Biology Unit 9 Invertebrate Zoology
Invertebrate Zoology Content Objectives
9.1.1 List the characteristics of animals.
9.1.2 Distinguish between an invertebrate and vertebrate; exoskeleton and endoskeleton: closed and open circulatory systems; external and internal fertilization.
9.1.3 Define symmetry and describe the three types (asymmetry, radial symmetry, bilateral symmetry) using examples.
9.1.4 Define the following terms: cephalization, anterior, posterior, dorsal and ventral.
9.1.5 Describe the three types of body symmetry and give examples of each type.
9.1.6 Describe the evolution of invertebrates by using a phylogenetic tree.
9.1.7 Evaluate the ecology and importance/uses of invertebrates.
9.1.8 Describe the body structure and systems of a sponge and compare/contrast to cnidarians.
9.1.9 Describe the body structure and systems of flatworms, roundworms and rotifera.
9.1.10 Discuss several diseases caused by flatworms or roundworms.
9.1.11 Describe the body structure and systems of the three classes of mollusks (especially the clam).
9.1.12 Describe the body structure and systems of annelids and the value of segmentation (especially the earthworm).
9.1.13 List the characteristics of arthropods; describe the body structure diversity and systems of arthropods (especially the crayfish).
9.1.14 Describe how arthropods are classified and the diversity of arthropod groups (crustaceans, spiders and their relatives, insects and their relatives).
9.1.15 Evaluate three adaptations of insects in terms of the role they played in enabling insects to become diverse and abundant.
College Readiness Skills
9.2.1 Perform dissections to identify the structures; link the structures to their functions; connect to the corresponding body system.
20E.1 Select a simple hypothesis, prediction, or conclusion that is supported by a data presentation or model.
13I.1 Select a single piece of data (numerical or non numerical) from a simple data presentation.
16I.3 Find basic information in a brief body of text.
20I.3 Translate information into a table, graph or diagram.
