Types of Feeders
Organism that feeds on plants
What is a Herbivore?
Hollow muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body.
What is a heart?
A poisonous nitrogenous waste, either converted into other nitrogen compounds or excreted, strong alkaline solution (NH3).
What is ammonia?
Organ of excretion that separates wastes and excess water from the blood.
What is a kidney?
Parasites that feed on tissue and blood of host.
What are parasitic symbionts?
Organism that feeds on plants AND animals
What are Omnivores?
Blood is only partially contained within a system of blood vessels as it travels through the body.
What is an open circulatory system?
Process by which metabolic wastes are eliminated from the body.
What is excretion?
Respiratory organ; the place where gases are exchanged between blood and inhaled air.
What is a lung?
Two organisms that maintain a beneficial relationship toward each other.
What are mutualistic symbionts?
Organism that feeds on animals
What are carnivores?
Blood circulates entirely within blood vessels that extend throughout the body.
What is a closed circulatory system?
The conversion of ammonia into this substance for excretion which is less toxic and less water soluble; birds/insects/reptiles.
What is uric acid?
Hollow muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body.
What is a heart?
Digestive chamber with a single opening that ingests food and expels waste.
What is the Gastrovascular cavity?
Organism that uses a modified filter to obtain food.
What are Filter Feeders?
Type of circulation where vertebrates with gills have a single pump that forces blood around the body in one direction.
What is a single loop circulation?
Conversion of ammonia into this and excreted through urine; it is less toxic, more water soluble, mammals/amphibians
What is urea?
4 different terrestrial invertebrate respiratory structures.
What are skin, mantle cavities, book lungs, tracheal tubes?
These animals respire by breathing and holding breath underwater.
How do aquatic reptiles and mammals carry out respiration?
Organism that feeds on decaying plants and animals.
What are Detritivores?
Type of circulation where vertebrates with lungs have a double pump that forces blood around the body in two directions.
What is a double loop circulation?
Organisms that allow ammonia to diffuse out of their bodies into surrounding water, which dilutes the ammonia and carries it away.
How do aquatic animals carry out excretion?
Feathery structures specialized for the exchange of gases with water.
What are gills?
These animals exchange gases through gills.
What are aquatic animals?
