Chapter 30: Comparing Invertebrates pp. 652-673F. Chapter 31: Amphibian pp. 692-701G. Chapter 33: Mammals pp. 736-755H. Chapter 36: Comparing Vertebrates pp. 784-803

Learning Outcomes:

It is expected that students will:

analyse how the increasing complexity of animal phyla represents an evolutionary continuum

analyse the increasing complexity of the Phylum Porifera & the Phylum Cnidaria analyse the increasing complexity of the Phylum Platyhelminthes, the Phylum

Nematoda, & the Phylum Annelida analyse the increasing complexity of the Phylum Mollusca, the Phylum

Echinodermata, & the Phylum Arthropoda relate the complexity of the form & function of vertebrates to the evolutionary

continuum of animals

Knowledge:

• trends of increasing complexity in animal lifeforms• characteristics of Phylum Porifera, Phylum Cnidaria, Phylum Platyhelminthes, Phylum Nematoda, Phylum Annelida, Phylum Mollusca, Phylum Echinodermata, Phylum Arthropoda, and Subphylum Vertebrata (Phylum Chordata)• how animals in each phylum carry out their life functions• ecological significance of various animal phyla

Vocabulary:

asexual reproduction, cell, cephalization, closed circulatory system, coelom, colonial, fluid feeding, endoskeleton, excretion, exoskeleton, filter feeding, free-living, internal transport, invertebrates, levels of organization, life functions, medusa, motility, motility/motile, multicellular, niche, open circulatory system, organ, organ system, parasite/parasitic, polyp, reproduction, respiration, response, sessile, sexual reproduction, symmetry, tissue, vertebral column
