4.3 Flashcards
What are the two lineages in the bilaterian clade?
Protostomes and deuterostomes
Where did all the protostomes come from?
A common ancestor that diverged away from the deuterostome group, through genomic data
What are most animals?
protostomes
Which phyla make up most of the animals?
Phylum Arthropoda
Which group makes up most of the arthropoda?
insects
Where can protostomes be found?
in most habitats
How many protostome lineages adapted to living on land?
Several
Which lineages adapted to living on land in deuterostomes?
Chordates
Protostome benefits to living on land?
New resources and safety from predators
Protostome challenges to living on land?
Desiccation, gas exchange, support against gravity, getting sperm to egg, protecting embryo. Explain
How did protostomes prevent desiccation?
Developed waterproof skin or stayed in moist environments
How did protostomes prevent gas exchange?
used their skin for gas exchange or developed internally respiratory structure with openings that could open and close
How did protostomes have support against gravity?
used their coelom as a hydrostatic skeleton and stayed small. Arthropods developed exoskeleton
How did protostomes get the sperm to the egg?
internal fertilization
How did protostomes protect embryos?
eggs with desiccation resistant coverings (no food)
What two classes make up protostomes?
Lophotrochozoa and Ecdysozoa
What are three unique characteristic of lophotrochozoans?
lophophore, trochophore larva, spiral cleavage
What is the lophophore?
a circular ridge around the mouth with ciliated hollow tentacles, is unique to three filter-feeding lophotrochozoan phyla
