24
Q

What are the three reproductive strategies?

A

Oviparity, ovoviviparity, and viviparity

25
Q

What is oviparity?

A

The eggs are laid

26
Q

What is ovoviviparity?

A

internal fertilization , embryo receives nutrients from egg, born live

27
Q

What is viviparity?

A

internal fertilization, embryo receives nutrients directly from the mother, born live

28
Q

What kind of egg do fish produce?

A

Anamniotic egg

29
Q

What is an anamniotic egg?

A

Laid in water, permeable, gas exchange

30
Q

What kind of sensory structures do fish have?

A

Central nervous system, otoliths, lateral lines, eyes, olfactory system (nares)

31
Q

What do otoliths do for fish?

A

For hearing

32
Q

What do lateral lines do for fish?

A

Detect vibrations in the water

33
Q

What kind of digestion do fish have?

34
Q

What help fish with locomotion?

A

Paired fins, specialized organs for buoyancy fins, specialized organs for buoyancy

35
Q

What do fish use paired fins for?

A

Stability and movement

36
Q

What do fish use swim bladders for?

37
Q

How do sharks regulate buoyancy?

A

with their livers

38
Q

What do fish excrete?

A

ammonia (needs to be diluted with lots of water - highly toxic but doesn’t require a lot to energy to produce)

39
Q

What organisms are found in the subphylum cephalochordata?

40
Q

How do cephalochordata respire?

41
Q

What is apart of a cephalochordata’s nervous system?

A

dorsal, hollow nerve cord

42
Q

What kind of support does a cephalochordata have?

A

endoskeleton

43
Q

What kind of support does a cephalochordata have?

A

endoskeleton

44
Q

How do cephalochordata reproduce?

A

external fertilization - dioecious

45
Q

How do cephalochordata get food?

A

Filter feeding

46
Q

What kind of heart does a cephalochordata have?

A

Ventral heart

47
Q

Do cephalochordata have all five chordata characteristics?

48
Q

What kind of organisms are found in subphylum urochordata?

49
Q

Are urochordata motile or sessile?

50
Q

What is apart of a urochordata’s nervous system?

A

dorsal, hollow nerve cord

51
Q

What kind of support does a urochordata have?

A

nonliving ‘skeleton’ that contains cellulose

52
Q

How do urochordata reproduce?

A

internal and external fertilization, dioecious

53
Q

How do urochordata digest?

A

filter feeding

54
Q

What kind of circulation do urochordata have?

55
Q

How do urochordata respire?

56
Q

Do urochordata have all five chordate characteristics?

A

larva do, adults lack a tail, dorsal hollow nerve cord, and notochord

57
Q

What are the five characteristics of chordates?

A

Dorsal, hollow nerve cord; post-anal tail; notochord; pharyngeal gill slits; endostyle

58
Q

What are some structures unique to fish that allow them to live in aquatic environments/

A

gills w/ counter-current exchange; swim bladders; protrusible jaws; a fine-tuned excretory system

59
Q

How does counter-current exchange work?

A

blood flow goes against the H2O flow
