30
Q

Excretion

A

removal of metabolic wastes

these include water, CO2, and nitrogenous wastes

31
Q

3 different types of nitrogenous wastes

A

ammonia
urea
uric acid

32
Q

Ammonia

A
  • very soluble in water and highly toxic

- excreted generally by organisms that live in water, including hydra and fish

33
Q

Urea

A
  • not as toxic as ammonia
  • excreted by earthworms and humans
  • in mammals, it’s formed in the liver from ammonia
34
Q

Uric Acid

A
  • pastelike substance that that is not soluble in water and therefore not very toxic
  • excreted by insects, many reptiles, and birds, with a minimum of water loss
35

urea

38

uric acid

39
Q

Organism: humans
Structure:

40
Q

Where does digestion occurs in cnidarians like hydra and jellyfish?

A

gastrovascular cavity which only has 1 opening, the mouth

41
Q

The animal (hydra-cnidarians) has a 2-way digestive tract meaning

A

food enters the same opening as waste exists

42
Q

Hydra-phylum cnidaria

Cells of the gastrodermis (lining of the gastrovascular cavity or gastrocoel)

A

secrete digestive enzymes into the cavity to aid in extracellular digestion (where the main part of digestion occurs)

43
Q

Since the cnidarians are animals, their cells

A

contain lysosomes that carry out intracellular and extracellular digestion

44
Q

What is the basic body plan of the hydra? of the jellyfish?

A

polyp

medusa

45
Q

Symmetry of cnidarians

A

primitive and radial

46
Q

Cell layers of Cnidarians

A

2 cell layers, ecto and endoderm

layers are held together by mesoglea (middle glue)

47
Q

Why doesn’t the hydra need a circulatory system?

A

every cell is in direct contact with its environment

48
Q

All cnidarians have cells called cnidocytes that contain

A

stingers, called nematocysts

49
Q

Explain the nervous system of cnidarians

A

response to environment is controlled by a primitive nervous system, a nerve net, where impulses travel in all directions from any site
-as a result, entire animal responds to a single stimulus

50
Q

How do cnidarians reproduce?

A

sexually and asexually by budding

51
Q

What’s budding

A

a bud is a genetically identical but miniature version of the parent that forms within or on the parent, ultimately it breaks free

52
Q

The digestive tract of the earthworm is

A

a long, straight tube

53
Q

Earthworm digestion - Step 1

A

mouth ingests decaying organic matter along with soil

54
Q

Earthworm digestion - Step 2

A

from the mouth, food moves to the esophagus and then to the crop, where it is stored

55
Q

Earthworm digestion - Step 3

A

the gizzard which consist of thick muscular walls, grinds up the food with the help of sand and soil, which were ingested along with the organic matter

56
Q

Earthworm digestion - Step 4

A

the rest of the digestive tract consists of the intestines where chemical digestion and absorption occur

57
Q

What is absorption in earthworms enhanced by?

A

the presence of a large fold in the upper surface of the intestine, called the typhlosole, which greatly increases the surface area

58
Q

How does the exchange of respiratory gases work in earthworms?

A

occurs passively by diffusion through the moist skin
earthworm are said to have an external respiratory surface because diffusion of these gases occurs at the animal’s surface

59
Q

Earthworm’s Circulatory System- heart

A

-heart consist of 5 pairs of aortic arches that pump blood through arteries, veins, and capillaries

60
Q

Why do we think the earthworm has a closed circulatory system?

A

since blood never normally leaves these blood vessels

61
Q

The brain of the earthworm consists of

A

2 dorsal, solid, fused ganglia that connect to a solid, ventral nerve cord

62
Q

The earthworm has paired ________ ub every body segment to remove the nitrogenous waste urea

A

nephridia

63
Q

Earthworm reproduction

A

earthworm is a hermaphrodite

64
Q

Grasshopper’s Digestive Tract

A

consists of a long tube consisting of a crop and a gizzard

65
Q

Grasshopper has specialized mouthparts for

A

tasting, biting, and crushing food

66
Q

Grasshopper has a gizzard that contains

A

plates made of chitin that help grind food

67
Q

Grasshopper digestive tract is also responsible for removing

A

nitrogenous waste uric acid from the animal

-malpighian tubules

68
Q

Grasshopper circulatory system - heart

A

-heart is tubular and animal lacks capillaries

69
Q

Grasshopper has an

A

open circulatory system where blood normally leaves the artery and moves through interconnected sinuses or hemocoels (spaces surrounding the organs)

70
Q

Arthropod blood doesn’t carry

A

hemoglobin or oxygen

71
Q

Grasshopper/Arthropods&Crustaceans Respiratory system

A

internal respiratory surface because exchange of oxygen and CO2 occurs inside the animal

72
Q

In an internal respiratory surface,

A

air enters the body through spiracles and travels through a system of tracheal tubes into the homecoels or sinuses, where diffusion occurs

73
Q

In arthropods and some mollusks, oxygen is carried by

A

hemocyanin, a molecule similar to hemoglobin but with copper, instead of iron, as its core atom
