Bio Ch.30-32 Flashcards
What happens in sexual reproduction?
Sperm and eggs unite to form a zygote.
The zygote undergoes cleavage.
Characteristics common to most animals.
- Eukaryotic
- multicellular heterotrophs
- a diverse body plan
- capable of locomotion some time during their life cycle
Advantages of life in the ocean.
- stable temperature
- provides buoyancy
- more readily available food
Disadvantage of life in water
Currents and water movements.
Disadvantages of living in fresh water
Less constant environment, with less food.
Animals must osmoregulate.
Disadvantages of living on land.
Animals must have adaptations that protect them from dying out and temperature changes, also to protect their gametes and embryos.
What is cephalization?
Development of a head, evolved with bilateral symmetry.
What happened during the Cambrian radiation ?
New animal body plans rapidly evolved among class already existing.
Biologist hypothesize that cnidarians and ctenophores are closely related because they share what?
Radial symmetry
This gives rise to the body covering and nervous system.
Ectoderm
Describe the endoderm.
Lines the gut and other digestive organs.
Acoelomate
No body cavity
Pseudocoelomate
Body cavity not completely lined with mesoderm
A body cavity completely line with the mesoderm
Coelom
Name the two major branches of bilateral animals.
Protostomes and deuterostomes
What kind of cleavage do protostomes undergo?
Spiral. ( early cell divisions are diagonal to the polar axis)
-determinate cleavage
What kind of cleavage do deuterostomes undergo?
- Radial cleavage (cell divisions are either parallel or at right angles to the polar axis.
- indeterminate cleavage
Protostomes are divided into which 2 major clades?
Lophotrochozoa and ecydsozoa.
Give examples of Lophotrochozoa.
Flatworms, ribbon worms, mollusks, annelids, Rotifers.
Give examples of ecydsozoa.
(Animals that molt)
-nematodes and arthropods
Phylum Porifera
Consist of sponges, animals characterized by flagellate collar cells.
Phylum Cnidaria
- Characterized by radial symmetry
- Two tissue layers
- Cnidocytes(cells that contain stinging organelles)
Hermaphrodite
Can produce both egg and sperm
True coelom
Fluid-filled body cavity completely lined by a mesoderm
