Chapter 18 The Evolution of Invertebrate Diversity Flashcards
With more than a million species– nearly three-quarters of all animal species– these are exemplars of animal diversity.
Insects
What characteristics make up an animal? (3)
- Eukaryotes
- Multi cellular heterotrophs, and have cells that lack cell walls.
- Use ingestion (the eating of food)
Absorbs nutrients after ingesting food outside their body?
Fungi
What does diploid mean?
Full set of chromosomes
What does haploid mean?
1/2 set of chromosomes
Are eggs and sperm haploid or diploid?
haploid
The zygote divides by mitosis to form a hallow ball of cells called a ________
Blastula
What is formed when sperm and egg fuse during fertilization?
Zygote
One side of the blastula folds in and cells become rearranged to form a _______ that establishes three embryonic layers.
Gastrula
What are the 3 embryonic layers?
- Endoderm
- Ectoderm
- Mesoderm
Embryonic layer that forms a lining of the future digestive tract.
Endoderm
Embryonic layer that forms an outer layer that will give rise to the skin and nervous system.
Ectoderm
Embryonic layer that forms a middle layer that will give rise to muscles and most internal organs.
Mesoderm
Invagination of ectoderm to form CNS. (makes a tube)
Neuralation
An immature individual that looks different from the adult animal.
Larva
A larva undergoes a major change in body form, called ____________, and becomes a reproductively mature adult.
Metamorphosis
Acceleration of animal diversification during the Cambrian period.
Cambrian explosion
The most celebrated source of Cambrian fossils is the _____ ______, containing a cornucopia of perfectly preserved animal fossils.
Burgess Shale
What may have caused the Cambrian explosion? (2)
- Increasing complex predator-prey relationships or
- An increase in atmospheric oxygen.
Animals with a backbone.
Vertebrates
Animals without a backbone.
Invertebrates
Roughly what percent of animals are invertebrates?
96%
Animals without true tissues.
Sponges
Animals with true tissues.
Eumetazoans
Animals with three tissue layers and bilateral symmetry.
Bilaterians
Body plans and molecular comparisons of animals can be used to build what?
Phylogenetic trees
Phylum Porifera
Sponges
Simple animals
Do not have true tissues
Usually lack body symmetry, and
Are usually marine, although some are found in fresh water.
Sponges
The body of a sponge consists of two layers of cells separated by a gelatinous region.
Choanocytes
Amoebocytes
Helps to sweep water through the sponges body.
