Animal Basics
These Organisms are multicellular & Eukaryotic
What are animals?
This symmetry means the body is arranged around a central axis
What is radial symmetry?
This phylum lacks true tissues and includes sponges.
What is Porifera?
The study of interactions between organisms and their environment.
What is ecology?
This interaction harms both species.
What is competition?
This levle of organization is a group of similar cells working together
What are tissues?
This symmetry allows for cephalization and directional movement.
What is bilateral symmetry
These animals use stinging cells called nematocysts.
What are cnidarians?
A group of the same species living in one area.
What is a population?
This interaction benefits one species and harms the other.
What is predation (or parasitism)?
This systen allows animals to respond to stimuli quickly
What is the nervous system?
The embryonic layer becomes muscles and internal organs.
What is the mesoderm?
These organisms use sticky cells instead of stinging cells.
What are ctenophores?
All living and nonliving components in an area.
What is an ecosystem?
This interaction benefits both species.
What is mutualism?
These are goups of tissues that perform a specific function
What are organs?
In these animals, the blastophore becomes the mouth.
What are protostomes?
This sponge cell type moves water and captures food.
What are choanocytes?
Long-term patterns of temperature and precipitation.
What is climate?
This interaction benefits one species and does not affect the other.
What is commensalism?
This kingdom includes all animals
What is Kingdom Animalia?
Animals with a true body cavity fully lined with mesoderm are called this.
What are coelomates?
This group includes jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones.
What is Cnidaria?
A large region defined by climate and dominant vegetation.
What is a biome?
A close, long-term interaction between species.
What is symbiosis?
