This type of animal eats only plants
Herbivore
Has a backbone
Vertebrate
Name the steps of a butterfly's complete metamorphosis
egg, larva, pupa/chrysalis, adult
This phylum gets food from ocean water flowing from its body
sponges
FALSE! invertebrates have exoskeletons, silly!
This type of animal eats only meat
Carnivore
Name 2 warm blooded Phyla of animals
Mammals, birds
Which of these is not an arthropod:
shrimp, spiders, earthworms, ticks, grasshoppers, millipedes
Earthworms - those are annelids (aka segmented words) because they have body segments and move using setae (those hairlike structures that make them move)
Stinging organelles that help the jellyfish-containing phylum Cnidaria capture food are called...
nematocysts
annelids
setae
nematocysts
Name an animal that eats by scooping tiny creatures from the water (filter feeders)
baleen whales, like the blue whale
This type of animal eats both plants and animals
Omnivore
Name 3 cold blooded phyla of animals
Amphibians
Reptiles
Fish
Why is a spider classified as an arachnid and not as an insect? Specifically dealing with body structure...
Insects have 3 body segments and 6 legs
Spiders have 2 body segments and 8 legs
Which of these animals is not a mollusk:
clam, scallop, oyster, squid, octopus, snail, slug, coral
Coral - those are Cnidaria and use stinging nematocysts to catch their prey
Coral do not have a mantle that sometimes forms a shell, unlike the other mollusks
Why are amphibians called living indicators?
Their thin skin makes them sensitive to environmental changes, especially polution in the water or air
This type of animal eats only insects
Insectivore
This type of animal can grow larger: vertebrate or invertebrate
Explain why
Vertebrates - the structure of the backbone and skeleton allows the animal to have more support and be bigger
An arthropod with 5 pairs of legs and a claw (often living in the ocean) is...
crustaceans
roundworm, flatworm, segmented worms
Characteristics:
- symmetrical on each end and can be either free living or parasites
- smooth and round on outside, usually parasites
- many segments and use setae to grip the ground and move
Roundworms: round and smooth, usually parasites
Flatworms: symmetrical on each end (bilateral symmetry) and can either be free living or parasites
Segmented worms: made of many segments and move using setae
What is a monotreme?
This type of human diet does not eat animal products of any type, even the honey bees produce or the milk made by cows or goats
Vegan
No - they need heat to maintain their body temperatures, and polar regions will not enable them to generate enough heat during harsh conditions
This creepy crawly centurion has many body segments and many, many, many legs
centepede
Animals in this phylum have radial symmetry (symmetrical around the center point of the animal) and tube-like feet
echinoderms - like starfish and sea urchins
Sound waves bounce off the suspected food/prey, and the animal uses the distance the waves travel to determine how close the food is.
Bats and dolphins use echolocation
