- 11. an internal rigid framework that supports humans and other animals
- 12. the animal that survives by living inside or on another organism, gets food from the organism, and does not help in the organism’s survival/organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from its host

Down
- 1. body plan that can be divided into two parts that are nearly mirror images of each other anywhere through the central axis
- 2. a process in which the body form of an animal changes as it grows from an egg to an adult
- 5. body plan that cannot be divided into any two parts that are nearly mirror images of each other
- 6. the process of shedding and replacing an outer covering
- 7. small, flat, rigid external body covering
- 8. groove along the side of a developing chordate that will develop into other body structures
- 9. a group of organisms with similar traits and able to produce fertile offspring
- 10. an animal that heats its body with heat from the environment
- 13. the flexible rod-shaped structure that supports the body of a developing chordate
- 14. the protective membrane surrounding an embryo
- 17. thick, hard outer covering that protects crabs and other animals
- 19. any bristle or bristle-like appendage, or stiff hair in invertebrates and some plants. The bristles or setae help anchor and control the worm when moving through the soil. The bristles hold a section of the worm firmly into the ground while the other part of the body protrudes forward.
