Chapter 33.1- Animal Body plans Flashcards
What is a feature of animal cells that differentiate them from protists and fungi and plants?
Prolonged embryology that includes a blastula stage
cell develops differently
NO cell wall
What is phylum?
it is a group that animals with the same body plan can be put into
What are characters ? How do they evolve?
Characters are a term used by scientists to define distinctive features of an organism
What are the three groups’ animals can be put into based on symmetry?
- Porifera: irregular no form of symmetry in body(sponges)
- Cnidaria: (sea animals like jelly fish and coral) axis runs from mouth to base and many planes of symmetry
- Bilateria: Have a single plane of symmetry (humans )
How are Porifera, cnidaria, and bilateria different from eachother in terms of cellularity and tissues?
Poriferia: have simple not well defined tissues and complex organs
Cnidaria: have well defined tissues but lack complex organs
Bilateria: have both well defines tissues and complex organs helps with digestion gas movement
What is cephalization?
Cephalization is the concentration of nervous system at one end of the body. ( Usually called the head and found in bilateral organisms) and vertebrates
What are three key ways where the evolution of cephalization has been helpful to animals?
- helps them take in sensory information from the environment
- the closeness of sensory organs to the brain= information processed quickly
- helps with predation, they can better dect predators or prey
What is segmentation?
is the organization of the body into segments that repeat from front to back and moditified where they
repeat (usually for insects and ect)
Describe what a dipoblastic animal is
it is a cnidarian with two germ layers:
endoderm and ectoderm
Describe what a triploblastic animal is
a bilteran with three germ layers:
Endoderm
mesoderm
Ectoderm
What did the development of mesoderm triploblastic animals do?
allowed for new types of tissues such as muscles and circulatory systems
What are the two groups of bilaterians called?
Protosomes: the blastopore becomes the mouth
Deuterosomes: the blastopore becomes the anus allows twinning
What are the two groups of bilaterians called?
Protosomes: the blastopore becomes the mouth and forms first
Deuterosomes: the blastopore becomes the anus, the mouth forms second.
What are the major steps in animal evolution?
- Multicellularity
- True sealed epilthelia
- Organs
- Triploblastic condition
- Bilateral symmetry
- Tubular differentiated gut
- Amniotic egg
- Vertebrate endoskeleton
Multicellularity
- helps cells communicate
- immune memory
- abilitiy to recongize foreign cells
