D2L Marine Biology
Across
- 5. Organ in most mammals that passes nutrients from mother to baby during pregnancy.
- 9. An organism with both male and female reproductive organs.
- 10. Cnidarian body form that is tube-shaped and sessile (stays in one place).
- 11. Shedding the old exoskeleton to grow a new, bigger one.
- 14. Cold-blooded; body temperature changes with the environment.
- 17. Asexual reproduction where a new organism grows off the parent.
- 18. Living on or in the ocean floor.
- 20. Glands in mammals that produce milk to feed young.
- 21. A system in echinoderms (like sea stars) that moves water to help with movement and feeding.
Down
- 1. No body symmetry or regular shape.
- 2. Body can be divided into two equal halves (left and right).
- 3. Internal skeleton made of bone or cartilage.
- 4. Animal with a backbone.
- 6. Warm-blooded; body temperature stays stable (like in birds and mammals).
- 7. Body parts arranged around a central point (like a starfish).
- 8. Eggs with a protective shell and fluid, laid on land by reptiles, birds, and some mammals.
- 12. Cnidarian body form that is bell-shaped and free-swimming (like a jellyfish).
- 13. Gas-filled organ in fish that helps control buoyancy.
- 15. Flexible tissue found in joints and some skeletons (like sharks).
- 16. Hard outer covering that protects and supports an animal (like a crab).
- 19. Animal without a backbone.
