Many insects undergo some degree of change in their body form during development. Associate the following characteristics to complete or incomplete metamorphosis. a. Complete metamorphosis

- has four stages - includes a pupa stage - immatures and adults use different food sources

Many insects undergo some degree of change in their body form during development. Associate the following characteristics to complete or incomplete metamorphosis. b. Incomplete metamorphosis

- has three stages - immatures look like mini adults - immatures are called nymphs

Molecular data suggests that the Lophotrochozoa is a new clade of bilaterally symmetric animals that originally included phyla separated by differences in body plan (those lacking a coelom, possessing a pseudocoelom, or possessing a true coelom). Check all of the phyla that are included under this new taxonomic classification. - Chordata. - Platyhelminthes. - Echinodermata. - Mollusca. - Annelida. - Ctenophora.

-Platyhelminthes - Mollusca - Annelida

Approximately how many animal species have been described so far?

1 million

Place the following steps in the history of animal life on earth in order. Begin with the first event at the top and end with the last event at the bottom. - Appearance of vertebrate animals - The post-cretaceous explosion of mammalian diversity - Appearance of invertebrate animals - Colonization of land - The Cambrian explosion of animal diversity

1. Appearance of invertebrate animals 2. The Cambrian explosion of animal diversity 3. Appearance of vertebrate animals 4. Colonization of land 5. The post-Cretaceous explosion of mammalian diversity

Members of what phylum can be described as such: segmented organisms that have a complete digestive system, a ventral nerve cord, and a coelom that acts as a hydrostatic skeleton?

Annelida

Members of what phylum have compound eyes composed of ommatidia that render a mosaic-like image of the environment?

Arthropoda

Match each phylum listed below with its distinguishing characteristics. a. porfera

Asymmetrical; no true tissues; choanocytes move water through the body wall and trap food particles Asymmetrical; no true tissues; choanocytes move water through the body wall and trap food particles

Match each phylum listed below with its distinguishing characteristics. c. Mollusca

Bilateral symmetry; triploblastic; body plan comprised of a foot, visceral mass, and mantle; some species have a shell for protection Bilateral symmetry; triploblastic; body plan comprised of a foot, visceral mass, and mantle; some species have a shell for protection

In what supergroup are animals classified?

Opisthokonta

With regard to phylogenetic trees based on morphological data and molecular data:

Phylogenies based on molecular data tend to be more accurate

Morphological and developmental features typically used to classify animals into taxonomic groups include: - type of body symmetry, number of germ layers, and mode of reproduction - presence or absence of specialized tissues, mode of nutrition, and internal versus external fertilization and development - unicellularity versus multicellularity, type of body symmetry, and number of germ layers - type of body symmetry, number of germ layers, and features of embryonic development
