chapter 21 Invertebrates Flashcards
How many known animals species are there?
1.3 million
What specific set of features do all animals have in common?
They have eukaryotic cells that lack cell walls
Their cells produce an extracellular matrix
They have multicellular bodies
They go through a blastula stage of development
They are heterotrophic
What is a blatula?
a sphere of cells surrounding a fluid-filled cavity
How many animal phyla are there?
nine
Name all the animal phyla
Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Mollusca, Annelida, Nematoda, Arthropoda, Echinodermata, Chorodata
Are most animals vertebrates or invertebrates?
Invertebrates
What are invertebrates?
animals that lack backbones
What are vertebrates?
animals that have backbones
Which phylum have vertebrates?
Chordata
Where did life begin?
in water
How many million years ago did the first animals arise?
570 million years ago
Ancient animals probably resembled what aquatic protist?
choanoflagellates
do animal features reflect shared ancestry?
yes
How are animals grouped?
by shared features of body form, developmental characteristics, and DNA
The first branching point in animal taxonomy distinguishes…?
animals having tissues or not
what are eumetozoans?
animals with true body tissues
What are parzoans?
animals with no true body tissues
What does the second branching point distinguish?
symmetry and embryonic germ layers (2 vs 3)
a body form in which multiple similar parts are arranged around a central axis
radial symmetry
Do most eumetazoan phyla have radial symmetry or bilateral symmetry?
bilateral
What do bilaterally symmetric animals have that others don’t?
a head and a tail
define cephalization
the tendency to concentrate sensory cell and a brain at the animal’s head. Typically this is accompanied by greater sensory complexity
do most eumetazoam phyla have 2 germ layers or 3?
3
How is the gastrula formed
by the blastula folding on into itself
What is a blastula?
an embryonic ball of cells
What is a cup-shaped structure composed of two or three layers of tissue
gastrula
Name the 3 germ layers developed by the gastrula
Endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm
What does the ectoderm develop?
the skin and nervous system
What does the endoderm develop?
the digestive tract
What does the mesoderm develop?
the muscles and circulatory system
The third branching point distinguishes animals by…?
how their gastrula develops
what is a protostome
“mouth first”
If the first indention of the gastrula develops into the mouth
The anus will develop from the second opening
What is a deuterostome?
“anus first”
If the first indention of the gastrula develops into the anus
the mouth will develop from the second opening
What is a coelom?
a body cavity surrounded on all sides by mesoderm
Where do internal organs grow?
in the coelom
What is a pseudocoelom
a cavity that is lined partly with mesoderm and partly with endoderm
What does it mean when an animal doesn’t have a coelom?
they lack a body cavity
Animals that have a mouth that both takes in food and ejects wastes have…?
an incomplete digestive tract
Animals have a {blank} if food passes in one direction from mouth to anus
complete digestive tract
The division of an animal body into repeated parts is…?
segmentation
What advantage to segmented bodies have over unsegmented bodies?
segmented bodies are more flexible and have more potential for developing specialized body parts than unsegmented bodies
what is direct development?
animals that resemble adults in their juvenile stage
What is indirect development?
Animals that have a larval stage that does not resemble the adult form
What does an animal with indirect development do as it matures into an adult
the larva undergoes metamorphosis
Porifera
Sponges aquatic and sessile no true tissues hollow bodies asymmetric or radially symmetric
sessile
anchored to a surface
how to sponges eat
filter feeder
water moves into a sponge’s body through pores in its sides, then out through a hole at the top. This allows the sponge to trap food and eliminate waste
What are collar cells
cells that sponges have to trap food and start to digest it
