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
