Download Exam 2 Student Learning Objectives

Student Learning Objectives: Animal Strategies
1. What are the three main embryonic tissue types and what organs and organ systems
develop from each embryonic layer?
2. In general, what are the function/structure and differences of the organ systems found
in various animals?
3. How are body plans used to classify animals into the various grades by a traditional
method using anatomical evidence, tissues presents, body symmetry, body cavities, and
developmental patterns?
4. How is body plan used to classify animals by a molecular method and what is the
evidence to support this idea?
5. How are the various animal phyla divided or what characteristics are used to identify
each group?
6. Which organisms fit into which animal category or phyla?
Student Learning Objectives: Nutrition
1. What is the definition of nutrition and what some reasons why animals need to eat?
2. What processes and factors are considered when discussing metabolism?
3. What is the difference between a BMR and an SMR?
4. How do the BMR and SMR apply to energy budgeting in animals?
5. How is hunger controlled in mammals?
6. What is the definition of a diet?
7. What are the categories of the essential nutrients and how are the divided into groups?
8. What role do the various vitamins and minerals play in metabolism?
9. How are animals divided by their strategies of ingestion versus mechanisms of ingestion?
Student Learning Objectives: Digestion
1. What are the basic processes of digestion?
2. What are the basic parts of a digestive system?
3. What are the stages in the development of a digestive system as seen through the
animal phyla?
4. How do the Poriferans, Cnidarians, and Platyhelminthes handle digestion?
5. How do Nematodes thru Chordates handle digestion?
6. Concerning mammalian digestion, what are the sections of the G.I. tract and their
individual roles (functions) in digestion?
7. What role do the salivary glands, stomach glands, liver/gall bladder, and pancreas play in
aiding digestion in mammals?
8. Trace a nutrient molecule from ingestion through to absorption into the body by sites of
breakdown, molecule absorbed, and mechanism of absorption.
9. How can the cephalic and gastric phases of digestion be distinguished?
10. Compare dentition and tubular divisions to distinguish various vertebrates?
