Bio Exam 4 Class 2 (Protostomes) Flashcards
the coelom in protostoes is formed with a
hollowed mesoderm
the celom in deuterostomesis forned with a
pinched off mesoderm
what is a protostome?
-bilaterian
-triploblastic
-the mouth forms first
-monophyletic group
protostomes include phyla:
arthropds, mollusks, and annelids
(ex. insects clams worms)
most animal species are
protostomes
protostomes are found virtually in
every habitat and ecosystem
protostomes transitioned from
water to land
protostomes evolved adaptations to:
-exchange gases
- avoid dessication
- support their body weight
how did protostomes evolve to be more efficient in gas exchange
- body with high surface area to volume ratio
how did protostomes evolve to decrease water loss?
-eggs with thick membrane or shell
- gills/ respiratory organs inside the body
- cuticles on body with spiracles
spiracles are similar to the - in plants?
stomata
how did protostomes evolve to provide support and protection?
-exoskeleton
- shells
the waxy cuticle in protostomes
kept moisture in the protostome
internalized gills and spiracles allowed protostomes
to breathe on land with the cuticle which helped them keep from drying out
many protostomes have a
hemocoel
