What is a zygote?
Phylum of organisms that include birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians, and mammals.
What is Chordata?
Behavior that an animal can perform without prior experience.
What is innate behavior?
What is classical conditioning?
The process in which all animals take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
What is respiration?
A blastopore that forms into a mouth first.
What is a protostome?
Phylum of organisms that include crustaceans, insects, and spiders.
What is Arthropoda?
A behavior that is both innate and learned, where an animal instinctually follows the first moving object they see.
Conditioning where behavior is reinforced or punished.
What is operant conditioning?
What is a response?
The germ layer of animal embryos that forms into muscle, circulatory, reproductive, and excretory systems.
What is mesoderm?
Phylum of organisms that include sea anemones, jellyfish, coral, and hydra.
What is Cnidaria?
Learning that occurs when an animal decreases or stops its response to a repetitive neutral stimulus.
What is habituation?
Adjectives that are used to mean adding or applying, and subtracting or removing. They do not mean "good" or "bad".
What are positive and negative?
The process of eliminating or expelling waste matter (mostly liquid).
What is excretion?

What is Asymmetry, Radial, and Bilateral Symmetry?
Phylum of organisms that include sea sponges.
What is Porifera?
Learning that occurs when an animal observes another doing something and repeats it.
What is observational learning?
In Pavlov's experiment, this was both the conditioned response (CR) and the unconditioned response (UCR).
What is dogs salivating?
A word that refers to an animal that is incapable of moving on its own.
What is sessile?
What is cephalization?
Phylum of organisms that include starfish.
What is Enchinodermata?
Learning that occurs when an animal applies something it has already learned to a new situation.
What is insight learning?
Removing an unpleasant stimulus to increase the probability of a response happening. For example, putting on a seatbelt to make the beeping noise stop.
What is negative reinforcement?
