Question
Answer
Asexual Reproduction   Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it does not involve the fusion of gametes and almost never changes the number of chromosomes.  
🗑
Cell   the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism  
🗑
Cephalization   a tendency in the development of animals to localization of important organs or parts in or near the head.  
🗑
Closed circulatory system   have the blood closed at all times within vessels of different size and wall thickness, blood is pumped through heart to vessels  
🗑
Coelom   the main body cavity of many animals. It is lined with an epithelium derived from mesoderm.  
🗑
Colonial   Possessing or inhabiting a colony or colonies.  
🗑
Fluid feeding   organisms that feed on the fluid of other organisms.  
🗑
Endoskeleton   an internal skeleton, such as the bony or cartilaginous skeleton of vertebrates.  
🗑
Excretion   the process of eliminating or expelling waste  
🗑
Exoskeleton   a rigid external covering for the body in some invertebrate animals, especially arthropods, providing both support and protection.  
🗑
Filter feeding   feeding by filtering out plankton or nutrients suspended in the water.  
🗑
Internal transport   The transport of matter within the body  
🗑
Invertebrates   Having no backbone or spinal column  
🗑
Levels of organization   living things arranged from the simplest to most complex are: organelle, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystem, and biosphere.  
🗑
Life functions   The function of matter turning into an organism  
🗑
Medusa   is a form of cnidarian in which the body is shaped like an umbrella  
🗑
Motility   mental imagery that arises primarily from sensations of bodily movement and position rather than from visual or auditory sensations.  
🗑
Motility/Motile   Moving or having the power to move spontaneously. Of or relating to mental imagery that arises primarily from sensations of bodily movement and position rather than from visual or auditory sensations.  
🗑
Multicellular   An organism having or consisting of many cells  
🗑
Niche   The way in which an organism fits into an ecological community or ecosystem  
🗑
Open circulatory system   The open circulatory system is common to molluscs and arthropods, pump blood into a hemocoel with the blood diffusing back to the circulatory system between cells.  
🗑
Organ   a part of an organism that is typically self-contained and has a specific vital function, such as the heart or liver in humans.  
🗑
Organ system   A group of organs that work together to perform one or more functions. Each does a particular job in the body, and is made up of certain tissues  
🗑
Parasite/Parasitic   An organism that lives and feeds on or in an organism of a different species and causes harm to its host  
🗑
Polyp   The hollow, columnar, sessile form of Cnidarians  
🗑
Reproduction   Is the biological process by which new individual organisms and are produced from their "parents".  
🗑
Respiration   the act of respiring; inhalation and exhalation of air; breathing  
🗑
Response   Any behavior of a living organism that results from an external or internal stimulus  
🗑
Sessile   To be fixed in one place (barnacles)  
🗑
Sexual reproduction   The production of new living organisms by combining genetic information from two individuals of different types  
🗑
Symmetry   Is the balanced distribution of duplicate body parts or shapes within the body of an organism  
🗑
Tissue   Is a cellular organizational level intermediate between cells and a complete organ  
🗑
Vertebral column   The series of vertebrae that extend from the cranium to the coccyx, and serves as a flexible bony case for the spinal cord  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
