U1L07AnimalDiversity

AP Biology B

QuestionAnswer
(1) The process of cytokinesis in animal cells, characterized by pinching of the plasma membrane. (2) The succession of rapid cell divisions without significant growth during early embryonic development that converts the zygote to a ball of cells. cleavage
In animal development, a series of cell and tissue movements in which the blastula-stage embryo folds inward, producing a three-layered embryo, the gastrula. gastrulation
A free-living, sexually immature form in some animal life cycles that may differ from the adult animal in morphology, nutrition, and habitat. larva
An early group of soft-bodied, multicellular eukaryotes known from fossils that range in age from 565 million to 550 million years old. Ediacaran biota
In animals, a set of morphological and developmental traits that are integrated into a functional whole—the living animal. body plan
Body symmetry in which a central longitudinal plane divides the body into two equal but opposite halves. bilateral symmetry
Pertaining to the underside, or bottom, of an animal with radial or bilateral symmetry. ventral
Pertaining to the rear, or tail end, of a bilaterally symmetrical animal. posterior
The outermost of the three primary germ layers in animal embryos; gives rise to the outer covering and, in some phyla, the nervous system, inner ear, and lens of the eye. ectoderm
The endoderm-lined cavity, formed during gastrulation, that develops into the digestive tract of an animal. archenteron
The middle primary germ layer in a triploblastic animal embryo; develops into the notochord, the lining of the coelom, muscles, skeleton, gonads, kidneys, and most of the circulatory system in species that have these structures. mesoderm
A fluid- or air-filled space between the digestive tract and the body wall. body cavity
An animal that possesses a true coelom (a body cavity lined by tissue completely derived from mesoderm). coelomate
A solid-bodied animal lacking a cavity between the gut and outer body wall. acoelomate
In animals, a developmental mode distinguished by the development of the anus from the blastopore; often also characterized by radial cleavage and by the body cavity forming as outpockets of mesodermal tissue. deuterostome development
A type of embryonic development in protostomes that rigidly casts the developmental fate of each embryonic cell very early. determinate cleavage
A type of embryonic development in deuterostomes in which each cell produced by early cleavage divisions retains the capacity to develop into a complete embryo. indeterminate cleavage
In a gastrula, the opening of the archenteron that typically develops into the anus in deuterostomes and the mouth in protostomes. blastopore
Member of a clade of animals with bilateral symmetry and three germ layers. bilaterian
Member of a group of animal phyla identified as a clade by molecular evidence. Lophotrochozoans include organisms that have lophophores or trochophore larvae. lophotrochozoan

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
