Animals Flashcards
name 5 of these that make an organism an animal
- eukaryote
- heterotrophs
- multicellular
- no cell wall
-capable of sexual reproduction - form from a blastula
- motile, capable of motility
what are the three classification of animal symmetry
1) no symmetry like a sponge
2) radial symmetry like a jelly fish
3) bilateral symmetry like humans
True or false, radial symmetry is associated to active creatures and bilateral symmetry is associated with inactive creatures
False
what is the term for nerves and sense being localized into a ‘head’
Cephalization
What is the process of a zygote dividing over and over
Cleavage
what is the end product of cleavage
a ball of cells called a blastula, and a tube to become the intestinal tract
what is the term for an organism that form the mouth first
protostome
what is the term for an organism that forms the anus first
Deuterostome
what are germ layers
layers of tissues in the embryotic stage
what are the germ layers in a diploblastic organism
Epiderm, a non-cellular layer and a endoderm
What are the germ layers in a triploblastic organism
epiderm, mesoderm, endoderm
what is a gastrovascular cavity
1) Sac like bag for digestion and circulation
2) means mouth and anus are the same hole
3) lack specialized compartments
what does the term true gut mean
Organism has a digestive tract only for digestion, mouth to anus. has specialized compartments
What is an advantage of a true gut over gastrovascular cavity
1) less likely to consume own waste
2) can continue eating
what are the 9 major animal phyla
1) porifera
2) cnidaria
3) Nematoda
4) Arthropoda
5) platyhelminths
6) Annelida
7) Mollusca
8) Echinodermata
9) Chordata
what classifies porifera and give an example
1) no true tissue, indeterminate growth, no symmetry
2) Sponges
what classifies Cnidaria and give an example
1) true tissues, diploblastic, radial symmetry, lack cephalization, gastro cavities
2) Jellyfish, coral, anemone
What two forms can Cnidaria exist as
polyp and medusa
what is an example of Nematoda
round worm
