insects, jellyfish,worms

Front 5

What characteristic do all animals share

Back 5

they have a multicellular makeup

Front 6

multicellular

Back 6

made of many cells

Front 7

animal cells are eukaryotic which means

Back 7

they have a nucleus, no cell wal but cell membranes

Front 8

sexual reproduction

Back 8

almost all animals reproduce sexually by producing egg or sperm

Front 9

when egg and sperm join during fertilizaion

Back 9

they form first cell of new organism

Front 10

first cell divides into many cells to form an

Back 10

embryo

Front 11

few animals reproduce by budding

Back 11

when a part of an organism drops off and forms a new organism

Front 12

differentation

Back 12

when cells develop into different kinds of cells (skin, muscle, nerve, etc)

Front 13

most animals have organ. organs are

Back 13

a group of tissues that carry out a special function of the body.(heart, lungs, kidneys, etc)

Front 14

Animals move from place to place to find

Back 14

food

Front 15

Animals are consumers which means they cannot produce they cannot produce their own food. consumers is

Back 15

an organism that eats other organisms

Front 16

five characteristics that separate animals from other organisms

Back 16

multicellular makeup, reproduce sexually,have specialized parts, move to get food, they are consumers

Front 17

innate behavior

Back 17

inherited through the genes
some show at birth and others show after time

Front 18

learned behavior

Back 18

learned from experience or from watching other animals

Front 19

to survive animals must

Back 19

find food,mark territory nadbe defensive,

special behaviors animals use to help them find a mate

Front 25

one seasonal behavior is

Back 25

migration

to travel from one place to another

Front 27

animals use what to find their way when migrating?

Back 27

landmarks

Front 28

hibernation

Back 28

a period of inactivity and decreased body temperature

Front 29

animals hibernate because

Back 29

it helps them cope with food and water shortages

Front 30

during hibernation they survive on

Back 30

stored body fat

Front 31

a period of reduced activity in summer is called

Back 31

estivation

Front 32

the internal control of an animals natural cycle is called

Back 32

biological clock

Front 33

clues animal use may be

Back 33

legnth of day or temperature to set their clocks

Front 34

daily cycles are called

Back 34

circadain rythms (example waking and getting sleepy at the same time each day)

Front 35

long cycles are

Back 35

seasonal cycles(hibernating at certain time of year, or reproducig at certain time)

Front 36

communication

Back 36

a transfer of a signal or message from one animal to another that results in some type of response

Front 37

social behavior

Back 37

the interaction between animals of the same species

Front 38

animals communicate through

Back 38

sound, touch, chemicals ,sight (body language)

Front 39

chemicals used to communicate are called

Back 39

pheromones

Front 40

benefits of living together

Back 40

safer and easier to get food

Front 41

negative to living in group

Back 41

must compete for food and mates, also groups attract predators and disease can spread more easily
