BIOLOGY 1010 EXAM 3
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2026
- 2027
Can diploblasts be classified as either protostome or
deuterostome?
no only triploblasts
What is monoecious?
one organism has both male and female reproductive structures
What is parthenogenesis?
the development of an egg into an embryo without fertilization
(females can lay viable eggs without sperm)
What is a chordate?
An animal with a notochord
What is a notochord?
a flexible, rod-shaped structure that supports the body of a developing
chordate
What is tail autonomy?
Defense mechanism in lizards, in which a part of their tail is left
behind to distract predators.
What is bubble sucking?
how tadpoles and small aquatic animals (that breathe air) get oxygen
What is a macrophage in the immune system?
, A large white blood cell that can ingest and destroy pathogens and
cells
What is a pathogen
A microorganism that causes disease
What is the innate immune system?
first line of defense, attacks generic classes of pathogens
What is the adaptive immune system?
specific defense; often through learned response
What is the complement system?
serum proteins produced by the liver that assist the immune system in
destroying microbes
What are antigens?
foreign molecules that trigger the generation of antibodies
What are cytokines?
small proteins that are crucial in controlling the growth and activity of
other immune system cells and blood cells (leads to inflammation and
fever)
What are memory cells?
Cells that remember a specific antigen so that if it returns, the body
can quickly respond
What are Cytotoxic T cells?
T lymphocytes that hunt down and destroy cells that have been tagged
with a specific antigen.
What are B cells?
immune system cells that produce antibodies
