1
Q

protostome

A

major lineage of animals

  • embryonic development pattern: mouth b4 anus
  • coelem formation: mesoderm block splits
  • live in aquatic & terrestrial habitats

(ie) mollucks, anthropods, annelids

Q

gills

A

any organ in aquatic animals that exchanges gases & other dissolved substances btwn body 7 surrounding water
- often filamentous outgrowth of body surface

17
Q

tentacle

A

long, thin appendage

  • often used for feeling & feeding
  • occurs in diff. forms in diverse animals
18
Q

beak

A

structure that exerts biting forces

  • associated w/ mouth
  • found in birds, cephalopods & some insects
19
Q

molting

A

shredding of external protective cuticle or skeleton; expansion of soft body; growth of new external layer

  • method of body growth
  • used by ecdysozoans
20
Q

cuticle

A

protective coating secreted by outermost layer of cells of animal/plant
- fcn: decrease water loss via evaporation

21
Q

exoskeleton

A

hard covering secreted on outside of body

  • used for body support, protection & muscle attachment
  • prominent in anthropods
22
Q

hemimetabolous metamorphosis

A

animal icnrease in size from one stage to next

  • no dramatic body form change
  • aka incomplete metamorphosis
  • hemi = half
23
Q

holometablous metamorphosis

A

animal completely changes its form

  • includes a distinct larval stage
  • complete metamorphosis
  • holo = whole
24
Q

antennae

A

long appendage of head

- used to touch or smell

25
Q

carapace

A

large platelike section of exoskeleton

  • covers & protects cephalothorax
  • crustaceans
26
Q

cephalothorax

A

head chest found in crabs

27
Q

mandible

A

any mouthpart used in chewing

  • (vertebrate) lower jaw
  • (insects, crustaceans, myriapods) 1st pair of mouthparts
28
Q

chelicerae

A

pair of claw-like appendages found around mouth of certain anthropods called chelicerates

(ie) spiders, mites, allies

29
Q

protostome importance to humans

A

(1) detritivores, herbivore, carnivore
(2) food source
(3) provide valuable material - silk/peral
(4) food impact - damage or protect
(5) cause or transmit human disease

30
Q

most diverse protostome phylum + class

A

arthopoda insecta

31
Q

beetle

A

most successful insect

32
Q

modularity

A

gene mutations from a blueprint version

- similar body plans but diff. gene expression

33
Q

major physiological challenges protostomes overcame

A

(1) gas exchange
(2) avoid drying out
(3) hold up bodies under own weight

34
Q

lophotrochozoans morphological traits

A

(1) lophophore
(2) trochophore
(3) spiral cleavage pattern

*some do not have all three

35
Q

spiral cleavage pattern

A

cell division unequal

- larger cells at bottom, small at top

36
Q

ecdysozoans morphological traits

A

(1) molting
(2) anthropod body plan
(3) 2 types of metamorphosis

37
Q

nymph

A

juvenile adult version

- hemimetabolous metamorphosis

38
Q

benefits of metamorphosis

A

(1) juveniles + adults do not compete w/ each other

(2) increase biological fitness
