| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Characteristics of an animal | consumers, most have true tissues, interact with the environment and other animals, |
| Invertebrate | animals without bone tissue |
| Characteristics of Sponges | sessile filter feeders with specialized cells |
| Spicules | needlelike spines which make the sponge stiff, and used for protection |
| Asexual reproduction | reproduction without exchanging genetic material |
| Sexual reproduction | reproduction which involves the exchange of genetic material |
| Larva | Immature form of an organism that is different from its parent |
| Bilateral symmetry | only one line of symmetry, left and right |
| Radial symmetry | having more than one line of symmetry |
| Characteristics of Cnidarians | radial symmetry, tentacles, a single opening where food enters and waste leaves. |
| nematocyst | stinging cell on a tentacle |
| Classes of cnidarians | sea anenome, coral, jellyfish |
| Worms | tube-shaped bodies with bilateral symmetry |
| Phyla of Worms | segmentedworms, flatworms and round worms |
| Annelids | segmented worms with organized body systems |
| Characteristics of Flatworms and Round worms | simple body systems that move with cilia, may be parasitic |
| Characteristics of Mollusks | soft bodied, with a foot and a mantle |
| Classes of Mollusks | bivalves, gastropods, cephalopods |
| Characteristics of Echinoderms | live in the oceans, adults have radial symmetry, feed on the sea floor |
| Examples of Echinoderms | sea stars, sea urchins, sea dollars |

| Complete metamorphosis | Life cycle that includes a larval, pupal, and adult stage. |
| Incomplete metamorphosis | Life cycle where young grows gradually, and forms an reproductive adult life form at the end. |
| Gills | Organs with high surface area, used to exchange gases in water animals. |
| Water Vascular System | Hydraulic system used by echinoderms for movement, digestion and circulation. |
| Tube feet | fluid filled muscular tubes used by echinoderms for movement and grasping |
| Three body parts of insects | head, thorax and abdomen |
