b) What is the term for the species that have 3 germ layers is diploblastic?
Answer: both false
Question 4

B) Transformation
C) Conjugations
D) Mutation

E) Meiosis
ANSWER: e) meiosis
Question 5

a) _________ is a lack of a body cavity between the digestive cavity and the outer body wall?
b) ___________ is a body cavity completely lined by tissue derived from mesoderm?
c) _____________ is a lined in part by tissue derived from mesoderm, but also by tissue
Question 6
Evolution and phylogenetics
We know charophytes are most closely related to land plants because
A)
B)
C)
D)
E)

Charophytes are the only green algae

Charophytes live on land
Charophytes share morphological, molecular, and structural trait with land plants
Scientists turned a charophyte into a land plant in the lab
Charophytes look more like land plants than algae

ANSWER C)
Question 7
Invertebrates
Which phyla are Lophotrochozoa
A)
B)
C)
D)
E)
F)

Platyhelminthes
Dr.richter
Anneldia
Nematode
Mollusca
Arthropoda

Answer: A) C) and E) are all lophotochozoa

Question 8
Ecology and Conservation>
A biologist originally marked 40 butterflies in Wilson Park. Over a month long period-butterfly traps
caught 200 butterflies. Of those 200, 80 were found to have tags. Based on this information, what is the
estimated population size of the butterflies in Wilson Park?
Answer: 100

(Population size using formula > mark and capture)

Mistake in question > we recaptured more marked animals than we originally marked, switched 80 and
40
Question 9
Bacteria and Archaea
Photoautotrophs use
A) Light as an energy source and CO2 as a carbon source
B) Light as an energy source and methane as a carbon source
C) n2 as an energy source and co2 as a carbon course
Answer: A)
Question 10
Invertebrates
Embryological Developments
A) True or false : during dr. Richters early embryological development the blastopore formed his
mouth first
B) True or false: nematode have the mouth developing from the blastopore first?

Answer: A) False B) True
Question 11
Protostome, deuterostome
What type of symbiosis is the following example? Also indicate the effect of the interaction on both
participants:
Burdock, a weed plant, has seeds that have long, curved spines, attached to the. They easily
catch onto the fur of passing animals, which carry and drop off these seeds to other areas
Commensalism, one benefits the other one remains unaffected/ unharmed
Question 12
Are these characteristics of Archaea true or false?
A) Nuclear envelope = absent
B) Membrane enclosed organelles -= absent
C) Peptidoglycan in cell wall = absent
Answer: A) TRUE B) TRUE C) TRUE
Question 13
FUNGI

Fungi were once thought of as unusual types of plants. List 2 ways in which fungi and plants are similar
and two ways in which they are different.
Similar > alternation of generations, sessile (Cant move), both reproduce with spores
Different > fungi have chitin in cell wall, plants have cellulose, store energy as glycogen, fungi are
heterotrophic (rely on other sources), plants are autotrophic (make own food)
Question 15
Ecology
What are the different levels of biodiversity that conservationists try to protect? Explain one way in
which we can protect biodiversity at any of these levels?
Answer > increase connectivity, restoration efforts
Question 16
Bacteria and Archaea
Are these characteristics of Bacteria true or false?
A) Nuclear envelope = present
B) Membrane Enclosed organelles = Present
C) Peptidoglycan in cell wall = absent
Answer: A) False B) False C) False
Question 17
Fungi
What type of symbiosis is the following example? Also indicate the effect of the interaction on both
participants:
Tapeworms are segmented flatworms that attach themselves to the insides of the intestines of animals
such as cows, pigs, and humans. They (Tapeworms) get food by eating the hosts partly digested food,
depriving the host of nutrients.
Answer: Parasitism, host does not benefit (-) , parasite (+)
Question 18
Evolution
Of the cladograms shows below, which one shows a different evolutionary history from the others?



Answer: third one
Question 19
Fungi
What type of symbiosis is the following example? Also indicate the effect of the interaction on both
participants:
Leafcutter ants grow fungi on beds of leaves in their nests. The fungi get a protected place to live.
The ants feed the fungi to their larvae.
Answer: Mutualism, both benefit
Question 20
Evolution
The fact that charophytes and land plants share characteristics means that
A)
B)
C)
D)
E)

Land plants evolved from charophytes

Land plants and charophytes shares a common ancestor
All those traits evolved twice
Charophytes evolved from land planys
The world works in mysterious ways

ANSWER B)
Question 21
Evolution
True or False
Mutation is a relativity unimportant source of variation
Answer: FALSE
Question 22
Conservation

Answer: A) toxic chemicals in the environment pose greater risk to top-level
>>> DONT NEED TO KNOW THIS TERM
Know that chemicals and pollutants accumulate through the food chain
Question 23
Evolution
Evolution by natural selection works best on a populations that have no variation
Answer: FALSE
Question 24
Bacteria

Answer b)
Question 25
Ecology
Are there any assumptions that need to be made when using the mark and recapture method of
estimating population size? List 1
Answer: assumptions > no births, deaths, immigration or emigration, tagging method does not affect the
animal
