Plants & Animals- Biology

Front 1

What was Jane Goodall famous for doing?

Back 1

Jane Goodall worked with chimpanzees and found that they could use insight behavior by applying knowledge.

Front 2

Describe mosses-

Back 2

Mosses have no vasucular tissues, have a dominate generation that is gametophyte, and do not produce seeds.

Front 3

Describe ferns-

Back 3

Ferns do have vascular tissues, has a dominant generation that is sporophyte, and do not produce seeds.

Front 4

Describe gymnospores-

Back 4

Gymnospores do have vascular tissues, have a dominant generation that is sporophyte, and produce seeds in cones.

Front 5

Describe angioperms-

Back 5

Angiosperms have vascular tissues, have a dominant generation that is sporophyte, and produce seeds in flowers.

Front 6

Why do some plants produce fruit? & what are some advantages of fruit-producing plants?

Back 6

Fruits are produced to contain seeds. Some advantages to having fruit are that seeds can get carried further away from the parent plant.

Front 7

What are the differences between a monocot & a dicot?

Back 7

Monocots have one leaf, dicots have two; monocots have parallel veins, & dicots have net-like veins; monocots have scattered vascular tissues, dicots have vascular tissues arranged in rings; monocots are arranged in multiples of three, dicots are arranged in multiples of four or five (flower petals).

Front 8

What is the function of the stomata?

Back 8

The stomata is located on the leaves or petals and it is the sight of transporation.

Front 9

What is the function of the vascular tissues xylem & phlowem?

Back 9

Xylem transports water down the plants and phloem transports sugar & other nutrients down the plant.

Front 10

What is the function of the roots, stems, & leaves of a plant?

Back 10

Roots help to hold water & give the plant nutrients & moisture, stems are used for transporting nutrients throughout the plant & holding the plant sturdy, and leaves are used for photosynthesis and transporation.

Front 11

What is phototropism?

Back 11

Phototropism is growth towards a lights stimulus.

Front 12

What is geotropism?

Back 12

Geotropism is growth towards or away from gravity.

Front 13

What is thigmotropism?

Back 13

Thigmotropism is growth towards a touch stimulus.

Front 14

What are the different types of symmetry in animals?

Back 14

Animals can be bilaterally symmetrical, asymmetrical, or radially symmetrical.

Front 15

In animal development, what are zygotes, blastulas, and gastrulas?

Back 15

Animals produce sexually to form a zygote. Blastulas are then formed after cell division. a blastula is a at is formed early in the fluid filled ball formed early in the developement of an animal embryo. The cells on the outside of the embryo them begin to move inward forming a gastrula. Ectoderms are outer layers of cells on a gastrula. Endoderm is the inner layer of cells on the gastrula.

Front 16

What is the difference between an endoskeleton and an exoskeleton?

Back 16

An endoskeleton is on the inside of an animals body, while an exoskeleton is an outer skeleton on animals like arachnids.

Front 17

What is an endotherm? What is an ectotherm?

Back 17

Endotherms mantain a constant body heat themselves while ectotherms must absorb heat through their skin to mantain body heat.

Front 18

Describe porifera-

Back 18

Porifera are sessile, they are assymetrical, filter feed, and use budding to asexually reproduce. They also can sexually reproduce since they are hermaphrodites.

Front 19

Describe cnidarians-

Back 19

Cnidarians are radially symmetric, and have stinging cells call nemotocyts.

Front 20

Describe mollusca-

Back 20

Mollusca are bilaterally symmetric, have a muscualar foot for movement, produce sexually, get food using a radula, and have hiphridia cells to remove waste. Mollusca also have an open circulatory system.

Front 21

Describe annelida-

Back 21

Annelida are bilaterally symmetrical and move using septae. Annelida are segemented, have a closed circulatory system, and reproduce sexually.

Front 22

Describe arthropoda-

Back 22

Arthrodpoda are bilaterally symmetrical, have jointed appendages, an exoskeleton, use pheromones to communicate, reproduce sexually, and can also use parthenogenisis & metomorphosis.

Front 23

Describe chordata-

Back 23

Chordata are bilaterally symmetric, have a notochord & spinal chord, gill slits, tail, and can learn.

Front 24

Invertebrets vs. Vertebrets-

Back 24

Invertebrets have no backbone or spinal chord while vertebrets do.

Front 25

Overall characteristics of a fish-

Back 25

Fish have gill slits, use external fertilization, have a 2 chambered heart, and lay eggs.

Front 26

Overall chracteristics of reptiles-

Back 26

Reptiles have a 3/4 chambered heart,reproduce on land, use internal fertilization, an amniotic egg, and are ectotherms.

Front 27

Overall characteristics of bird-

Back 27

Birds have feathers, wings that attach to their sternum, an amniotic egg, a four chambered heart, use internal fertilization, hollow bones, and are endotherms.

Front 28

Overall characteristics of an amphibian-

Back 28

Amphibians have thin & moist skin, use external fertilization, are ectotherms, use metamorphosis, and have 3 chambered hearts.

Front 29

Overall characteristics of a mammal-

Back 29

Mammals have hair, nurse their young using mammary glands, a four chambered heart & can learn.

Front 30

List and describe innate animal behaviors-

Back 30

Reflex- automatic response to stimulus
Fight or flight response- Adrenaline preparing for activity
Courtship- behaviors that ensure reproduction
Territorial- protected physical space to cut down competition
Aggresive- anger that leads to Dominant Hierarchy
Circadian rhythm- sleeping pattern, repeats every 24 hours
Migration- seasonal movement behavior
Hibernation- response to extreme cold to conserve energy
Estivation- response to extreme heat to conserve energy
Suckling- natural behavior
Taxis-
a.) phototaxis- positive or negative reponse to light
b.) chemotaxis- positive or negative reponse to chemicals

Habituation- loosing sensitivity to a stimulus
Imprinting- a permanent attatchment formed when an animal is young
Trial & error- brings a reward
Classical conditioning- Pavlov's dogs (adjusting)
Insight- being able to take & apply knowledge
