Animal Diversity Flashcards
What are the three domains?
archae, bacteria, eukarya
What are the four kingdoms of Eukarya?
Protista, Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia
What domains are prokaryotes?
Archae and Bacteria
What kind of eating method are animals?
consumers or heterotrophs
What characteristics do animals share?
- multicellular (most have tissues)
- cells without cell walls
- able to move during some point in their lifetime
- nerve network in most
- no cell wall
- aerobic respiration (O2 using)
What are general features of animals?
- diverse in form and habitat
- most reproduce sexually
- characteristic patterns of embryonic development development
- most share hox genes
What are hox genes?
determine structure of the body (ex. this is the head part, this is the thorax, etc)
What are the types of body symmetry?
asymmetrical, radial, and bilateral
What are the advantages of bilateral symmetry?
cephalization, body segmentation, and greater mobility
What is cephalization?
evolution of a definite brain area
When do tissues begin developing? Why?
early embryonic development; so cells become specialized
What can make up the layers of tissues?
endoderm, ectoderm, mesoderm, and non-living layer
What is the endoderm layer?
inner most part of the tissues
What is the ectoderm layer?
outer most part of the tissues
What is the mesoderm layer?
middle part of the tissues
Is the mesoderm layer always present?
no
Is the non-living layer always present?
no
What is the non-living layer?
a protein gel not containing any cells
What kind of tissue layer do radiata have?
diploblast
What kind of tissue layer do bilateria have?
triploblast
What do the tissue layers surround?
a gut IF present
What kind of body symmetry do parazoa have?
asymmetrical
Are radial animals primitive or advanced?
primitive
Are bilateral animals primitive or advanced?
advanced
Is a gut a body cavity?
no
