CP3(C2) Flashcards
Is the increase in cell size and number that take place during the life history of an organism.
Growth
Encompasses the biology of regeneration and reproduction, metamorphosis, and growth and differentiation of stem cells in the adult organism
Development
Is a biological process by which new individual organism or offspring are produced from their parents(asexual or sexual).
Reproduction
Is a noncellular material
that is located on top of the epidermal
cell layer and constitutes the outermost
part of the integument.
Exoskeleton
Is a periodic shedding of
the cuticle followed by the
formation of a new cuticle
Molting
Is a major constituent of the
exoskeleton, or external skeleton, of
many arthropods such as insects,
spiders, and crustaceans.
Chitin
What are the two processes involve in molting?
Apolysis
Ecdysis
Sclerotisation
–the separation of old cuticle from underlying epidermis as mediated in part by ecdysone hormone
Apolysis
actual shedding of the remnants of the old cuticle as mediated by eclosion hormone
Ecdysis
the remains of an exoskeleton
and related structures that are
left after ecdysozoans have
moulted.
Exuvia
Is a biological process by which an animal (ecdysozoans) physically develops including birth or hatching, involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animal’s body structure through cell growth and differentiation
.
Metamorphosis
What are the types of Development?
- Ametabolous
- Hemimetabolous
- Paurometabolous
- Holometabolous
No metamorphosis. These insects are primitively wingless where the only difference between adult and nymph is size.
Ametabolous
Incomplete metamorphosis - The immature stage inhabits in water and are called naiad. Wings appear as buds (wing pad) on the early instars. When the last molt is completed the wings expand to the full adult size.
Hemimetabolous
Incomplete metamorphosis
- The immature stage inhabits in terrestrially and are called nymphs. Insect young are usually similar to the adult. Wings appear as buds on the nymphs or early instars. When the last molt is completed the wings expand to the full adult size.
Paurometabolous
Complete metamorphosis
- These insects have a different form in their immature and adult stages, have different behaviors and live in different habitats.
Holometabolous
Types of Reproduction
- Oviparity
- Viviparity
- Parthenogenisis
