Leaf and Plant Function
This process is the loss of water vapor from plant leaves.
What is transpiration?
This earthworm structure stores food.
What is the crop?
Arthropods have this hard outer covering.
What is an exoskeleton?
Most fish breathe using these organs.
What are gills?
Amphibians usually have this type of skin.
What is moist skin?
Birds are classified in this class.
What is Aves?
Stomata are often found on the underside of leaves to reduce this.
What is water loss?
This earthworm structure grinds food.
What is the gizzard?
Arthropods are named for these body structures.
What are jointed appendages?
This fish structure senses vibrations in the water.
What is the lateral line system?
Frogs and toads belong to this amphibian order.
What is Anura?
This bird trait helps with flight and insulation.
What are feathers?
Higher wind speed usually causes transpiration to do this.
What is increase?
These earthworm structures help pump blood.
What are aortic arches?
Insects exchange gases through these openings.
What are spiracles?
This structure covers and protects the gills in most bony fish.
What is the operculum?
This process describes the change from tadpole to adult frog.
What is metamorphosis?
Mammals are unique because they have these glands that produce milk.
What are mammary glands?
This leaf layer contains many cells specialized for photosynthesis.
What is palisade mesophyll?
This reproductive band is visible on many earthworms.
What is the clitellum?
Adult echinoderms usually have this type of symmetry.
What is radial symmetry?
Sharks have skeletons made mostly of this material.
What is cartilage?
This egg allowed vertebrates to reproduce more successfully on land.
What is the amniotic egg?
These mammal teeth are used for stabbing, holding, or tearing food.
What are canines?
This structure in a leaf contains both xylem and phloem.
What is the vascular bundle?
This clam structure is used for burrowing.
What is the foot?
Tube feet move using this type of pressure.
What is hydraulic pressure?
Sharks detect electrical signals using these structures.
What are ampullae of Lorenzini?
Reptiles are more independent from water partly because they have dry skin and this type of egg.
What is an amniotic egg?
This mammal muscle helps with breathing.
What is the diaphragm?
