Q

Which type of body symmetry evolved first?

A

Radial Symmetry

48
Q

How many planes of symmetry do Radial Symmetrical organisms have?

A

At LEAST two planes of symmetry. If you cut then at the center at any plane they will produce identical halves.

49
Q

How many planes of symmetry do Bilateral Symmetrical organisms have?

A

ONE plane of symmetry. If you cut them in half in long ways they produce two identical halves

50
Q

Does Radial symmetry occur on DIPLOBLASTIC or TRIPLOBLASTIC organisms?

A

In TRIPLOBLASTIC organisms

51
Q

What is an Acoelomate?

A

Triploblasctic, with NO body cavity (Flatworms, Planarians, Platehelmenthes)

52
Q

What is a Pseudocoelomate?

A

Triploblastic, with a body cavity between the mesoderm and endoderm (Roundwornd, Ascaris, Nematoda)

53
Q

What is a Coelomate?

A

Triploblastic, with a body cavity in between the mesoderm

54
Q

Do Bilaterians poses a tube-within-tube?

A

Yes, They are triplablastic with mouth at one end and anus at the other

55
Q

Why was the Coelom an important innovation during animal evolution?

A

it is an enclosed, fluid-filled chamber that can act as an efficient hydrostatic skeleton

56
Q

What is important about a Coelom?

A
  1. It provides a space for oxygen and nutrients to circulate
  2. Enables the internal organs to move independently of each other
  3. Gives bilaterally symmetric organisms the ability to move efficiently in search of food.
