Animal Diversity Flashcards
What are the five characteristics of animals?
1.Multicellularity
2. Heterotrophy
3. No cell walls
4. Movement (in most)
5. Sexual reproduction (Diplontic life cycle)
What are the five evolutionary trends and innovations?
- Symmetry
- Tissues
- Body cavity
- Patterns of embryonic development
- Segmentation
What are the three types of symmetry?
- Asymmetry
- Radial symmetry
- Bilateral symmetry
What are the three trends and innovations of tissues?
- Lack defined tissues
- Tissue level organization
- Organ systems
What are the three types of body cavities?
- Acoelomate
- Psuedocoelomate
- Coelomate
In embryonic development the blastospore in protostomes becomes what? What type of cleavage does it have?
Becomes the mouth and it has spiral cleavage
In embryonic development the blastospore in deuterostomesbecomes what? What type of cleavage does it have?
Becomes the anus and it has radial cleavage.
What is segmentation?
Linear repetition of parts.
Multicellular animal phyla are divided into what two main branches?
Sponges and Eumetazoa
What are five characteristics of sponges?
- Asymmetry
- No true tissues
- Have totipotent cells that can change into any of their cell types.
- No body cavity
- Filter feeders
What are some characteristics of Eumetazoa?
- Have true tissues
- Three embryonic cell layers (ectoderm, endoderm, mesoderm)
3.Have true body symmetry (radial or bilateral)
What is the ectoderm?
Outer layer of the cell. Becomes epidermis and nervous system.
What is the endoderm?
Inner layer of cell. Develops into digestive tissue (gastroderm).
What is the mesoderm?
Layer in the cell between endoderm and ectoderm, develops into muscles. Found only in Bilateria.
What are some characteristics of Ctenophora?
- Likely most basal Eumetazoan
- Maybe Diploblastic
- Kind of have radial symmetry
- Complete 1-way gut
- 8 rows of comb like cilia
- Largest animal to use cilia to move
- Many bioluminescent
- 2 tentacles cover with colloblasts
