Cells, Symmetry, and Classification
Animals are made of these types of cells.
What are eukaryotic cells?
What do we call an animal with a backbone.
What is a vertebrate?
The only invertebrate that can fly is called this:
What are insects
Long soft-bodied animals with bilateral symmetry.
What are worms?
This type of animal can exchange gases through its moist skin, and can live in water or on land.
What are amphibians?
All vertebrates have vertebrae and skulls and an internal skeleton, known as this:
What is an endoskeleton?
When an imaginary line can be drawn down the middle to divide the object into two mirror-image halves.
What is bilateral symmetry?
What percentage of animals never have a notochord at any point in their lives and never have a bony spinal column (bonus: what are they called?)
What is 95% (bonus: invertebrates)
This type of mollusk is thought to be among the most intelligent of all invertebrate animals:
What is the octopus?
Give two examples from our book of cnidarians which are marine animals that have stinging cells they use to capture their food:
What are jellyfish and anemones
The largest group of fish, including the ones you are most familiar with are called this: (bonus points for giving examples!)
What are bony fish? (bonus: catfish, goldfish, bass, flounder, trout)
This aquatic, ecothermic animal is the single largest group of vertebrate animals:
What are fish
Jellyfish have this type of symmetry.
What is radial symmetry?
If a living animal has feathers, it is called this:
What is a bird (super tricky question, I know)
Animals with no symmetry, no cephalization, and no gut. In the phylum Porifera meaning "pore-bearer.
What are sponges?
Invertebrates are this, which means that they can't regulate their inner body temperatures so their temperatures are controlled by their environment:
What are ectotherms
Salamanders are sensitive to toxins in their surroundings, so they are sometimes looked at as this:
What is an indicator species?
This group of animals has hair and produces milk.
What are mammals?
What is asymmetry?
An animal that can regulate its own body temperature is called this:
What is an endotherm?
Examples of this type of invertebrate includes snails, slugs, octopuses, squids, clams, oysters, and scallops:
What are mollusks?
What are insects
Jaws, Nemo, Hershey, and the missing lizard somewhere in Braxton's house are all classified as this type of animal:
What are vertebrates?
This type of mammal raises their young in pouches. (Ex. kangaroos, koalas, and opossums)
What are marsupials?
Name the five characteristics we use to classify animals:
What are symmetry, heads, guts and body cavities, the presence of a backbone, and temperature control
He was a Christian Creationist who helped to develop our modern classification system:
Who is Carolus Linnaeus...or CL or Carol :)
This type of invertebrate has spiny skins and most have radial symmetry. Examples include sea stars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers:
What are echinoderms?
List the six major groups of invertebrates:
What are sponges, cnidarians, worms, echinoderms, mollusks, and arthropods.
Snakes and lizards shed their skin in a process called this:
What is molting?
List the five major groups of vertebrates:
What are fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals
