Q

Define Regeneration

A

The process of replacing or restoring damaged or missing cells, tissues, organs, and even entire body parts to full function. Asexual reproduction can occur through regeneration. An arm can produce a new organism if a piece of the central disk is still in tact or present. Ex) Echinoderms, Starfish

Q

Define Segmentation

A

Allows for specialization of body regions (development of body systems) and more efficient movement. It is serial repetition of similar organs, tissues, cell types or body cavities along the anterior- posterior (A-P) axis of bilaterally symmetrical animals. Segmentation allows for specialization of body regions (development of body systems) and more efficient movement. Ex) Annelida: Earthworm, Leach

Q

Define Radial Symmetry

A

An organism can be divided equally about a central point, much like a pie cut into equal parts. They can be cut into similar halves by passing a plane at any angle along a central axis. Ex) Echinoderms: Adult Starfish, Sea Urchins, Sand Dollars (Larvae are radially symmetrical)

a) Allows for quicker circulation. It also allows for a highly efficient supply of oxygenated blood to all areas of the body. It is good for animals with high energy needs. Ex) birds and mammals
b) - It protects the fertilized eggs from problems on land such as dehydration
- Limits predatation of young
- gives that specific individual a better chance at survival

A

Advantages: Provided protection for well developed body system
Disadvantages: Must be shed and molted thus limiting their size

36
Q

List three adaptations the parasitic platyhelminthes have made in order to live a parasitic life and explain how they help.

A
  • Can grow up to 50 feet in length: large size allows them to absorb more nutrients from the host
  • don’t have digestive system because the organism they live in already has digested food so they don’t need one: Leaves more room for proglottids (reproductive system)
  • They have a well-developed reproductive system in the form of proglottids. Each one contains both male and female reproductive structures: allows for reproduction within the host.
37
Q

What are the two body types in Cnidarians?

A

Pollyp- sessile, cylindrical, sac like body (Coral and Sea Amemone)
Medusa- motile, bell like form (jellyfish)
