Q

what are the two types of symmetry and how to distinguish between them

A
  1. radial symmetry
    - doesn’t possess left/right side
    - slicing through central axis divides the animal into mirror images
  2. bilateral symmetry
    - possess left/right side
    - slicing through the animal laterally divides it into mirror images

Q

what are the body of porifera composed of

A

spicules or proteinaceous fibers

27
Q

what differentiates the two forms of cnidaria

A

how do we call it when a cnidarian exhibit both body forms

A

polymorphism

32
Q

which body from do hydras exhibit

A

polyp

33
Q

what type of cells are found on tentacles

A

cnidocytes

34
Q

how does the polyp for differ from the medusa form in terms of mobility

A

the medusa form is more mobile and can swim, while they polyp holds onto and moves along surfaces

Q

what are the defining characteristics of platyhelminthes

A
  • bilateral symmetry
  • no body cavity
  • triploblastic
  • cephalization
36
Q

what do we mean when we say an organism exhibit cephalization

that all of its sensory organs are concentrated in the head region

37
Q

what are the defining characteristics of nematodes

A
  • triploblastic

A

to secrete protective shell

41
Q

what are the three main groups in mollusks and do they have open or closed circulation

A

crayfish: feathery gills
spiders/scorpions: booklungs

44
Q

how to tell the sex of a crayfish (looks like lobster)

A

46
Q

key difference between protostome and deuterostome

A

protostome forms mouth from blastopore

deuterostome forms anus from blastopore

47
Q

what is the unique feature to echinoderms

A

their water vascular system that they use for locomotion and grabbing food

48
Q

how do echinoderms hold onto any surface

A

by applying suction with their tube feet

49
Q

what are the defining characteristics of chordates

A
  • presence of notochord (spine like supporting rod)
  • hollow dorsal never cord
  • pharyngeal slits
  • post-anal tail
50
Q

why is the epiglottis important

A

prevents choking by covering the glottis when swallowing

51
Q

name three functions of the liver

A
  • produces bile
  • detoxify drugs and alcohol
  • stores vitamins and minerals
52
Q

what are the functions of small and large intestine

A

large - reabsorption of water and some nutrients and addition of mucous to waste

small - chemical digestion and absorption of nutrients

53
Q

what are the functions of the pancreas

A
  1. production of pancreatic juice
  2. production of hormones for blood sugar regulation
54
Q

what are the functions of the spleen

A
  1. blood storage
  2. phagocytosis of bacteria and worn out RBC
  3. embryological blood formation
55
Q

explain filter feeding

A

water enters sponge body via pores, the flow of the water filters out the small organisms

56
Q

what type of reproduction is in polyp and medusa

A

polyp - asexual
medusa - sexual

57
Q

how does gas exchange occur in platyhelminthes

A

by diffusion across the body surface

58
