Q

what key traits do animals that are eukaryotes share

Q

what happens during embryogenesis

A

104
Q

what happens during metamorphosis

A

transforms larvae into juveniles which look like adults, live in the same habitats and eat the same foods, are still sexually immature

105
Q

what happens during the growth and maturation

A

transform the juveniles into adults, which are the reproductive stage in the life cycle

Q

what are the most ancient of all major animal lineages

A

Porifera (sponges), Ctenophora (comb jellies), Cnidaria (jellyfish and others)

108
Q

what are characteristics of porifera

A

sponges, diverse group of sessile, mostly marine, suspension feeders, common in rocky, shallow water habitats of oceans, providing food and habitats for other organisms

109
Q

what are characteristics of ctenophora

A

comb jellies, although a few species of comb jellies live on the ocean floor, most are planktonic and predatory, fewer than 200 species have been described, lack stinging cells that are characteristics of cnidarians

110
Q

what are characteristics of cnidaria

A

jellyfish, corals, anemones, hydroids; cnidarians are found in all of the worlds oceans, key synapomorphy is a specialized cell called cnidocyte, which is used in prey capture

ecosystems engineers - each poly secretes a calcium carbonate endoskeleton that is left behind long after polyp dies, each generational of corals builds on secretions of its predecessors, gradually creating the physical structure of a coral reef, tropical waters are typically nutrient poor and hold little food for suspension feeders like coral polyps, corals have mutualistic relationship with photosynthetic protists and green algae, photosynthetic cells hosted by corals produce nutrients for the coral, the corals provide habitat and protection to the cells
