Q

what are the different symetries

A

Asymmetry: body that cannot be divided into
symmetrical body parts (not symmetrical) ex: sponges

Radial Symmetry: any cut along the central body axis
results in similar halves (like cutting a pie) ex: jellyfish

Bilateral Symmetry: only one cut along one plane (2 mirror image halves) ex: lizard

25
What are characteristics of respiratory systems
- thin - large surface area: maximizing rate gas exchange - moist : gases can diffuse rapidly
26
What are examples of respiratory surfaces
- tracheal system : insects - gills - lungs
27
Where did life start ? What is the name of the first protist ancestor, closest relatives to animals ?
In the sea, choanoflagellate colony : protist ancestor
28
LEARN MAJOR ANIMAL GROUPS TABLE **
29
What are the main animal groups
- sponges (porifora) - Hydra, anemones, Jellyfish (Cnidaria) - flatworms (Platyhelminthes) - roundworms (hematoma) - segmented worms (annelida) - snails, clam, squid (mollusca) - insects, arachnids, crustaceans (Arthropoda) - sea stars, sea urchins (echinodermata) - vertebrates (chordata)
30
What are the symmetries between the groups
Sponges : absent Hydra, anemones, jellyfish : radial Rest: bilateral (Echinodermata = bilateral larvae, radial adults)
31
What is the segmentation between the groups
Absent for all expect : - segmented worms - insects , arachnids, crustaceans - vertebrates (reduces)
32
What is the digestive systems between the groups
Extracellular for all except sponges, intracellular
33
What is the circulatory system in the diff groups
Closed : - segmented worms - vertabrates Open : - snails, clams, squid - insects, arachnids, crustaceans Rest = absent
34
What is the respiratory system for the diff groups
- Snails, clams, squid = gills, lungs - insects, archnids, crustaceans = trachea , gills, book lungsd - sea stars sea urchins = tube feet, skin gills, respiratory tree - vertabrates : gills, lungs
35
What are special characteristics of vertabrates
- dorsal hollow nerve chord : central nervous system - notochord - pharyngeal gill slits - post anal tail
36
What is the notochord in vertabrates
A flexible rodlike structure that forms the main support of the body in all chordates during some stage of their development.
37
What are the main vertebrate groups
a) Jawless fish: lack jaws, fins and scales, cartilagenous skeleton (ex. lampreys) b) Cartilagenous fish (sharks and rays) have jaws and paired fins, mostly cartilagenous skeleton c) Bony fish have jaws, fins, scales, bony skeleton.(ex. lungfish, sturgeion, salmon) d) Amphibians (frogs, toads, salamanders) • cold blooded, breathe through moist scaleless skin • often in conjunction with gills or lungs • four limbs. e) Reptiles (crocodiles, lizards, snakes) cold blooded, dry scaly skin, breathe with lungs f) Birds have feathers, wings, no teeth, warm blooded. g) Mammals have mammary glands, hair, warm blooded.
38
What are the possible modes of asexual reproduction in animals
- regeneration : a piece of a parent is detached, it can grow and develop into a completely new individual. - budding : New individuals grow out from the parent organism - parthenogenesis : Development of an unfertilized egg into adult individual
39
What was the first sexual reproduction adapted for
Aquatic habitat
40
What were the first terrestrial vertabrates ?
- amphibians - Development of lungs (adults) - Gas exchange through skin - thin skin, desiccation is a problem, thus abundant in damp habitats - Developed skeletal structure that prevents the collapse of their bodies
41
How did the first terrestrial vertabrates reproduce
- female releases. Eggs in water, male releases sperm amid the eggs - eggs must remain in water or else they will dehydrate
42
Why do invertebrates have rigid exoskeletons
Reduces water loss
43
How do invertebrates reproduce
Internal fertilization
44
What are spermatophores in insects
packages of sperm sealed in capsules • prevents the sperm from shriveling / drying up in the air.
45
Reproduction of reptiles and birds
Scales and feathers create a waterproof barrier Efficient lungs for gas exchange Internal fertilization - Modification where sperm can be deposited directly within female  no longer need to return to water Completely independent of water with the formation of the amniotic egg (shelled egg)  allows for multiple births (eggs) AWAY from WATER
46
What is the amniotic egg
Shelled egg
47
What are the parts of the amniotic egg
1) amnion that protects embryo (in a fluid filled sac) from injury and dehydration. 2) Allantois: collects wastes 3) Yolk sac: nutrients 4) chlorion *look in slide
48
What are the drawbacks of the amniotic egg
- Insufficient protection from predators • Cannot survive drastic environmental changes • Ex. extreme cold
49
What are the 3 groups of mammals
1) monotremes 2) marsupials 3) eutherians
50
What are animals are in the monotremes group
Echidnas and platypus, found only in Australia and New Guinea
51
How do monotremes reproduce
Lay egg and mother incubates egg
52
How do Echidna babies feed
- suck milk from pores in mother’s pouch (they have no nipples)
53
What animals are in the marsupials group
opossums, kangaroos, and koalas most (but not all) in Australia & New Guinea
54
How are marsupial youth born
have internal development of young. - However, the young are born prematurely and must be reared in pouches. - In the pouch they attach to a nipple and stay there until they are able to forage for themselves
55
How are eutherian youth born
- known as placental mammals have internal development of young. - However, the young are born prematurely and must be reared in pouches. - In the pouch they attach to a nipple and stay there until they are able to forage for themselves
