Life Activity
Cell Respiration |
Life Activity:
occurs inside each cell, cells add O2 to food to get the chemical energy out of the food |
|
Life Activity
Transport |
Life Activity:
How an organism moves materials (food, oxygen,CO2) around inside its body (to and away from its cells). |
|
Life Activity
Locomotion |
Life Activity
How an animal moves its body from place to place |
|
1. vertebrate
|
animal with bones inside its body,
(have backbones (vertbrae) covering spinal cord) only 5% of all animals |
|
24. anterior end
|
head end of an animal
(where the brain would be) |
|
12. sexual reproduction
|
2 parents produce an offspring that is a mixture of both parent's characteristics
(egg fertilized by sperm forming a zygote (fertilized egg) that has chromosomes from both parents) egg + sperm --> zygote |
|
2. invertebrate
|
animals with no bones, 95% of all animals
(often have protective shells or hard outside exoskeleton) |
|
25. posterior end
|
tail end or rear end
(usually where anus is) |
|
9. asexual reproduction
|
ONE parent produces offspring that are identical
to the parent (one example is budding) |
|
21. system
|
a group of several organs working together to perform a life activity
(Examples: digestive, circulatory, nervous) |
|

|
3. phylum
|
The Animal kingdom is separated into 9
large groups called? (each of these groups contains animals with similar characteristics) |
|
18. bilateral symmetry
|
body plan of animals who have paired body structures arranged on 2 equal sides (left and right)
(Example animals are butterfly and human) |
|
Life Activity
Ingestion and Digestion |
Life activity
How an animal eats and breaks down food into small molecules |
|
19. tissue
|
a layer of ONE kind of cells that work together to do a certain job for an organism
(examples would be many nerve cells toegther or many muscle cells together) |
|
15. egg

|
|
Life Activity
Reproduction |
Life Activity
How an animal makes offspring |
|
20. organ
|
a body part made up of several different kinds of tissues all working together to do a certain job
(examples: nerve cord, brain, heart, intestine) |
|
Life Activity
