Biology 100 Unit 18 Flashcards
Animals are:
4
- Eukaryotic
- Multicellular
- Heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrients by ingestion
- Able to ingest then digest their food within their bodies
Animal cells lack the ____________________
cell walls that provide strong support in the bodies of plants and fungi.
Most animals are _________ but __________________
diploid, having haploid eggs and sperm.
Sea Stars reproduce ______________
sexually
What are the developmental stages of of a sea star (4)
- Sperm + egg
- Zygote
- Blastula
- Gastrula
How many layers does the gastrula have
4 layers
Animals are considered to have evolved from
colonial flagellated protists
Multiple protist cells are thought to _________________ _____________________________________
gradually become more specialized, developing distinct layers.
Major phyla of Animals are present in
old Cambrian rock, exhibiting tremendous animal diversity
This is known as the __________________, because life suddenly appeared or “exploded” as different forms
cambrian explosion
Many of the strange creatures seen in Cambrian fossil beds are now extinct, but
some life forms still exist today
To build a phylogeny of all animals, scientists compare a variety of data sets, including
comparative anatomy, embryology, and molecular biology.
the evolution of a genetically related group of organisms as distinguished from the development of the individual organism
phylogeny of animals
There are______________key characteristics of animal development
four
What are the four key characteristics of animal developement:
(1) the development of true tissues (endoderm, mesoderm & ectoderm)
(2) the development of complex body symmetry
(3) The development of a true body cavity led to complex internal
(4) Among the more complex coelomate animals we can distinguish two main types coelom formation based on their embryonic development.
is a fluid-filled compartment that separates the outer body from the digestive tract.
body cavity
This cavity may be ________, partially present as a ______________ or complete as a _______________.
acoelmate, pseudocaelom, true coloem
In _____________, such as vertebrates and sea stars
deuterostomes
In deuterostomes:
the first embryonic infolding becomes the _______,
and
• the coelom develops from the gut
anus
In _______________
• the first embryonic infolding becomes the _______,
and
• the coelom develops from cell masses.
protostomes, mouth
Sponges ________________________, so they are thought to be a primitive animal
do not have true tissues
Sponges are (2)
sessile (attached to a substrate) and lack true tissues.
They have several autonomous cell types, such as ____________ ___________________
ameobocytes and choarocytes
Many sponges exhibit _________________, meaning that their parts are arranged around a central axis.
radial symmetry
Flagellated _________________, filter food from the water passing through the porous body.
choarocytes
It is thought that choarocytes arose from multicellular ____________________, which still exist today
choanoflagellates
Once food is captured, Water ____________ flow distributes food
to other cells
ameobocytes
are the simplest animals with true tissues.
Cnidarians
Cnidarians exist in either of two radial symmetrical forms.
They include jellyfish & sea anemones
Sessile __________, such as hydra, corals, sea anemones
polyps
medusas or ____________ are part of the phylum _________
jellyfish, cnidaria
