Geneuis at Work
This is an ancestral species from which modern species have evolved.
What is a common ancestor?
This carbohydrate can be found in the cell walls of fungus.
What is Chitin?
These animals have no body cavity.
What is an Acoelomate?
This phyla has nerves and ganglia, but no circulatory system or gut.
What is Platyhelminthes?
This macromolecule has no monomers.
What is a lipid?
This is a group of organisms that are able to reproduce together and create healthy, fertile offspring.
What is a species?
These are used for asexual reproduction in fungi.
What are spores?
These animals are pseudocoelomates.
What are nematode?
This is the simplest invertebrate with specialized cells and no tissues or organs.
What is porifera?
This macromolecule's monomers are monosaccharides and disaccharides.
What are carbohydrates?
This is genetic variations that give organisms an advantage for survival that are passed down to future generations.
What is natural selection?
This mushroom is made of many twisted together hyphae.
What is mycelium?
This nervous structure controls local areas of the body, usually there are many throughout the body.
What is ganglia?
This phyla is made of coelomates that have nerves, ganglia in each segment, and a brain in their head.
What is Annelida?
This macromolecule's job is long term energy storage.
What are lipids?
This type of adaptation is something an organism physically does.
What is a behavioral adaptation?
These two organisms combine to form a lichen.
What are fungus and algae?
This is important for animals because it allows organisms to find the necessities they need to survive and a way for them to escape from predators.
What is movement?
This phyla are made up of acoelomates that have two body forms, no circulatory system, and a simple nerve net.
What is Cnidaria?
This macromolecule can be found in hair, feathers, muscles, cells, and cell membranes.
What is Protein?
An example of this adaptation is when toxins in creosote causes the soil around them to become uninhabitable to other plants.
What is a chemical adaptation?
This is the name for the mutualistic relationship between the roots of plants and a fungus.
What is mycorrhiza?
This is a toothed tongue that is used by mollusks to scrape food off of surfaces.
What is a radula?
This phyla is made up of pseudocoelomates that have nerves and ganglia, no circulatory system, and a two opening digestive system.
What is Nematoda?
This macromolecule contains all of the instructions to make a cell's protiens.
What are Nucleic Acids?
