Concept explainers

Animal Diversity

Nematodes are commonly known as roundworms. They are free-living, very tiny organisms. They have an elongated and tubular body. These organisms have a nervous system and are mostly act as parasites to both animals and plants.

Platyhelminthes

Platyhelminthes are also known as "flatworms" because as they are dorsoventrally flattened from head to tail. They are invertebrate, soft-bodied, acoelomate, unsegmented and have bilateral symmetry.

A niche is loosely defined as an organism's role in its environment, which can include factors such as feeding preference, nesting behaviors, mating behaviors, method of obtaining prey, and local habitats. Keeping Gause's law in mind, do some research on the California red-legged frog and the North Pacific tree frog (use wiki or another Google search). Create a chart comparing the two with respect to their niche or lifestyle that can explain how these two frogs can co-exist in the same ecosystem.

Skill 1: Applying The Scientific Method Science is the pursuit and application of knowledge to understanding of the natural world by following a systematic methodology based on evidence. The scientific method is an approach to gaining insights about the way nature works by creating and testing scientific hypotheses. A hypothesis is a proposed testable explanation of a natural phenomenon, usually based on prior knowledge and original observations. A hypothesis forms a basis of predictions regarding properties or behavior of a natural ei system under study. Once formulated, the predictions are tested by a carefully designed experiment, additional observations, or simulations, and the merits of the hypothesis are evaluated in light of the data. The hypothesis is falsified when data of differ from the predictions and, consequently, it is either modified or rejected. The modified hypothesis is then retested, further modified iteratively, until its predictions Sys are consistent with the…
