Evolutionary Aspects Of The Animal Kingdom Flashcards
Physiology
How various parts of animal work
Anatomy
Scientific study of animal body structures
Colloquial use of the word animal
Non-human animals - but doesn’t satisfy scientific definition
Animal is also known as
Metazoa
Origin of the word animalia
Latin word animalis meaning “having breath” and “having soul”
How many known species are there
1 million
3 areas of diversity
Specs, habitats, characteristics
Monophyletic - animal kingdom
Animal kingdom is monophyleticmeaning all taxa evolved from a single common ancestor
How many phyla are there
Around 35
Clades
Further grouping of phyla that share a common ancestor based on shared characteristics and genetics
Clare examples
Radiate, bilateral,protostomia,deuterostemia
What was the first ever Cade
Radiate
Low level blades vs. High level
Less descriptive factor vs. More
What are the low level blades
Radiate + bilaterja
Higher level Cade
Protostomia + deuterostomia
What does radiate need
Nerves and radial symmetry
What does bilateral need
Nerves and bilateral symmetry
What does protostomia need
Nerves, bilateral symmetry, and schizocoelom
What does deuterostomia need
Nerves, bilateral symmetry,enterocoelom
What was the common ancestor of animalia
Colonial choanoflagellate ancestor
What was the common ancestor of animalia
Colonial choanoflagellate ancestor
What defines an animal.
- Multicellular eukaryotethat lacks cell wall 2. Heterotroph
B. Motile at some time - Reproduces 5. Most have nerve and muscles
What did we evolve from and elaborate
We evolved from a colonial unicellular ancestor during the Precambrian era
When was our common ancestor present
Precambrian era
What is an colonial unicellular ancestor
An organism composed of different cells but live in groups-each cell acts individually
What was the colonial unicellular ancestor
Flagellated protist
How did the colonial unicellular ancestor evolve
Cells in these protists became more specialized and layered. For example, a colonial organism night produce specialized feeding cells which then move inside and form a digestive cavity
Why did the digestive cavity move to inside of cell
Digestive system needs a thin membrane so o it being inside offers protection
Why did the digestive cavity move to inside of cell
Digestive system needs a thin membrane so o it being inside offers protection
What type of colonial organism was our ancestor
Colonial choanoflagellate ancestor
Closest relative of choanoftagelBette
Sponge
Do choanoflagellates now exist
Yes
What do choanoflagellate, and sponge cells have in common
Colonial + same collar structure
What do choanoflagellate, and sponge cells have in common
Colonial + same collar structure
How did choanoflagelete cells specialize into sponge
Cells took on specialized function of filter feeding
How did choanoflagelete cells specialize into sponge
Cells took on specialized function of filter feeding
Difference between animal and plant cells
Animals have centrioles;plants have cell walls and chloroplast
How do animals cells retain structure
extracellular matrix and cell junctions
extracellular matrix
pollysachride molecule, proteoglycans, collagen fibers, fibronectin, plasma membrane, receptor protein (integrin), microfilaments and cytoplasm all over together to provide rigidity
