Animals Pt.1 - T3 S1 P1 Flashcards
new phylum discovered by scientists in 1995 that lives on lobster lips
Nephrops
Are most animals vertebrates or invertebrates?
invertebrates
What did the first animals likely evolve from?
protists
arose 570 MYA, related to choanoflagellates, resemble collar cells in sponges
first animals
List five characteristics animals share.
multicellular eukaryotes, lack cell walls, heterotrophs, development (blastula stage), secrete extracellular matrix
What do biologists classify animals based on?
organization, morphology, and development
no true tissues (sponges)
parazoa
true tissues
eumetazoa
List the types of symmetry.
asymmetry (sponges), radial symmetry, bilateral symmetry (cephalization)
Where do animals live?
nearly everywhere
In embryonic development, gastrula has how many primary germ layers?
2 or 3
names of the primary germ layers
ectoderm and endoderm,
mesoderm
mouth forms first in embryonic development
protostomes
anus forms first in embryonic development
deuterstomes
List 3 body cavities (characteristics).
coelom, pseudocoelom, hydrostatic skeleton
fluid-filled body cavity that forms completely within the mesoderm
coelom
body cavity lined partly with mesoderm and partly with endoderm
pseudocoelom
What are the types of digestive tract?
no digestive tract, incomplete, complete
digestive tract of sponges
no digestive tract
digestive tract with gastrovascular cavity
incomplete
digestive tract which allows for increased efficiency and specialization
complete
division of an animal body into repeated parts, adds to the body’s flexibility, potential for specialized body parts
segmentation
How do most animals reproduce?
sexually
reproduction and development: no larva stage (grasshoppers, cockroaches)
incomplete metamorphosis
reproduction and development: larvae undergo metamorphosis (egg-maggot-pupa-adult fly)
complete metamorphosis
simple animals that lack differentiated tissues
sponges
radially symmetrical, aquatic animals
cnidarians
What phylum are sponges in?
Porifera
What phylum are cnidarians in?
Cnidaria
diet of cnidarians
carnivore
tiny harpoons of cnidarians
cnidocytes
symmetry of flatworms
bilateral
symmetry of cnidarians
radial
cnidarian reproduction
sexually and asexually
What is the cnidarian exoskeleton made of?
coral calcium carbonate
environment of cnidarians
mostly marine
body form of a cnidarian
polyp/medusa
body cavity of cnidarians
gastrovascular
What phylum are flatworms in?
Platyhelminthes
symmetry of flatworms
bilateral
digestive tract of flatworms
incomplete
List the three main classes of flatworms.
free-living flatworms,
flukes (parasitic),
tapeworms (parasitic)
flatworm excretion
protonephridia
body cavity of flatworms
hydrostatic skeleton
(T/F) Flatworms do not have specialized circulatory or respiratory systems.
true
(T/F) Flatworms have a simple brain or nerve net.
