Question
Answer
What are some characteristics for an Animalia?   -Multicellular -Eukaryotic with no cell walls -Heterotrophs (consumers)  
🗑
Ectoderm   A layer of cells on the outer surface of the gastrula (top); skin and tissue  
🗑
Mesoderm   Made up of two layers of cells lying between the ectoderm and endodem (Middle layer); muscles, reproductive organs, and circulatory vessels  
🗑
Endoderm   A layer of cells lining the inner surface of the gastrula (bottom); digestive tract  
🗑
Protostomes   Animals that develop a mouth from gastrula space  
🗑
Duterostomes   Animals that develop an anus from gastrula space  
🗑
Asymmetrical   Irregular in shape  
🗑
Symmetrical   Regular in shape  
🗑
Radial symmetry   Can be divided along any plane into equal halves  
🗑
Bilateral Symmetry   Can be divided only down it's length in half, creating a mirror image of each side  
🗑
Acoelomates   Animals have three cell layers with a digestive tract but no body cavities  
🗑
Pseudocoelomates   Animals with a fluid-filled body cavity partly liked with mesoderm  
🗑
Coelomates   Animals with a body cavity completely surrounded by mesoderm  
🗑
What are the 7 essential functions in animals?   The 7 functions are feeding, respiration, circulation, excretion, response, movement, and reproduction  
🗑
What are the organization levels?   Cells, tissue, organs, and organ system  
🗑
Exoskeleton   A hard, waxy coating on the outside of the body to protect the internal organs  
🗑
Endoskeleton   A support framework within the body to protect the organs  
🗑
Bony skeleton   Skeleton consisting of bone  
🗑
Hydroskeleton   A fluid-filed cavity, the coelom, surrounded by muscles  
🗑
Invertebrates   Animals lacking a backbone  
🗑
Vertebrates   Animals with a backbone  
🗑
What are the 5 subphylum vertebrata classes?   -Fish -Amphibians -Reptiles -Birds -Mammals  
🗑
Where did the vertebrate jaw of a fish evolve from?   From the skeletal supports of pharyngeal slits  
🗑
Bony fishes   Developed paired pelvic and pectoral fins attached to the pelvic girdles of cartilage or bone  
🗑
Where did tetradpods evolve from?   They evolved from specialized fishes that inhabited in shallow water  
🗑
Tetrapod   Developed lobed walking fins and breathed air by gulping out of the water (were amphibians)  
🗑
Amphibians   Need to return to the water to lay eggs and for development of larvae  
🗑
Amniotes   Includes reptiles, mammals, and birds. Evolution of their egg expanded the success of vertebrates on land  
🗑
Testudines   Turtles - some species return to the water and all lay their eggs on land  
🗑
Sphenodontia   Tuataras  
🗑
Squamata   Lizards and snakes  
🗑
Crocodilia   Crocodiles and alligators  
🗑
What did birds start out as?   Birds began as feathered reptiles, then they evolved to fly  
🗑
Endothermic   Use metabolic energy to generate heat  
🗑
Wings   Flight enhanced the ability to hunt and savage, escape predators, and move with changing seasons  
🗑
What does hair and subcutaneous fat do?   Help retain metabolic heat  
🗑
Earliest mammals   Evolved from reptiles about 220 million years ago  
🗑
Monotremes   Lay eggs and produce milk (no nipples)  
🗑
Marsupials   Born early in embryonic development, climb to mother's pouch and attach to a nipple  
🗑
Vertebrate brain   High degree of cephalization  
🗑
Vertebrate movement   Have a backbone and two pairs of limbs that are attached to a basic supporting structure by limb girdles  
🗑
Carnivores   Short digestive tracts with special enzymes that break down meat  
🗑
Herbivores   Long intestines and stomachs with bacteria that break down cellulose  
🗑
Single-loop circulatory system   Blood travels from the heart to the gills to the body and back to the heart  
🗑
Double-loop circulatory system   -Heart to lungs -Heart to body  
🗑
Vertebrate excretion   -Excretory system eliminate nitrogenous wastes and regulate the amount of water in the body -Most rely on kidneys for excretion -Nitrogenous wastes are first produced in the form of ammonia  
🗑
Vertebrate respiration   Aquatic vertebrates - use gills for respiration Terrestrial Vertebrate - Use lungs to breathe  
🗑


   

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.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
