Question
Answer
asexual reproduction   Reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only.  
🗑
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   Closed circulatory systems have the blood closed at all times within vessels.  
🗑
coelom   The fluid-filled cavity within the body of most multicellular animals.  
🗑
colonial   Living in close association with one's species.  
🗑
fluid feeding   Feeding on the fluids of another organism.  
🗑
endoskeleton   A rigid support structure found within an organism.  
🗑
excretion   The process by which waste products of metabolism and other non-useful materials are eliminated from an organism.  
🗑
exoskeleton   A rigid external covering for the body in some invertebrate animals, especially arthropods, providing both support and protection.  
🗑
filter feeding   Feeding by straining suspended matter and food particles from water.  
🗑
free-living   An organism that is not directly dependent on another organism for survival  
🗑
internal transport   The process in which respiratory gases and nutrients are transported within an organism.  
🗑
invertebrates   Organisms lacking a spine and vertebrae.  
🗑
levels of organization   The biological levels of organization of living things arranged from the simplest to most complex.  
🗑
life functions   Vital processes that include digestion, respiration, reproduction, circulation, excretion, movement, coordination, and immunity.  
🗑
medusa   A form of cnidarian in which the body is shaped like an umbrella.  
🗑
motility   The ability of organisms and fluid to move or get around.  
🗑
multicellular   A more complex organism made up of multiple cells.  
🗑
niche   where an organism fits in relation to it's surroundings  
🗑
open circulatory system   The open circulatory system is a system in which a fluid in a cavity called the hemocoel bathes the organs directly with oxygen and nutrients and there is no distinction between blood and interstitial fluid.  
🗑
organ   A part of an organism that is typically self-contained and has a specific vital function.  
🗑
organ system   A group of organs that work together to perform one or more functions.  
🗑
parasite   An organism that lives in or on another organism and benefits by deriving nutrients at the host's expense.  
🗑
polyp   A solitary or colonial sedentary form of a coelenterate such as a sea anemone, typically having a columnar body with the mouth uppermost surrounded by a ring of tentacles.  
🗑
reproduction   The biological process by which new individual organisms are produced from their parents.  
🗑
resperation   The movement of oxygen from the outside air to the cells within tissues.  
🗑
response   How an organism adapts to its environment.  
🗑
sessile   An organism fixed in one place.  
🗑
sexual reproduction   The production of new living organisms by combining genetic information from two individuals of different types.  
🗑
symmetry   the symmetry of an organism dictates how complex an organism is  
🗑
tissue   Any of the distinct types of material of which animals or plants are made.  
🗑
vertebral column   the bone structure that runs down the back of vertebrates.  
🗑


   

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.
