The correct answers are as follows"
1. ACOELOMATE: An animal without a body cavity.
An acoelomate refers to an animal that does not have internal, fluid filled cavity that is separating its body wall from its digestive tract. Animals that belong to this group are invertebrate and they lack coelom [body cavity]. Examples of such animals are flatworm, tapeworm, etc.

2. BILATERAL SYMMETRY: A condition in which the left side of an organism's body is a mirror image of the right side.
Bilateral symmetry refers to a body plan in which the organism's body can be divided into mirror images along a central axis. Examples of animals that exhibit bilateral symmetry are humans, dogs, cats, butterflies, ants, sharks, etc. These animals have advanced nervous and skeletal system compare to other animals.  

3. CELLULAR RESPIRATION: A series of chemical reactions that break down sugars and produce energy.
Cellular respiration refers to the metabolic pathway through which glucose is broken down to produce energy in form of ATP. Cellular respiration is divided into different phases and the phase include: glycolyisis, pyruvate oxidation, kreb's cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Cellular respiration is the major process by which the body cells obtain energy from the food that an organism consumed. The cells use the energy obtained to carry out biochemical processes that are necessary for the sustenance of life.

4. COELOMATE: An animal with a fluid-filled body cavity that lies within the mesoderm.
Coelomates refer to those animals which have true body cavity and a lining called peritoneum, which is derived from the mesoderm. The peritoneum lining allows the organs in the animal to be linked to one another. The coelom serves as a shock absorber and provide a kind of hydro-static skeleton. Examples of coelomate animals are humans and all other animals that have back bones, that is, vertebrate animals, such as dogs, cats, baboon, etc.

5. HERMAPHRODITE: An animal that has both male and female reproductive organs.
An hermaphrodite refers to an organism, which possesses the reproductive organs that are associated with both the female and the male species. Some group of animals exhibit hermaphroditism, these are mainly invertebrates, which do not have separate sexes. In these animals, having both sexes enables the animals to reproduce conveniently without having to search for suitable partners. Examples of animals, which are hermaphrodites are tunicate, some species of snail, some species of fish and land slug. 

6. INVERTEBRATE: An animal without a backbone.
Invertebrates refer to those animals which lack spinal column. Over 90% of the existing animals in the world today are invertebrate, these include all animal groups with the exception of the sub-phylum vertebrata, which are vertebrates. Examples of invertebrates are: crabs, lobsters, insects,snail, octopus, etc.

7. MEDUSAE: Free-floating aquatic animals with a structure similar to a jelly fish.
A medusa refers to a type of cnidarian, in which the body has a shape that is similar to that of an umbrella. Medusae typically have many tentacles, which they used to trap their preys. The tentacles are usually thing and long and they are covered with venomous sting cells, through which they inject poison that immobilize their preys.

8. METAMORPHOSIS: The transformation of a larva to an adult, occur only in animals having great differences in form between the larva and adult.
Metamorphosis refers to the biological process by which an organism physically develop after birth. For those animals that undergo metamorphosis, the process is important for their sexual maturity. Examples of animals that undergo this process are butterfly and tadpole.

The kidneys have different layers of connective tissue. The connective tissue in the kidney connects different organs within the kidney. Connective tissue has the same color and same texture. The renal column and renal cortex have the same type of connective tissue, renal fascia. Renal column and renal cortex also appear similar in color and texture because the renal column extends medullary to the renal cortex.
