23
Define "Protostome"
A category of organism or species with spiral cleavage and cells that are defined early Blastophore (first hole) becomes mouth
24
Define "Deuterostome"
A category organism or species with radial cleavage and cells that remain undetermined until later on Blastophore (first hole) becomes anus
25
What are the closest relatives of animals?
Choanoflagellates
26
What phyletic group is Animalia?
Monophyletic
27
Define "Exoskeleton" and explain its purpose
An external cuticle made of chitin and polysaccharide which protects, supports, and prevents dessication
28
Define "Hemolymph"
An alternative name for "blood" used in organisms that have open circulatory systems
29
Why might insects be so successful as a group?
-Flight (Wings are extension of cuticle, not true appendages) -Compound eyes -Antennae -Complex mouthparts (usually 7 parts)
30
What organisms are in the phylum: Porifera
Sponges, basal animals with no tissues but several cell types
31
What organisms are in the phylum: Ctenophora
Comb Jellies, radially symmetric and diploblastic. Propelled by 8 combs of cilia
32
What organisms are in the phylum: Cnidaria
Sea anemone, Jellies, hydras, corals, etc. two forms, radially symmetric and diploblastic, central gastrovascular cavity (mouth/anus) tentacles often covered in Cnidocytes
33
What are the two forms of a Cnidarian
Polyp: Sessile Medusa: Mobile
34
What is the function of a Cnidocyte in a Cnidarian
These cnidocytes are often nematocysts that release stinging thread with venom when exploded
35
What organisms are in the phylum: Annelida
Segmented worms. These live in marine, freshwater, and damp soil and are divided into two classifications: Errantia: Crawling/swimming Sedentaria: living in burrows or tubes
36
What organisms are in the phylum: Nematoda
Nematodes/roundworms. These worms are unsegmented and covered in a hard cuticle. No circulatory system, can live in marine, soil, or other organisms
37
What organisms are in the phylum: Arthropoda
The biggest phylum, have well developed sensory organs, are well cephalized, and can live in a wide range of habitats
38
Why are arthropods so successful?
- Segmented body with specialization -hard exoskeleton - jointed appendages for mobility - well-developed sensory organs
39
What organisms are in the phylum: Echinodermata
Sea stars, sea urchins and relatives. They have bilateral larvae, and adults mimic radial symmetry. Have a water vascular system connected to tube feet for feeding, locomotion, gas exchange
40
Name the four distinct orders of insect
- Coleoptera (Beetles) - Diptera (flies) - Hymenoptera (Bees &wasps) - Lepidoptera (butterflies & moths)
41
Name the three domains that all life is categorized into
Archaea Bacteria (prokaryotes) Eukarya
42
What environment are Archaea found in?
Typically extreme environments, halophile, thermophile, methanogen
43
What environment are Bacteria/Prokaryotes found in?
Nearly all. Soil, water, other organisms, even the upper atmosphere
44
What environment are Eukarya found in?
A wide array, from water, land, and other organisms, so long as water is available
45
What is the Serial Endosymbiosis Theory?
A theory proposed by Lynn Margulis that said that Protists came about when a bacteria entered an ancestral prokaryote and began living symbiotically
46
List some of the shared characteristics between land plants and Green Algae (Chlorophyta)
- Multicellular, eukaryotic, photosynthetic - Cellulose in cell walls - Contain chlorophyll & photosynthetic pigments
47
What are the adaptive changes in structure and reproduction that land plants underwent in their adaptation to land?
- Waxy cuticle (stomata) - Walled spores (sporopollenin) -Multicellular, dependent embryo (embryophytes) - Apical meristem
48
What group undergoes alternation of generations
Land plants
49
Define "Apical Meristem"
Localized clusters of live cells on the tips of roots and stems that allow for increase in length
50
Which phylum of plant has a dominant haploid gametophyte?
Seedless non-vascular plants (bryophytes)
51
Name the two adaptations that seeded, vascular plants evolved to prevent desiccation
- Needles (protect against water evaporation) -Seeds (Embryo has its own food supply and protective coat)
52
What is the difference between homospory and heterospory?
Homospory: non-vascular seedless plants, sexless gametophytes Heterospory: all seed plants, two types of gametophyte (micro and mega)
53
How many generations of plant tissue do seeds contain?
3: seed coat from mature sporophyte (2n) Food supply from female gametophyte (n) Embryo is the new sporophyte generation (2n)
54
What are the two main groups of seed plant?
Gymnosperm (naked seed, no fruit) Angiosperm (container seeds, fruit)
55
Which group of plant undergoes double fertilization?
Angiosperms
56
How do fungi get energy?
Through heterotrophy, absorbing small organic molecules
57
What is the advantage to mycelium covering a large area?
helps with food absorption
58
how do fungi reproduce?
Sexually or Asexually (spores)
