Q

What traits do the members of the Phylum Arthropoda share

A

The body is completely covered by an external skeleton that molts, or sheds, as the animal grows. The body is divided into segments, which are specialized into different roles.

Q

What traits do the members of the Phylum Cnidaria share

A

All members of the phylum have radial, or circular, symmetry. All members of the phylum live in water. Some members of the phylum are free-floating, while others are fixed to a surface.

Q

In the 18th century, why did sponges and corals confuse scientists

A

Scientists were confused by sponges and corals because they did not seem to move, but obtained their food by filtering tiny organisms floating in the water

26
Q

What are the 3 groups fish are divided in

A

Jawless, Cartilaginous, and Bony fish

27
Q

What is the substance that animals make that no other organisms can

A

Q

Collagen Definition

A

The basic building block of all bones, tendons, ligaments, and skin

29
Q

What are the 7 processes of all animals that make them unique

A

1) Movement and support
2) Nervous systems and sense
3) Respiration
4) Circulation

30
Q

What percentage of animals are invertebrates

A

95%

31
Q

Which eight groups are invertebrates divided in

A

Sponges, cnidarians, flatworms, segmented worms, mollusks, roundworms, arthropods, and echinoderms

32
Q

What are sponges

A

They are the simplest animals

33
Q

Cnidarians Characteristics

A

They have sting cells that they use to catch prey

34
Q

Flatworms Characteristics

A

Worms with long, flat bodies and bilateral symmetry. Most are parasites

35
Q

Roundworms Characteristics

A

Worms with round bodies

36
Q

Mollusks Characteristics

A

Soft-bodied invertebrates, often with a protective shell, that have a muscular foot that allows them to move around and anchor themselves

37
Q

Annelids ( Segmented Worms) Characteristics

A

Segmented Worms, such as earthworms and leeches

38
Q

Arthropods Characteristics

A

They have jointed body parts, such as claws, legs, and antenna; bilateral symmetry; and segmented bodies.

39
Q

Echinoderms Characteristics

A

Have spiny skin, water filled veins, an internal skeleton, and tube feet. They have radial symmetry

40
Q

What is the largest group of invertebrates

A

Arthropods

41
Q

Arthropods Definition

A

A bilaterally symmetrical invertebrate with an exoskeleton, segmented body, and jointed appendages

42
Q

Asymmetry Definition

A

A body plan that lacks symmetry

43
Q

Bilateral Symmetry Definition

A

A body plan in which the body has a distinct head end and halves that are mirror images of each other

44
Q

Cnidarian Definition

A

A radially symmetrical invertebrate that uses stinging cells to capture prey and defend itself

45
Q

Echinoderm Definition

A

A radially symmetrical invertebrate with spiny skin, an internal skeleton, and a system of water-filled veins

46
Q

Mollusk Definition

A

A bilaterally symmetrical, soft-bodied invertebrate, often with a protective shell, that has a muscular foot that allows it to move around or anchor itself

47
Q

Radial Symmetry Definition

A

A body plan in which the body parts are arranged symmetrically around a central point, meaning that it looks the same no matter how you turn it around the central point

48
Q

Body symmetry helps scientists order what

A

Invertebrates

49
Q

What are invertebrates

A

Animals without backbones

50
Q

What affects the way an animal functions

A

The Body Symmetry

51
Q

Animals with radial symmetry can do what

A

Animals with radial symmetry can take in information from any direction

52
Q

Animals with bilateral symmetry have what

A

Animals with bilateral symmetry generally have sense organs, such as eyes, noses, and ears, concentrated at the head end. The head end of these animals also tends to contain a concentration of nervous tissue, which comprises a brain.

53
Q

How does radial symmetry help cnidarians survive

A

Helps them find food in every direction

54
Q

Which phylum contains soft-bodied, aquatic, radially-symmetrical animals with stinging tentacles

A

Cnidaria

55
Q

Which phylum contains the largest group of invertebrates, all which have segmented bodies, tough exoskeletons, and bilateral symmetry

A

Arthropoda

56
Q

Which phylum includes the sea star and other aquatic animals that have a spiny skin, radial symmetry, water-filled veins, and suction cup like feet

A

Echinodermata

57
Q

What phylum includes soft-bodied animals with radial symmetry that have an internal or external shell

A

Mollusca

58
Q

How many meters long is an adult giant squid

A

An adult giant squid can reach up to 13 meters or 43 feet long

59
Q

What is special about the giant squid’s eyes

A

The squid’s eyes are the largest in the animal kingdom

60
Q

What is the giant squid’s only known predator

A

The Sperm Whale

61
Q

How does the giant squid hide from its predator

A

To hide from sperm whales, the giant squid can change its color to blend in with its environment
