Ostia into a larger interior cavity called a Spongocoel and then eventually up and out of their bodies through larger openings called ___________ Oscula
The non-cellular material found between the outer and inner body layers of a cnidarian is called Mesoglea
Cnidarian stinging cells are called Cnidocytes
The ciliated larval stage of some cnidarians is known as a ___________ larvae Planula
All molluscs possess a body structure called a ___________, which is a dorsal extension of their body wall that surrounds their visceral mass. Mantle
In molluscs, the mantle may also create a water-filled chamber that houses the respiratory structures (typically gills) called the _____________ Mantle cavity
The rasping tongue-like structure of many molluscs is called a Radula
Gastropoda members undergo a unique developmental process where the digestive tract twists 180˚ leading to the mouth and anus facing in the same direction. This process is also known as Torsion
Molluscs called chitons belong to the Mollusca class Polyplacophora
The circulatory system of most molluscs is considered ________ since the blood is not entirely confined to the vessels. Open
Members of the Platyhelminthes phylum are also known less formally as Flatworms
The beginnings of cephalization is evident in Platyhelminthes with some basic centralization of the central nervous system into clusters of nervous tissue called ______________ located in the head region that connect to two main nerve cords Ganglia
Platyhelminthes members possess excretory structures consisting of a series of small, interconnected tubules that collect and filter body fluids that are called Protonephridia
In Platyhelminthes, the movement of fluid through Protonephridia is accomplished by the beating cilia of specialized cells called Flame Cells
Tapeworms belong to the Platyhelminthes class Cestoda
Flukes belong to the Platyhelminthes class Trematoda
When an animal such as an annelid has an entire body consisting of repeated segments this type of body organization is referred to as Metamerism
When an animal such as an annelid has an entire body consisting of repeated segments, Internally each segment is separated by a Septum
Annelids possess a pair of tubular structures in each segment that collect and filter body fluids. These excretory structures are called Nephridia
This annelid class has a closed circulatory system Hirudinea
This annelid class has a closed circulatory system and chaetae. Oligochaetae
This annelid class has a closed circulatory system and parapodia Polychaetae
Nematodes possess a fluid-filled cavity that is partially lined with mesoderm tissue called a Pseudocoelom
Arachnids have claw-like mouthparts called Chelicerae
Insects possess three specialized segments collectively referred to as Tagmata
The specific segment in insects that has the locomotive structures attached is called the Thorax
In many crustaceans, the first two segments of their body are fused together into a segment called the Cephalothorax
The compound eyes of many arthropods consist of multiple lenses each with its own neural connection to the brain. These individual vision units are called Ommatidia
Complete metamorphosis (larval and adult forms are distinct) is also known as _______________ metamorphosis Holometabolous
Incomplete, or ____________ metamorphosis has juvenile forms that more closely resemble the adults save for missing key adult features Hemimetabolous
Echinoderms possess a unique organ system involved in locomotion called the Water vascular system
The external opening of the water vascular system that acts as a sieve-like plate allowing entry of water is called a Madreporite
Sea urchins and sand dollars belong to the echinoderm class Echinoidea
Lancelets are small worm-like aquatic chordates that belong to the Chordata subphylum Cephalochordata
Tunicates such as sea squirts belong to the subphylum Urochordata
The name tunicate comes from the fact that these animals possess a protective sheath called a tunic, which is unique in that it contains the polysaccharide Cellulose
