Animal bodies - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Biology 172 UH MANOA Exam 2 Questions and Answers 100% Pass **What are some defining characteristics of animals?** Animals are multicellular organisms that lack cell walls and are heterotrophic, meaning they obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms or organic matter. Their cells are held together by structural proteins such as collagen, and they exhibit a wide range of forms and behaviors. **Explain the role of collagen in animal bodies.** Collagen is the predominant protein in...

metabolism - The total of all the chemical and physical processes by which the body builds and maintains itself (anabolism) and by which it breaks down its substances for the production of energy (catabolism). Glucose - The principal circulating sugar in the blood and the major energy source for the body ketone bodies - bodies produced as intermediate products of fat metabolism lactic acid - a by-product of glucose and glycogen metabolism in anaerobic muscle energetics amino acids - the ...

What are the only animals to lack symmetry? - Answer-Sponges What are the 2 types of symmetry? - Answer-radial and bilateral What is radial symmetry? - Answer-symmetry around a central axis (can be any halves on a 2-D plane) think of how you cut a pizza, an example can be a sea anemone. What is bilateral symmetry? - Answer-Right and left halves that are mirror images How do small unicellular organisms take in nutrients? - Answer-diffusion Why is cell size constrained? - Answer-Surface-to-v...
