I would recommend that you are comfortable with your lecture notes, lecture handouts, and the additional topics covered by homework assignment # 2. You may find the textbook particularly useful in preparing your thoughts for the mini essays below.
Mini essay topics for the exam. You are welcome to think about these topics and prepare ahead of time, but you will not be allowed to bring any notes or prewritten essays into the exam. You will be asked to write on TWO of these on the exam (the other mini essay topic will be covered by multiple choice questions).
|
A. |
Body structure and surface area. Describe the differences in overall body structure among sponges, cnidarians, and flatworms in how they address concerns over surface area, e.g., for digestion. |
|
B. |
Body structure and parasitism. Describe at least three features of the roundworms (nematodes) that make them effective parasites. |
|
C. |
Body structure and movement. Describe the differences in movement among cnidarians, ctenophores, rotifers, and nematodes. What are key structural features that allow them to move in the way that they do? |
Here are a number of multiple choice questions from a previous year's tests. Although the emphasis may be different from this year's, it should give you a flavor of the multiple choice questions I may ask. The correct answer is listed on the bottom of the next page. As you have experienced, my general approach to multiple-choice questions is to have them cover the lecture material, but in a way that makes you think.
