Biodiversity 5 Flashcards
Chanoflagellaes
Aquatic: filter deed on bacteria, unicellular sister group to the animals
Synapomorphy: collar of sticky tentacles.
Sponges
aquatic, almost all marine, mostly sessile, multicellular, but not eumetazoa.
Synapomorphy: mineral spicules
They do not have trye layers so they do not hjave endoerm or ectoderm
Eumetazoans
have gastrulation, true tissues, symmetrical body plan, internal gastrovascular system
Ctenophores
all marine, predators, radial symmetry, flow through gut
Synapormorhy: 8 combs
no mesoderm
Cnidaria (jellyfish, hydras, anemones)
all aquatic, almost all marine, polyp, or medudsa, radial symmteyr, no flow through gut- no mesoderm
Syna: cnidocytes
Dinoflagellates
perform photosynthesis to provide sugar (up to 90% of coral energy)
Cnidarian + Bilaterians
they are united by having hox genes, set of genes that code for transcription factors contribute to development
Lophotrochoza
flatworms, annelids, and mollusks
Flatworms
Degree of Cephalization: there is some cephalization
Type of Circulatory System:
no circulatory system
Type of body cavity: acoelomate
Annelids
Degree of Cephalization: there is some cephalization
Type of Circulatory System
closed circulatory system
Type of body cavity:
coelomate
Mollusks
Degree of Cephalization: there is more cephalization, particularly in cephalopods
Type of Circulatory System:
Have open circulatory system
Type of body cavity:
coelomate
Annelids
Characteristics:
Segmentation, closed circulatory system
Coelomate: digestive tube with two openings
Chitinous setaw
Mollusks
include bivalves, gastropods, and cephalopods
Synapo: muscular foot, visceral mass, mantle have different forms and functions in each group
