Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 15.1 | Features of the Animal Kingdom By the end of this section, you will be able to: List the features that distinguish the animal kingdom from other kingdoms Explain the processes of animal reproduction and embryonic development Describe the hierarchy of basic animal classification Compare and contrast the embryonic development of protostomes and deuterostomes Even though members of the animal kingdom are incredibly diverse, animals share common features that distinguish them from organisms in other kingdoms. All animals are eukaryotic, multicellular organisms, and almost all animals have specialized tissues. Most animals are motile, at least during certain life stages. Animals require a source of food to grow and develop. All animals are heterotrophic, ingesting living or dead organic matter. This form of obtaining energy distinguishes them from autotrophic organisms, such as most plants, which make their own nutrients through photosynthesis and from fungi that digest their food externally. Animals may be carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, or parasites (Figure 15.2). Most animals reproduce sexually: The offspring pass through a series of developmental stages that establish a determined body plan, unlike plants, for example, in which the exact shape of the body is indeterminate. The body plan refers to the shape of an animal. Q: What do animals require to grow and develop? Choices: - sunlight - sucrose - carbon dioxide - food A:
A: food

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Meningitis is an infection of the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. If you have meningitis, you are likely to have a fever and a headache. Another telltale symptom is a stiff neck. Meningitis can be caused by viruses or bacteria. Viral meningitis often clears up on its own after a few days. Bacterial meningitis is much more serious ( Figure below ). It may cause brain damage and death. People with bacterial meningitis need emergency medical treatment. They are usually given antibiotics to kill the bacteria. Q: Meningitis is an infection of the membranes that cover the brain and what else? Choices: - umbilical cord - notochord - liver - spinal cord A:
A: spinal cord

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: In beta decay, an electron and a proton form from a neutron (another unusual particle, called an antineutrino, is also produced). Only the electron is emitted from the nucleus. How does this change the atomic number and atomic mass of the atom?. Q: What particles are formed from a neutron in beta decay? Choices: - rust and proton - mucus and a proton - atom and proton - electron and a proton A:
A: electron and a proton

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The direction of the force of gravity is in a straight line between two objects. It is always attractive. Q: The direction of the force of gravity is in what direction? Choices: - staggered line - curved line - fragmented line - straight line A:
A: straight line
