Animal Diversity Flashcards
Animal
Opisthokonts Multicellular: cell adhere mitotic division Hetertropic- eat other animals Internal digestion Motility- Muscles, nerves, skelton Sponges Diploblastic animals Eumetazoans
Animals are monophyletic
common ancestor thought to resemble colonial choanoflagellates
Sponges
ack 8ssues (groups of similar cells ac8ng as one) –Body form: cup-shaped –Inner surface composed of choanocytes•Flagella beat to draw water through pores to central cavity
Diploblasitc animals
2 body layers •Central gastrovascular cavity –Single opening is both mouth and anus –Tentacles trap prey, sweep into mouth •Noncentralized nerve net •Aqua8c- body supported by water
Cnidarians
Jelly fish corals Diploblastic Animals
Jelly fish and comb jellies
2 body layers in embryo –Dis8nct organ systems –Radial symmetry
More complex animals
3 embryonic layers –Bilateral symmetry
Early embryo- hollow ball of cells (blastula) Invaginaiton: beginning of gut (gastrula)
Chordates and echinoderms- deuterostomes
Arthropods and molluscs- protostomes
Lophotrochozoans - Invertabte
bryozoans, molluscs, annelids) •common larval form, feeding apparatus
Ecdysozoans Invertabrate
arthropods- most different species 10^18 nematodes) •Shed exoskeleton to grow
Deuterostomes Invertabrate
echinoderms, hemichordates, vertebrates) •Mouth forms second
Arthropods - Ecdysozoan
Most complex of the ecdysozoansSuccess due to: Body supported by an exoskeleton (chi8n, hard but flexible) Segmented body plan (metameric) Paired, jointed appendages
Anthropods Examples
Crustaceans lobster marine, terrestrial
Hexapods grasshopper terrestrial
Myriapods millipede
Chelicerate horseshoe crab, spiders
Simpler ecdysozoans (shed exoskeleton to grow)
Tardigrades
Limbs not jointed When too dry, shrink up, can survive a decade
Others: no limbs at all Nematodes- round worms No segmenta8on Scavengers, predators, or parasites e.g. Trichinella- parasite of swine
Caenorhabditiselegans- lab animal
Lophotrochozoans
have a lophophore (feeding structure) and a trochophore (free-living larval stage)
Lophotrochozoans examples
Molluscs:Have a foot (locomoiton) Internal organs- “visceral mass” Mantle- secretes shell
Gastropods e.g. snail
Bivalves e.g. clams
Cephalopods e.g. octopus
Other lophotrochozoans:
Annelids e.g. earthworms,
leeches segmented bodies Flatworms e.g. flukes, tapeworms most are internal parasites simple bodies-often lack digesitve tracts
Roitfers Have a ciliated corona- sweeps food into mouth Some species- only females
Bryozoans colonial
Deuterostomes
Blastophore becomes the anus
Echinoderms
Most are radially symmetric as adults Larvae are bilaterally symmetric Move and feed using “tube feet
Echinoderms evolved from bilateral ancestor but exhibit radial as adults
Chordates
Dorsal, hollow nerve cord (CNS) •Postanal tail (locomo8on) • Notochord (flexible support) – Embryonic only in some • Pharyngeal slits (gas exchange) • Lancets • Tunicates (no notocord in adult, sessile) •vertebrates
