what animals must do? - - Mechanism for excreting waste - Mechanism for development and growth - Energy input Disadvantage of multicellularity - Need special cell/cell connections Need for cell/cell communication Need system for distribution of nutrients What traits to animals share? - Eukaryotic, heterotrophic, able to move Why is the fossil record incomplete? - Needs to die near water, fossilization process needs to be in a situation where there's no oxygen present, rapidly covered in...

Name an animal that has neither a circulatory system nor a respiratory system and relies solely on cutaneous diffusion for gas exchange. How is this adequate for its survival? - Small and thin animals, like flatworms and horsehair worm parasites, have no respiratory or circulatory systems and solely rely on cutaneous/cuticle diffusion through water or air. Examples of respiratory structures of aquatic animals - bulk flow (sponges, cnidarians), gills, water vascular system, arborescent respi...

_______________ have a single or multiple solute binding pockets and after solute binding, a reversible conformation movement exposes the solute-binding pocket to the other face of the membrane. - transporters Because of the factors affecting diffusion, H2O will move from an area of higher concentration (low osmolarity) to an area of lower concentration (higher osmolarity) if the cell membrane is permeable to H2O [6.03]. The movement of H2O in this way is a very powerful force, capable of r...

How is filter feeding an example of ecosystem engineering? - helps clarify oceans Oysters in Chesapeake Bay filter the water Disadvantages to Feeding - must have larger mouth and machinery to breakdown food particles requires time so pathway is longer Where is the fuel from food acquired? - chemical bonds energy was used to make bonds, and will be released when it is broken Homeostasis - maintenance of internal environment Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) - amount of energy expended when at res...

During your assessment of a 20-year-old man with a severe headache and nausea, you ask him when his headache began, but he does not answer your question immediately. You should: - allow him time to think about the question and respond to it. You are caring for a semiconscious man with left-sided paralysis. His airway is patent and his respirations are 14 breaths/min with adequate tidal volume. Treatment for this patient should include: - oxygen via a nonrebreathing mask, left lateral recumb...

Aneurysm - The bulging out of an arterial wall at a weak point. Weaknesses in the walls are often created by atherosclerosis. These weak points can burst and cause a person to bleed to death What are symptoms of a heart attack? - Tight/pain in chest, fainting, nauseous, pale, damp skin, change in blood pressure Arteriosclerosis - A disease which results in the hardening of arteries due to thickening and loss of elasticity. Note: It is common mistake to refer to arteriosclerosis as the calci...

motives associated with self-presentation - appearing liable, appearing competent, appearing like you have power/status qualities of a self-monitor - can perceive others' emotions well, can mimic emotions and behaviors, are more comfortable acting inconsistently with their own attitudes, often rise to leadership positions cutting off reflected failure (CORFing) - distancing self from those who make us look bad by association ex: not as vocal about being FSU student after a loss basking ...
