Read chapter 1 in textbook. Complete the handout (which is the equivalent of our chapter 2), using this link. Click on the link “Chapter Outline – 01.” This is from a different textbook but covers the same information.

Giraffe case study questions are due at the start of next class.

Finish the Giraffe summary questions and hand in next class. Read chapter 1 in the textbook, and bring text to class.

Continue studying for final exam. Be sure to answer the drosophila questions based on the data from all classes (handed out in class). These will be collected on the day of the exam, and the material will be on the exam.

TEXTBOOK COLLECTION ON THE DAY OF THE EXAM!

Continue sketching plant anatomy and making observations.   Read the section on plants in the textbook.

Be sure you can answer all 8 questions that we covered in class (jigsaw activity):

1. When/where on Earth did multicellular plants evolve? What was the Earth like then? What was the atmosphere like?
2. By what process do plants obtain food? Be able to explain the process briefly.
3. What green (usually) compound is required for the process in #2 to occur?
4. What waste(s) are given off by plants as a byproduct of the process in #2?
5. List examples of organs of reproduction in plants.
6. What conditions affect land plants that are not encountered by aquatic plants?
7. What is the function of roots?
8. What is the function of leaves?

Read textbook sections 31-2, 32-1 to 32-3 and pay special attention to the amphibians in preparation for the frog lab. Read the frog lab handout as well.

Be sure that the recent assignments have been submitted (perch lab, respiration investigation, chordate questions and parasitic worms chart).

Please read the textbook sections on Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda and Chordata. Work on the crossword and the animals questions (not for handing in).

Complete the parasitic unsegmented worms chart using the text or other sources. Answer the questions on unsegmented worms and read the text section, as well.

Research nematoda and platyhelminthes. Be sure to read up on early development in animals (protostomes, deuterostomes, coelomates, pseudocoelomates, acoelomates, and the terms we listed in class last day).

Please find out the meaning of:

1. protostome
2. deuterostome
3. coelomate (pronounced “see-lo-mate”)
4. pseudocoelomate
5. acoelomate

Read and research the echinodermata, paying special attention to the 10 broad categories we have been focusing on with various animal groups:  classification, body plan/symmetry, feeding/digestion, respiration/gas exchange, excretion, nervous system/response, reproduction, mobility/locomotion, circulation, ecological importance.
