Animals and Insects
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?
Suitable water sources for plants in this group include:
What are distilled water, rainwater, and reverse osmosis filtered water?
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?
All non-vascular plants lack these two structures.
What is, Xylem and Phloem?
The three essential abilities of animals
What is handling changes in temperature, finding food, and observing the world around them?
Plants in this category catch insects for this purpose.
What is obtaining nutrients?
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?
The method of reproduction typically used by Mosses
What are Spores?
The reason hamsters, even ones raised as pets, instinctively fear movement from above them.
What is fear of predators?
Pitchers should only be trimmed when:
What is, the pitcher has turned entirely brown?
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.
The two lifeforms that combine to form what we call a Lichen.
What are Fungus and Algae?
The species name of the ant colony we observed in class.
What is pogonomyrmex barbatus?
A way that prey are attracted to the rim of the pitcher plant.
What is sweet-smelling fluid?
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?
While not ideal, Mosses can endure this kind of harsh environment on a temporary basis.
What are dry conditions?
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?
The way insects are prevented from escaping the pitcher plant.
What are Downward Pointing Hairs?
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?
Kelp is comprised of these three structures.
What are Blades, Stipe, and Holdfast?
