Examples of Porifera, Cnidarians, Platyhelmithes, & Nematoda
How do they reproduce?
Symmetry
Worms are more complex than Porifera and Cnidarians
Explain what are the dorsal, ventral, anterior and posterior parts of an organism.
A planarian belongs to a group of flatworms called Platyhelminthes.
An Ascaris is a Roundworm that is a parasite.
What is a pseudocoelom vs a coelom
# of openings each phylum has




What is an example of Annelida?
Know the difference and an example of Hirudinea, Polychaeta, Oligochaeta
Worms have bilateral symmetry
Flatworms do not have a body cavity, but roundworms and segmented worms do.
 What are the segments for in an earthworm?
 How do they feed, move, reproduce?
 Know the worm structures from the dissection

Give the three classes of Mollusks
Give examples of the above three groups
The mantle produces what?
Gastropods are univalves that have one or no shell
Bivalves are two shelled mollusks
Cephalopod is the advanced mollusk that has no shell or one shell. Its name means what?
Know examples of the above three




Echinodermata means spiney skinned. They include what organisms?
They have radial symmetry, internal skeleton, and central disk.
Know the parts of the starfish. This will be part of the Lab Practical
Know how water moves through the water vascular system

Arthropods are jointed-legged animals
They are the most numerous group of animals on earth!
Know examples of each: Insecta, Arachnida, Diplopoda, Chilopoda, Crustacea, Merostomata
ExoskeletonArachnids have 8 legs, 4 other appendages, 2 main body parts
Crustaceans have two main body parts, antennae, gills to breath (usually), and 5 pairs of appendages
Insects have three main body parts, three pairs of walking legs, wings (usually), 1pr antennae
They use chemicals, sounds, and visuals to communicate.
Centipedes have a painful bite, one pair of legs per segment
Millipedes are harmless because they eat dead things and plants, and they have two pairs of legs per segment.
 Know the differences in the classes of chordates
Know examples of each group.
Your test will be multiple choice, matching, labeling, etc….You will have a lab portion on the same day. Bring a PENCIL to the test.
You will take the written portion and the lab portion and must remain quiet until everyone is finished. BRING A BOOK OR
SOMETHING QUIET TO DO. THERE WILL NOT BE CARD PLAYING IN MY ROOM. THERE WILL NOT BE ANY PASSES
GIVEN DURING THE EXAM. USE THE RESTROOM BEFORE EXAMS!
THE LAB PORTIONS
The lab portion will include specimen images, dissection images, microscope work, and anything that may be in your lab journal.
You will be able to utilize YOUR lab journal on the exam. I will check the journals and you are not to have other people’s work photo
copied into your journal. You will NOT be able to use the 3 * 5 card on this portion and you will not be able to use the lab journal on
the written portion. Typically, the lab portion is about 20% of the test.
Possible Lab Practical Topics- (not limited to these, but here’s a good idea)
--Plant vs Animal cells
--Cell structures
--Bacteria lab
--Mitosis cells
--Electrophoresis
--Butterfly larva
--Animal kingdom examples- any of the specimens put out
---Earthworm Dissection
--Sea Star Dissection
--Frog Dissection
