Animals Flashcards
3 Characteristics of Animals
Motile, Heterotrophic, and Multicellular
Heterotrophic
Ingests nutrients and stores it as glycogen
What organism did animals evolve from
Choanoflagellates
Choanoflagellates
Single cell attached to a stalk and has a flagellum that sweeps for food
Bifurcation
Division of ancestral line into two branches
Radial
Multiple mirror images, similar to pizza
Bilateral
One mirror plane, usually some cephalization
Cephalization
Has a head of sensory reception
Radiata
Organisms with radial symmetry and are diplobastic
Diploblastic
Having two tissues
Triploblastic
Three Layers
Diploblastic Layers
Ectoderm and endoderm
Triploblastic Layers
Ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm
Mesoderm creates
Muscles and Internal organs
Protostomes
Develop the mouth first in the digestive track, have spiral cleavage, and are determinate
Deuterostomes
Develop the anus first in the digestive track, have a radial arrangement, and are indeterminate
Protostomes include
Mollusks, arthropods, and annelids
Deuterostomes include
Chordates and echinoderms
Gastrulation (slide 19)
the development of tissues
Induction
Embryonic cells trigger the differentiation of cells
Hox genes
Determine the basic structure of an organism
Phylum Porifera
Parazoa, includes sea sponges
Parazoa traits
Have two layers of epithelial cells but lack true tissues
Phylum Cnidaria
Includes corals, jellyfish, and anemones
Cnidaria means
stinging thread
Cnidaria Traits
Trues tissues, radial symmetry, two germ layers, and no complete digestive tract
Cnidaria larval stage
Planula
Nematocysts
Stinging cells located in organisms of phylum cnidaria
Hydrozoans
Jellyfish
Coelom
A fluid lined body cavity separating the gut from the outer wall
Psuedocoelomates
Body cavity is not entirely lined by mesoderm and forms between the mesoderm and endoderm
True Coelom
body cavity lined with mesoderm
Phylum Platyhelminthes
Flatworms; Triploblastic, bilaterally symmetrical, have no true coelom but have first true mesoderm
Tapeworms
P. Platyhelminthes; Have a scolex, division into body segments, lost digestive tract
Scolex
Oral hooked attachment of tapeworms
Proglottids
Body segments of tapeworms
Phylum Nematoda
Round worms; soils and parasitic worms, have a false coelom, helps make the hydrostatic skeleton
Kidney worm
P. Nematoda; live in mammal kidneys and come from fish and frogs
Ascaris lumbricoides
P. Nematoda; human roundworm that lives in the stomach
Hook worm
P. Nematoda; burrows into toes causes diarrhea, pneumonia, and anemia, and affects 800mil-1.2bil people
Caenorhabditis elegans
P. Nematoda; model organism
Phylum Mollusca
Have the most body variation of animals, have a shell and include 50,000 to 120,000 species
Mantle
Formed by the dorsal epithelium and it secrete calcareous spicules or one or more shells
Radula
Circular band of teeth in the esophagus for feeding
Gastropods
P. Mollusca; includes snails, sea slugs, nudibranchs and is the largest class of the phylum
Gastropod means
stomach foot
Bivalves
P. Mollusca; have a two valved shell with a hinged ligament controlled by an adductor muscle and lack cephalization and a radula
Zebra Muscles
Highly invasive species of bivalves that are located in Lake Erie especially
Cephalopods
P. Mollusca; includes octopi, squid, nautilus, and cuddle fish
