Chapter 30.3 and 30.4 Flashcards
Themes of diversification within animal phyla and Non-bilaterian animals
What are bilaterian animals?
Two categories of animals called protostomes and deuterostomes that differ from each other in embryo development
What is blasty?
Numbers of germ layers
What are the four ecological roles
Detritivores
Carnivores
Herbivores
Omnivores
What are Detritivores?
Organisms that feed on dead organic matter
What are Carnivores?
Organisms that feed on animals
What are Herbivores?
Organisms that feed on plants and algae
What are Omnivores?
Organisms that can feed on combinations of plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaea, bacteria
What are the types of feeding strategies
Suspension feeders
Fluid feeders
Deposit feeders
Mass feeders
How do suspension feeders obtain food
Capture food by filtering out particles floating in water or drifting through the air
How do fluid feeders obtain food
Suck or mop up liquids like nectar, plant sap, blood (ex. butterflies)
How do deposit feeders obtain food
Ingest organic material that has been deposited within a substrate or on its surface
How do mass feeders obtain food
Take chunks of food into their mouth (ex. lions)
Types of reproduction
Asexual reproduction
Sexual reproduction (external fertilization)
Internal fertilization
Types of limbs
Lope-like limbs
Parapodia
Jointed limbs
Tube feet
Modes of embryonic development after internal fertilization
Viviparous species
Oviparous species
Ovoviviparous species
What are viviparous species method of embryonic development
Nourish the embryos internally and give birth to live young
Ex. most mammals
What are Oviparous species method of embryonic development
Deposit fertilized eggs; nourished by yolk
Ex. Most insects, birds
What are Ovoviviparous species method of embryonic development
Retain eggs internally, nourish embryos by yolk and give birth to live young
Ex. guppies, garter snakes
What are the three phylum of non-bilaterian animals?
- Porifera
- Ctenophora
- Cnidaria
What are the characteristics of ponifera
- Most are marine animals
- Benthic (live at aquatic floor)
- Adults are immobile and larvae swim using cilia
- Reproduce asexually and most species produce both eggs and sperm, but rarely fertilize
How do ponifera reproduce
Reproduce asexually with most species producing both eggs and sperm, rarely self-fertilizing
How are ponifera beneficial to humans?
Commercial and medical value
ex. dried sponges used in bathing and washing and sponge toxins being studied for use in cancer chemotherapy
Characterizations of Ctenophora
- Only 190 marine species
- Transparent and gelatinous
How do ctenophora trap prey
With adhesive tentacles
How do ctenophora move
Beating comb-like plates of cilia
