Biological life cycle

In biology, a biological life cycle (or just life cycle when the biological context is clear) is a series of changes in form that an organism undergoes, returning to the starting state.

Chitin

Chitin (C8H13O5N)n, a long-chain polymer of ''N''-acetylglucosamine, is a derivative of glucose.

Epidermis (zoology)

In zoology, the epidermis is an epithelium (sheet of cells) that covers the body of an eumetazoan (animal more complex than a sponge).

Gonozooid

Gonozooid is a zoological term applied to animal species that practice alternation of generations, in which a particular class of generation performs the functions of sexual reproduction.

Hydra (genus)

Hydra is a genus of small, fresh-water organisms of the phylum Cnidaria and class Hydrozoa.

Hydrozoa

Hydrozoa (hydrozoans, from ancient Greek ὕδρα, hydra, "sea serpent" and ζῷον, zoon, "animal") are a taxonomic class of individually very small, predatory animals, some solitary and some colonial, most living in salt water.

Jellyfish

Jellyfish or sea jelly is the informal common name given to the medusa-phase of certain gelatinous members of the subphylum Medusozoa, a major part of the phylum Cnidaria.

Polyp

A polyp in zoology is one of two forms found in the phylum Cnidaria, the other being the medusa.

Stolon

In biology, stolons (from Latin stolō "branch"), also known as runners, are horizontal connections between organisms.

Substrate (biology)

In biology, a substrate is the surface on which an organism (such as a plant, fungus, or animal) lives.
