AB
Describe the animals in the arthropoda phylum.invertebrates with segmented bodies, jointed legs, and an exoskeleton - grasshoppers, lobsters, insects, spiders, crabs
Describe the animals in the echinodermata phylum.spiny, leathery-skinned invertebrates - starfish, sand dollars, sea urchins
What are invertebrates?animals without a backbone. Most animals in this category.
What is bilateral symmetry?a type of symmetry where the right and left sides match
What is radial symmetry?the body radiates out in all directions from the center, like the spokes on a wheel - cnidarians - jellyfish, corals, sea anemones
What are tube feet?the sucker-like structures on echinoderms used for movement and obtaining food
What is regeneration?the ability to replace damaged or lost parts - Starfish
What is the pupa stage?the resting stage during complete metamorphosis (cocoon stage)
What is a colony?when social insects live in large groups it is called a _____
Where is the thorax?the middle section of an insect's body
What is a polyp?the vase-shaped form of a cnidarian (tentacles on top - sea anemones)
name some mollusksoysters, squids, octopuses
name some echinodermssand dollars, starfish, sea urchins
name some arthropodsinsects, spiders, crabs
What are sponges?simple pore-bearing animals
What is metamorphosis?the changes during the life cycle (development) of an insect - butterfly
What is an endoskeleton?a skeleton on the inside
number of legsthe way you can tell the difference between an insect and a spider
What are insects?they have three body regions, legs, wings, exoskeleton
What are jointed appendages?structures that grow from the body – jointed legs, claws, pincers, antennae
An arthropod's segmented body consisists of ____head, thorax, abdomen
What is an exoskeleton?skeleton on the outside of body
What is chitin?a hard waterproof surface, an exoskeleton
What is molting?the process of shedding an exoskeleton to make room for growth
What is insecta?the largest class of arthropods
Name some arachnidsspiders, mites, ticks, scorpions
Name some crustaceanslobsters, shrimp, crabs, crayfish
Name some myriapodscentipedes, millipedes
What are insectshave three body regions, three pair of legs (6), antennae, wings
What are spiracles?openings or air tubes for breathing
What is the tympanum?structure under the wings for hearing
What are antennae used for?detect air movement, vibration, smells
What are "simple eyes"?They detect light & dark
What are compound eyes?have many lenses that allow the insect to detect color & movement in all directions at once
What is a mandible?the mouth part for chewing
maxillato push or suck food into the mouth
labiumacts as a lower lip to hold food
social animalslive in colonies - ex. bees
queen beebee that lays eggs
dronebee that fertilizes the eggs
worker beebee that gathers honey and protects the hive
metamorphosischange of body form and appearance
complete metamorphosisfour stages: egg, larva, pupa, adult – moths, beetles, bees, flies
caterpillara larva stage of a butterfly or moth
puparesting stage
cocoona web spun around the pupa
incomplete metamorphosisthree stages: egg, nymph, adult – grasshoppers, lice, crickets
nymphthe young stage resembles the adult stage
Arachnidshave two body parts, four pairs of legs (8), no antennae, poison glands, stingers, or fangs (scorpions, mites, ticks)
Cephalothoraxhead and chest region that are fused together
Abdomenstomach
Book lungsa structure where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged
Crustaceansmust molt their exoskeleton to grow, have one or two antennae, five pairs of legs (10), most live in water, can regenerate, (shrimp, crab, lobster)
What is a myriapod?body is divided into many sections, an exoskeleton, jointed legs, antennae, simple eyes
An invertebrate that is a chilopodscentipedes
An invertebrate that is a diplopodsmillipedes
Describe a centipedehas one pair of legs per body segment, a poison claw, and feeds on prey. Sometimes called the hundred-legged worm.
Describe a millipedehave two pair of legs per segment, feed on plants. Sometimes called the thousand-legged worm.
What does echinodermata“spiny-skinned” – lives on ocean bottom – starfish, sea urchin, sea cucumber, brittle star, sand dollar
What is radial symmetry?the body radiates out in all directions from the center, like the spokes on a wheel
What is an echinoderm's rayarm
What are tube feet?feet that act like suction cups to move about
What is a water vascular system?a series of water-filled canals that moves in and out of the tube feet that allows the ecdhinodermata to move about
Which invertebrates can regenerate body parts?crustaceans,sea stars, sea cucumbers, sponges
