Exam 1 Flashcards
Animal
Having breath
Diversity
Having different forms, multicellular, heterotroph, lack cell walls.
Taxonomy
Formal naming system with hierarchical order
Taxa
Organisms in the rank
Biodiversity
Variety of different life forms on earth. A measure of all organisms in an area.
Phylogeny
Uses organismal characteristics to classify
Homoplasy
Not related, convergent evolution
Homology
Common ancestry
Cambrian through Cretaceous. COSDCPTJS.
Cambrian, Ordovician, Silarian, Devonion, Carboniferous, Permian, turassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous
Monophyly
Most recent common ancestor and all it’s descendants
Paraphyly
Most recon common ancestor and some of its descendants
Polyphyly
Does not include recent common ancestors
Protoplasmic level
Level of organisation relevant for unicellular eukaryotes
Cellular level
Choanoflagellates, adhesion between cells
Cell-tissue level
Level of organization that includes metazoans (all animals), specific cells work together for specific functions, Porifera, placozoa
Tissue level
The tissue secretes are extra cellular matrix, highly coordinated unit (nerve net in cnidarians
Organs and organ system levels
Level of organization where to tissues work together to form specialized functions (most complicated level)
Animal Asymmetry
No plane that can be divided
Radial symmetry
Similar halves like a pizza
Biradial symmetry
Only two planes that can be cut evenly, organism is still radial
Bilateral symmetry
Mirroring left and right halves, cephalization
True body cavity
Has 3 embryonic germ layers, endoderm, ectoderm and mesoderm
Aceolomate
Invertebrate lacking a coelom, often worms or flatworms
Pseudocoelomate
Animal will fluid filled body cavity, often flatworms
Eucoelomate
Animal with a body cavity that is in 2 sections(annelids, Arthropods, mollusks)
Diploblasts
Blind end gut, endoderm and ectoderm
Give key transitions
Body cavity, organism complexity, body symmetry developmental traits, true segmentation.
True segmentation
Only annelids, arthropods, chordates
Bilateral groups
Protosomes and deuterostomes.
Protosomes
Lophotrochozoa, and ecdysozoa.
Deuterstomes
All have Gill slits at some point
Benthic
Living at the bottom of the water
Pelagic
Planktonic animals, small drifters
Monoecious
Hermaphroditism, animal is both sexes
Dioecious
Animal is one sex, species has separate sexes
Semelparous
Species reproduces then dies
Oviparity
Species lays eggs
Oviviparity
Gives birth to live babies
Viviparity
Animal give birth to live babies that hatched inside them and fed of remaining yolks before being fully born.
Choanocytes
Flagellated collar cells for movement
Aquiferous system
Body is efficient aquatic filter (sponges)
Asconoid
Sponge canal system, only in class calcarea, choanocyte lined spongocoel
Syconoid
Folded inner canals of sponges, only seen in class calcarea
Leuconoid
Choanocyte lined chambers, larger size, no spongocoel, in all classes
What makes a sponge a sponge
Choanocytes, aechaeocytes
Archaoecytes
Totipotent amoeboid cells in mesohyl
Mesohyl
The gelatinous matrix within a sponge
Totipotent
An immature stem cell
Classes in phylum Porifera
Homoscleromorpha, calcarea,
hexactinellidia. Demospongae
Class calcarea
Contains all three canal systems
Usually small
Spicules
Class homoscleromorpha
Spicules not distinct Cellular distinction (pinacoderm)
Class hexactinellida
6-rayed silica spicules (glass lattice)
Syncytial body
Mostly deep sea
Class demospongiae
80% of sponges
Contains the only freshwater sponges
All leuconoid
Commercial bath sponge
Syncytial
A multinucleate cell which can result from multiple cell fusions
Poriferan feeding
Intercellular digestion, phagocytosis, few carnivorous species
Sponge asexual reproduction
Budding and dormant gemmules
Sexual sponge reproduction
Sperm from choanocytes, oocytes from archaocytes
Gemmule
Tough coated cluster of dormant embryonic cells (in sponges)
