Unit 1
The evolutionary process sometimes described as "survival and reproduction of the fittest".
What is natural selection?
Prokaryotes lack a nucleus and these related structures (e.g. endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria).
What are membrane-bound organelles.
Plants and other autotrophs use this process to make food from the energy of sunlight.
What is photosynthesis?
These radially symmetrical invertebrates love the time 10:04.
What are comb jellies?
This word for an aquatic class of vertebrates is surprisingly legit to use as a scientific plural term.
What is Fishes?
Along with Charles Darwin, this individual came up with the mechanism of natural selection for evolution.
Who is Alfred Russell Wallace?
What are extremophiles?
This type of vascular tissue in plants translocates water from the roots to the leaves.
What is xylem?
These early invertebrate animals are asymmetrical, sessile filter feeders.
What are sponges?
This mammal is also the largest animal to ever exist on earth.
What is the blue whale?
This word refers to ensuring that you have multiple trials and/or test subjects in any well-designed experiment.
What is replication?
These types of protists can utilize both photosynthesis and "eat" food.
What are mixotrophs?
Nicotine, caffeine, and other chemicals used by humans are these types of "natural pesticides" produced by plants.
What are secondary compounds?
Invertebrates in this Phylum have a jointed exoskeleton, and include insects, spiders, and crustaceans.
What is Arthropoda?
These non-vertebrate Chordates resemble fish as larvae and sponges as adults.
What are tunicates?
Cephalopod and vertebrate eyes are similar but evolved separately, thus are known as this type of structure.
What is analagous?
Protists and Fungi belong to this Domain of life (spell it correctly!)
What is Eukarya?
These are organisms which feed on plants and generally cause them harm.
What are herbivores?
This is the common name for members of the Phylum Tardigrada.
What are water bears?
This marsupial is the only member of the group to live outside of the region surrounding Australia.
What is the opossum?
According to some scientists, phylogenetics would place birds into this class instead of Class Aves.
What is Reptilia?
Unlike animals who digest food internally, fungi digest food externally followed by this activity.
What is absorption?
Echinoderms, Vertebrates, and possibly Bryozoans belong to this group of animals.
What are deuterostomes?
Cephalopods, snails, clams, and chitons belong to this invertebrate Phylum.
What is Mollusca?
Monotremes include the duck billed platypus and this creature.
What is an echidna?
