Three defining traits of Kingdom Animalia (the Animals)
What is locomotion (ability to move), multicellular (is made up of more than one cell), and breathe oxygen?
Three characteristics of Subphylum Crustacea
What are three body segments (may be fused in a single carapace), an open circulatory system, and an exoskeleton for body support?
Sea Stars, Sea Urchins, and Sea Cucumbers are all members of this animal group.
What is Echinodermata?
Members of Phylum Chordata possess this anatomical (body) structure in common, in at least one part of their life cycle.
What is a Notochord?
Members of Phylum Amphibia possess these three characteristics
What is semipermeable skin, undergo metamorphosis, and require water to reproduce?
The three essential abilities of animals
What is handling changes in temperature, finding food, and observing the world around them?
The reason ants typically separate out the pupa and older larvae from the eggs and smaller larvae.
What is pupa and older, larger larvae require different levels of humidity and temperature to develop quickly compared to younger larvae?
Sea Stars, Sea Urchins, and Sea Cucumbers all possess these two physical traits.
What is Five-Point Radial Symmetry and tube feet?
The method by which sea squirts eat.
What is filter feeding?
Fish such as Salmon, Goldfish, Bettas, and Tuna are part of this group.
What is Bony Fish?
The reason hamsters, even ones raised as pets, instinctively fear movement from above them.
What is fear of predators?
Subphylum Myriapoda consists of these animals.
What is Millipedes and Centipedes?
The way tube feet of Sea Stars are powered.
What is Pneumatic Pumps?
Tunicates are different from other sessile animals such as Sponges in this way.
What is Tunicates possess distinct organs and possess a notochord when in a larval state.
Fish such as Sharks, Rays, and Skates are part of this group.
What is Cartilage Fish?
The species name of the ant colony we observed in class.
What is pogonomyrmex barbatus?
Order Xiphosura consists of these animals.
What are Horseshoe Crabs?
The way Tardigrades survive hostile and severe changes in their environment.
What is they go into a cryptobiotic state, called a tun?
The definition of Sessile
What is, unable to move on its own?

What are Ray Fins?
The definition of presupposition.
What is a statement of fact that is held as true in itself and forms the foundation of how we view and interpret the world?
Order Pantopoda consists of these animals.
What are Sea Spiders?
Tardigrades typically eat these two types of food.
What is Algae and small organisms.
All members of the subphylum possess these anatomical (body) structures.
What is Vertebrae?
The Cartilage fish lack this structure present in bony fish.
What is a Swim Bladder?
