Ch.32 Flashcards
Heterotroph
-ingest own food
animals
-heterotrophs
-cells lack cell walls
-bodies held together by structural proteins (collagen)
-unique muscle and nervous tissue
-at least one larval stage
-made impact on land by 460 million years ago
Tissues
group of cells that have a common structure, functon or both
Blastula
-undergoes gastrulation (forms gastrula w/ different layers of embryonic tissues)
advantage of sexual reproduction
increase genetic variation
larva
sexually immature and morphologically distinct from adult
-undergoes metamorphosis
ediacaran biota
period classification that consists of all life forms there present on Earth during ediacaran period
-included in early animal fossil record
-dates from 565 to 550 million years ago
mesozoic era`
coral reefs emerged
-ancestors of plesiosaurs returned to water
-dinosaurs were dominant vertebrates
-first mammals emerged
-flowering plants and insects diversified
Cenozoic era
-followed mass extinction of terrestrial/marine animals (large, nonflying dinosaurs)
-mammals increased in size and explored vacated ecological niches
-global climate cooled
radial symmetry
some animals have no front/back or left/right
-often sessile or planktonic (drift/weak swimming)
bilateral symmetry
two-sided symmetry
-move more actively
-have central nervous system
cephalization
many sensory organs forming at the front end of body, forming a head
ectoderm
germ layer covering embryos surface
endoderm
innermost germ layer
-lines digestive tube (archenteron)
diploblastic
-animal has both ectoderm and endoderm (cnidarians/comb jellies)
triploblastic
-animal that also have an intervening mesoderm layer (include bilaterians)
-flatworms, arthropods, vertebrates, others
-most have body cavity (coelom)
mesoderm
-formed through gastrulation
-middle layer between endoderm and ectoderm
coelom
true body cavity
-derived from mesoderm
coelomates
-animal that possess a true coelom
pseudocoelomates
-triptoblastic animal that possess a pseudocoelum (body cavity derived from endo/ectoderm
-fluid filled body cavity not lined by mesoderm
acoelomates
-triploblastic animals that lack body cavity
protostome development
-cleavage is spiral and determinate
-blastopore becomes the mouth
deuterosome development
-cleavage is radial and indeterminate
-mesoderm buds from wall of the archenteron to form coelom
-blastopore becomes anus
blastopore
-forms during gastrulation and connects the archenteron to the exterior of gastrula
-makes digestive track
