Answer 1

``` Phylum Arthropoda Chelicerae = feeding appendages 6 pairs of appendages Cephalothorax (head and thorax fused) Two Classes: Merostomata and Arachnida ```

Answer 2

``` Horseshoe crabs (Limulus) Marine Medically important Male/female dimorphism Book gills Telson = tail for steering ```

Answer 3

``` Spiders, scorpions, ticks, mites, etc. One pair of chelicerae One pair of pedipalps Four pairs of legs Book lungs ```

Answer 4

``` Phylum Arthropoda Jaw-like mandibles One pair of antennae (sensory) One pair of compound eyes Unbranched appendages Three classes: Diplopoda, Chilopoda, Insecta ```

Answer 5

Millipedes Fused pairs of trunk segments Two paired appendages per segment

Answer 6

Centipedes One paired appendage per segment Flattened

Answer 7

``` Butterflies, moths, bees, flies, termites, etc. Largest class Wings Trachea system (gas exchange) Spiracles (prevent desiccation) Hemocoel Malpighian tubules (excretory) ```

Answer 8

``` Phylum Arthropoda Crabs, lobsters, shrimp, barnacles, copepods, etc Most are marine Three or more paired appendages Biramous (claws) Two pairs of antennae ```

Answer 9

Subphylum Crustacea Crabs, lobsters, shrimp, etc 60% of crustaceans Tripartite (3 segments: head, thorax, abdomen)

Answer 10

Sea stars, brittle stars, sea cucumbers, sea lilies, sea urchins, sea biscuits, etc Invertebrates Triploblastic Pentaradial symmetry as adults; bilateral as larvae Eucoelomate Deuterostomes

Answer 11

``` Phylum Echinodermata Sea stars Gonads and digestive tracts in arms Regeneration Oral and aboral surfaces Dermal branchiae and pedicellariae (removal of debris from body) Water vascular system Madresporite (water intake) Tube feet ```

Answer 12

``` 42,000 Known species HIghest diversity is coral reefs of south pacific and equatorial rain forests All share 5 characteristics: 1. Notochord 2. Post-anal tail 3. Pharyngeal gill pouches 4. Dorsal, hollow nerve chord 5. Endostyle/thyroid ```

Answer 13

Phylum Chordata Acorn worms Only possess pharyngeal gill slits

Answer 14

Phylum Chordata Tunicates, sea squirts Larval form = all characteristics Adults = gill slits and endostyle

Answer 15

Phylum Chordata Amphioxus All characteristics throughout life Paedomorphic: larva reaches sexual maturity

Answer 16

``` Phylum Chordata Cephalization Endoskeleton (segmented): protects nerve cord. Cartilage or bone 2 pairs of jointed appendages (exception: snakes and some amphibians) Outer protective tissue Pisces: all fish=like groups Tetrapods: terrestrial groups Agnathans: jawless Gnathostomes: jawed ```

Answer 17

``` Subphylum Vertebrata About 75 species Lamprey = freshwater or marine Hagfish = marine All jawless with cartilaginous skeletons No paired fins Single nostril 2 chambered heart ```

Answer 18

``` Subphylum Vertebrata About 800 Species Sharks, skates, rays Mostly marine Paired fins and nostrils Heterocercal tails Placoid scales Lateral line Males with claspers Types of birth: viviparous, ovoviviparous, oviparous ```

Answer 19

Live birth

Answer 20

Egg hatched internally, followed by live birth

Answer 21

Hatched from an egg

Answer 22

Subphylum Vertebrata Largest vertebrate class: about 24,600 species Bony fishes Streamlined and fusimorm (large in middle) Covered with dermal scales (except eels) Lateral line Swim bladder

Answer 23

``` Subphylum Vertebrata 4300 species Frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, caecilians Reproduction dependent on water Metamorphosis 3 types of respiration: lungs, gills, skin 3 chambered heart Ectothermic ```

Answer 24

``` Subphylum Vertebrata About 6700 species Turtles, crocodilians, lizards, dinosaurs = sort of Amniotic egg Ectothermic 3 or 4 chambered heart Protective, dry scales ```

Answer 25

``` Subphylum Vertebrata About 8800 species Birds Evolved from dinosaurs Endothermic 4 chambered heart Air sacs for respiration Large cerebellum = flight modifications 3 feather types: Flight, down, filoplumes ```

Answer 26

``` Subphylum Vertebrata All have: Body hair Mammary glands Live birth (except monotremes) with placental development Endothermy 4 chambered heart diaphragm ```

Answer 27

Class Mammalia Platypus, echidna Oviparous with cloaca

Answer 28

Class Mammalia Kangaroos Pouched mammals; young born undeveloped

Answer 29

Class Mammalia Placental animals Young born fully developed
