Animals Flashcards
How do animals get energy
Heterotrophic. Must ingest other living things to acquire organic molecules and energy
Development of germ layers
Ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm.
Ectoderm
Outer layer. Body covering and nervous system
Mesoderm
Middle layer, skeleton and muscles
Endoderm
Inner layer. Digestive system
Body radical symmetry
Any plane through a central axis divides the animal into roughly equal halves. (Jelly fish)
Bilateral body symmetry
Symmetrical animal that can be divided into roughly mirror image halves only along one particular plane through the central axis ( scorpion)
Asymmetry body
No particular body shape
Body cavity
Fluid filled space surrounded by mesoderm tissue that is formed during development
Acoelomate
No body cavity
Flat worms
Pseudocoelomate
Body cavity between mesoderm and endoderm
Pseudocoelom- body cavity
Roundworms
Coelomate
Body cavity entirely within the mesoderm. Lined with peritoneum (muscle layer)
Coelom- body cavity
Chordates, annelids
Animals kingdom
Animalia
Protostome early development
First embryonic opening becomes the mouth. Mouth forms first
Annelids, arthropods
Deuterostome early development
Second embryonic opening becomes the mouth. The anus forms first
Chordate a
