Mechanical (response to touch or pressure) TERM 2
DEFINITION 2 A chemosensor, also known as chemoreceptor, is a sensory receptor that transduces a chemical signal into an action potential. TERM 3
DEFINITION 3 (response to photons) TERM 4
DEFINITION 4 (respond to temperatures in certain thermal ranges) TERM 5
DEFINITION 5 (electromagnetic radiation/fields) : Energy-related
(pain): require a greater stimulous to create a response, higher threshold TERM 7
DEFINITION 7 Cephalopods, have a camera eye, and a TRUE BRAIN, ganglia concentration, and giant motor axons (help it move EXTREMELY fast) TERM 8
DEFINITION 8 After integration signals are sent from the nervous center to an effector, usually a muscle or a gland cell (hormones), initiates a response to the perceived stimuli TERM 9
DEFINITION 9 Sensory Neurons: information from a sensory receptor Motor Neurons: Transfers signals to effectors Interneurons: intermediate between sensory and motor neurons TERM 10
DEFINITION 10 Posses nerve-net, transmission emanates from a point and spreads through the nerves. some have cnidocytes
It can make the host act in a way that best benifits the parasite. (think drowning grasshopper and nematodes) TERM 17
DEFINITION 17 shows how neuron types work together. relatively short response that begins with a stimulus, moves through a pathway, initiates some sort of response TERM 18
DEFINITION 18 because the general pathway of stimulus and response is similar. the brain is the dominant sensory area TERM 19
DEFINITION 19 Animals can move, whereas plants remain stationary Determinant growth in animals and regeneration constraints TERM 20
DEFINITION 20 Physical adaptions: external modification Chemical adaptions: direct production of defense chemicals, cascades that initiate defense responses symbioses: can help with defense
Behavioral Physical Chemical TERM 22
DEFINITION 22 Escape movement (short term/local scale) Migration (Long term/regional scale) Anti-Predator Responses (herding/schooling) Anti-Parasite Responses (higher temp environments) Anting (birds) Grooming TERM 23
DEFINITION 23 (Modifications) Exterior: Hair (quills/spines) Armor (bone, scales) Morphology (Camo, mimeses, mimicry) TERM 24
DEFINITION 24 Venom, Poison, Noxious substances TERM 25
DEFINITION 25 Spines: Modified Leaves (cacti) Thorns: Modified Stems (located on a node) (hawthorn) Prickles: Outgrowth of cortex and epidermis (rose) Trichomes: extensions of epidermal hairs
The life history of an organism is the pattern of resource allocation that an organism exhibits during its life time TERM 32
DEFINITION 32 optimization of clutch sizes in birds. selection is expected to favor the clutch size that produces the most surviving offspring TERM 33
DEFINITION 33 Cause a co-evolution, predator develops means of prey defense, then the prey builds back up its defense (ARMS RACE) BITCHES TERM 34
DEFINITION 34 Small, short-lived, early maturing, many progeny, small progeny TERM 35
DEFINITION 35 larger sizes, long-lived, late maturing, fewer progeny, larger sized offspring, parental care
producing a lot of offspring in a single events TERM 37
DEFINITION 37 adults produce offsping over many years TERM 38
DEFINITION 38 External Fertilization (mass) Internal Fertilization (sperm close to egg) Self-Fertilization (hermaphroditic animals only) TERM 39
DEFINITION 39 binary fission (Bacteria Protists) mitosis (Protists) budding (Bacteria, Protists, Yeast) fragmentation (Sponges) regeneration (Echinoderms) parthenogenesis (cloning, virgin birth, some fishes do this) TERM 40
DEFINITION 40 Have to keep developing as quickly as possible to keep ahead of parasites, predators, and other hazardous organisms
SPERM complete to fertilize an egg TERM 47
DEFINITION 47 female chooses who they breed with TERM 48
DEFINITION 48 male multiple partners TERM 49
DEFINITION 49 female multiple partners TERM 50
DEFINITION 50 female becomes male
male becomes a female TERM 52
DEFINITION 52 both sexes at same time TERM 53
DEFINITION 53 start as one become another TERM 54
DEFINITION 54 imitation of particular objects in the environment; TERM 55
DEFINITION 55 mimicking a species that is distasteful, poisonous
get the nutrition from living organisms, harming the host TERM 62
DEFINITION 62 interaction between species TERM 63
DEFINITION 63 get their mutual nutrition from living organisms both organisms benefit TERM 64
DEFINITION 64 neither organism benefits migration TERM 65
DEFINITION 65 predation describes a biological interaction where a predator (an organism that is hunting) feeds on its prey, (the organism that is attacked).
symbiosis requires each other cooperation is in the same species, and more of a defense mechanism TERM 67
DEFINITION 67 they get big! toxic, TERM 68
DEFINITION 68 something that lives off another organism for its own benefit TERM 69
DEFINITION 69 leading cause of death and morbidity, regulate populations TERM 70
DEFINITION 70 No, if being deadly to the hosts helps them spread they will continue to KILL
