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
Invertebrates
Absence of backbones.
Sponges, nidarians, flatworms, roundworms, annelids, Echinoderms,
Vertebrates
Presence of backbone.
Chordates
Sponges
Phylum- Porifera.
Live in marine environment
No movement
Lack tissue but cellular organization
Asexual reproduction (fragmentation or budding)
Pores on sponges
Pores are located on the outer surface of the sponge. Allows h2o to enter.
How does water flow through sponges
Beating of flagella produces water current. Flows through pores into central cavity and out of osculum.
When water enters, o2 is extracted. Microorganism are filtered out and taken into individual cells where they are digested and waste releases.
H20 and water released through the osculum
Cnidarians
Phylum- cnidaira
Body symmetry- radical
Lives in shallow marine waters
Tubular animals with tissues
Distinct tissues but lack organs
Jellyfish. Nerve net found throughout body
Nematocysts
On tentacles of Cnidaria. Stinging organelles that inject toxins to capture prey. Toxins are sticky filaments, poisonous, and painful.
How many openings in cnidarians
- It leads to gastrovascular cavity. Site of digestion, site of gas exchange. Waste discharge, formation of gametes.
Polyp
Cnidarian. Tube shaped. Attaches to rocks. Tentacles reach up
