The study of zoology focuses on organisms in the Animalia kingdom.

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

Animal cells contain mitochondria but not chloroplasts.

Lysosomes digest waste materials and participate in cell death.

Smooth ER produces lipids, membranes, and detoxifies substances.

All eukaryotes belong to the Domain Eukarya.

Cell respiration is the breakdown of sugar (glucose) to produce energy.

Mitosis is the division of body cells, while meiosis is the division of sex cells. Crossing over occurs in meiosis, not mitosis.

The majority of ATP is generated during the electron transport chain within cellular respiration.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a waste product of the Krebs cycle, released during cellular respiration.

The main animal tissues include nervous, connective, muscle, and epithelial tissues.

A good experiment includes a control group to compare with the experimental group.

Interphase is the stage preceding mitosis, which involves DNA replication and cell growth.

Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.

Chromosomes line up in the center of the cell.

Darwin was influenced by Charles Lyell's work which suggested Earth is extremely old, supporting evolution.

A phylum of animals that includes snails, clams, and squids.

A phylum of segmented worms, like earthworms.

A phylum of animals that have a notochord at some stage of development, including vertebrates.

A flexible rod-like structure that provides support in chordate embryos.

Urochordata, Cephalochordata, and Vertebrata are the three major groups of chordates.

A structure used by many mollusks to scrape food from surfaces.

An organism that has both male and female reproductive organs.

Chordates are closely related to Echinoderms and Hemichordates.

Gene sets that control the development of an organism's body plan.

Hagfish (class Myxini) produce a slime defense mechanism to deter predators.

Lampreys (class Petromyzontida) don't migrate onto land.

Neither Myxini nor Petromyzontida are the earliest jawed fish.

The dorsal, hollow nerve cord is a defining feature shared by all chordates.

Pharyngeal slits first evolved as suspension-feeding devices in chordates.

The earliest jaws evolved in the class Chondrichthyes - cartilaginous fish.

Lungfish possess both lungs and gills, allowing them to breathe air and underwater.

Proboscidea, the order that contains elephants, is characterized by a long, muscular trunk, thick and loose skin, and upper incisors that are elongated into tusks.

Lagomorpha, which includes rabbits, hares, and picas, is defined by chisel-like incisors that continuously grow, hind legs longer than forelegs for hopping and running, and herbivorous diet.

Artiodactyls are a suborder within the Cetartiodactyla order. They are characterized by hooves with an even number of toes on each foot and a herbivorous diet. Examples include sheep, pigs, cattle, deer, and giraffes.

Cetaceans, another suborder within the Cetartiodactyla order, are aquatic mammals. They have streamlined bodies, paddle-like forelimbs with no hind limbs, a thick layer of insulating blubber, and a carnivorous diet. Examples include whales, dolphins, and porpoises.

Rodentia, the order that includes squirrels, beavers, rats, porcupines, and mice, features chisel-like incisors that continuously grow due to gnawing, and a herbivorous diet.

The fossil Archaeopteryx, a transitional form between dinosaurs and birds, possessed feathers, a key feature of modern avian species.

Reptiles, such as snakes and lizards, have scales made of keratin which helps them conserve water in arid environments by minimizing water loss through their skin.

Amphibian eggs lack the protective shell found in reptile eggs, making them susceptible to drying out. Amphibians are therefore reliant on water for breeding.

Gaviiformes includes aquatic birds known for their exceptional swimming and diving skills, typically spending most of their time in the water.

Birds of prey, such as hawks, eagles, and falcons, belong to the order Falconiformes. These diurnal predators possess strong beaks and talons for hunting and consuming prey.

Ciconiiformes are wading birds, including herons and egrets, distinguished by their long legs, necks, and bills adapted for feeding in shallow water.

Pigeons and doves share the Order Columbiformes, characterized by their small heads, short legs, swift flight, and pointed wings.

Praying mantids belong to the Order Mantodea, known for their distinctive posture with forelegs folded like hands in prayer.
