haploid; diploid
_____, which include lobsters and crabs, have _____ legs and, in the
ocean, fill many of theecological roles filled by insects on land. - correct
answer- Crustaceans; branched
[1] are leaf [2] that allow for moisture and [3] exchange. They are in the
[4], and they are opened and [5] by the [6]. - correct answer-
Stomata, Pores, Gas, Epidermis, Closed, Guard cells
[1] from the air and [2] from the soil plus [3] from the [4] leads to the
production of [5] in the [6] and the release of [7] as a [8] of the reaction.
- correct answer- co2, water, energy, sun, glucose, plant cell, oxygen,
byproduct
[A] is the study of periodic events in an organism's life. - correct
answer- phenology
1 mm - correct answer- 1000um (micrometers)
mm—>um multiply by 1000
,um—>mm divide by 1000
3 main parts of a plant cell - correct answer- chloroplast, vacuole,
cell wall
3 tissue systems of plants - correct answer- dermal, vascular, ground
4 synapomorphies of chordates - correct answer- Notochord, single
dorsal hollow nerve cord, pharyngeal pouches/slits, postanal tail.
5 drivers of evolutionary change - correct answer- gene flow, genetic
drift, mutation, natural selection, sexual selection
9 phyla - correct answer- Porifera, Cnidaria, Rotifera,
Platyhelminthes, Annelida, Mollusca, Nematoda, Arthropoda,
Echinodermata
see cladogram in slides
A _______ is a ciliated larva. - correct answer- Trochophore
A behavior is shaped by: - correct answer- both environmental and
genetic factors
, A behavior starts with [A] which is detected by sensory receptors. Next,
it is evaluated by the central nervous system, a process referred to as
[B]. The central nervous system determines a [C], which is a pattern of
nerve impulses directed by the central nervous system and the sequence
of muscle contractions that are initiated. All behaviors arise via natural
selection and are therefore [D], a benefit to the organism. - correct
answer- [A] stimulus
[B] neural integration
[C] response
[D] adaptive
A bony cranium is a synapomorphy of Chordata. (T/F) - correct answer-
false
A college student walks down New York City's Fifth Avenue at 8:00 AM.
She is late for class so shecatches the bus for the last 2 miles of her
commute. Did she have a larger ecological footprint when shewas
walking or when she was on the bus? - correct answer- More
information is needed about, for example, the number of people on the
bus and its fuelsource, to accurately determine her ecological footprint
in both situations
A complete flower has - correct answer- petals, sepals, stamen,
carpels
