Chapter 33: Protostomes Flashcards
What are the two main groups of protostomes?
1) Lophotrochozoa
2) Ecdysozoa
Lophotrochozoa:
What are their 3 characteristics?
1) Embryos develop using spiral cleavage
2) Most live in water
3) Move using cilia/ contraction of the body’s musculature
Lophotrochozoa:
What are their 2 characteristic structures? (some of them)
1) Trochophore: a free-living larva (worm-like)
2) Lophophore: a horseshoe-shaped crown of ciliated tentacles surrounds the mouth used in filter-feeding
Ecdysozoa:
What are the 2 main groups of ecdysozoans?
1) Arthropods
2) Nematodes
Ecdysozoa:
What animals it contains?
It contains animals that molt and have an exoskeleton (hard external skeleton)
Lophotrochozoa - phylum Platyhelminthes (Flatworms):
What are their 5 characteristics?
1) Ciliated
2) Soft-bodied
3) Acoelomate animals
4) Many are parasitic others are free-living
5) Lives in marine, freshwater, moist terrestrial
T/F: Anus is an evolutionary feature.
True
T/F: Even though the coelom is an evolutionary feature it was not always kept
True
Lophotrochozoa - phylum Platyhelminthes (Flatworms):
What do they have? (5)
1) Incomplete/ primitive digestive cavity
2) Tissues
3) Complex reproductive system
4) Undeveloped eyespot
5) A mouth with a pharynx that contracts and decomposes food
Lophotrochozoa - phylum Platyhelminthes (Flatworms):
What do they lack?
1) Coelom
2) organs
Lophotrochozoa - phylum Platyhelminthes (Flatworms):
How do they breathe?
By diffusion
Lophotrochozoa - phylum Platyhelminthes (Flatworms):
How do the spread food to the body?
They use vacuoles (phagocytosis)
Lophotrochozoa - phylum Platyhelminthes (Flatworms):
How do they get rid of the waste?
Either by diffusion or by mouth
Lophotrochozoa - phylum Platyhelminthes (Flatworms):
What are the consequences of having eyespots?
Directional movement and semi-cephalization
T/F: Not all animals have muscles
False - All animals have muscles but the can be from different type of mesoderm
Lophotrochozoa - phylum Platyhelminthes (Flatworms):
T/F: They are hermaphroditic
True - Gross fertilize
Lophotrochozoa - phylum Platyhelminthes (Flatworms):
All and all they win the title of _______
successful (reproduce a lot)
Lophotrochozoa - phylum Rotifera (wheel animals):
T/F: They are coelomates
False - They are pseudocoelomates
Lophotrochozoa - phylum Rotifera (wheel animals):
What is the function of their pseudo coelom?
Hydrostatic skeleton
