Ch 31 Protostomes Flashcards
Cnidaria: class Hydrozoa 2 details
- often without medusa stage
- solitary or colonial
What are the 4 classes of Cnidaria
1) Hydrozoa
2) Scyphozoa
3) Cubozoa
4) Anthozoa
Cnidaria: Class Scyphozoa
What animal is included, and 2 details
- medusa is dominant form
- among the largest invertebrates
Cnidaria: Class Cubozoa
What animal is included and 2 details
- have complex eyes
- actively hunt prey
Box jellyfish
Cnidaria: Class Anthozoa
Wheat animals are included and 3 details
- Polyps, no medusa
- may be solitary
- differ from hydrozoans in partitioned gastrovascular cavity
Sea anemones, corals
To what group do the zooxanthelae of corals belong?
Dinoflagellates
Ctenophora: Comb Jellies
What are 3 characteristics and what do they have in common/different with Cnidarians
- fragile, luminescent marine predators
- 8 rows of Cilia that resemble combs
- tentacles with adhesive glue cells, Don’t Sting
> Like Cnidarians: have radial symmetry and 2 tissue layers
> Unlike Cnidarians: have mouth and anal pores
Bilateral Animals: 3 adaptations
- the coelom
- cephalization (head)
- the central nervous system
Coelom: 3 details/ what it allows
- Allows tube-in-tube body plan (body wall is outer; digestive is inner)
- provides space for complex internal organs
- enclosed compartment serves as Hydrostatic Skeleton which allows the diversity of animal movement types
what happens in a Hydrostatic skeleton
contracting muscles push against tube of fluid
Cephalization: 2 details of the evolution of a head
2 ways it increases effectiveness of a bilateral animal
Evolution
- concentration of sense organs and nerve cells at anterior end
- leading to central nervous system including brain
Effectiveness
- to actively find food, shelter, mates
- to detect enemies
2 Characteristics of Protostomes and the 2 groups
characteristic: mouth before anus/ spiral, determinate clevage
1) Lophotrochozoa- from merging trochozoans and lophophorata
2) Ecdysozoa- share process of molting
(Lophotroch.)
Platyhelminthes: 4 charateristics and what animal is this
Flatworms
- coelom lost with well developed organs
- gastrovascular cavity with One opening
- Ladder-type nervous system consisting of 2 nerve cords extending length of body(connect like rungs)
- simple brain made of 2 Ganglia
4 Classes of Platyhelminthes and what type of animal
Class Turbellaria - free-living flatworms(planarians), marine/fresh
Class Trematoda and Monogenea - parasitic flukes
Class Cestoda - parasitic tapeworm
(Loph)
Mollusks: 3 charateristics and 1 detail of each
1) soft-bodied animals - usually covered by shell
2) Ventral foot - for locomotion
3) Mantle - covers visceral mass(body organs)
