Exam 3 Flashcards
what are single celled fungi called
yeasts
what are the weblike bodies of multicellular fungi called
mycelia
what part of a mushroom is the fruiting body
reproductive structure
what 2 things of the mushroom is made of hyphae
reproductive structure and mycelium
what is hyphae made of
made of strings of cells
what divides most hyphae into compartments
septa
what does coenocytic hyphae consist of
multinucleate cells
what are the spore producing structures formed when hyphae are yoked
swimming gametes and spores, zygosporangia, basidia (club fungi), asci (sac fungi)
how do you remember swimming gametes and spores
individual gametes
how do you remember zygosporangia
2 headed
how do you remember basidia
4 spores on the end
how do you remember asci
8 spores in chambers
where are conidia located
ends
what is conidia for
asexual spores
how do fungi eat
decomp, digest outside of body and excrete enzymes
are fungi plants
no, closer to animals than plants, no chloroplasts for photosynthesis
do fungi have cell walls, if yes, what are they made of
chitin - a network sugar
what is ectomycorrhizal and endomycorrhizal fungi
ecto - around the roots and individual cells , endo - penetrating cell walls,
what are lichens made of
mutualistic partnership between ascomycete and cyanobacterium or alga
why are fungi good decomposers
can turn trees into soft soil, large surface area of mycelium makes nutrient absorption exceptionally efficient
what type of digestion do fungi do, describe it
extracellular, digestion that takes place outside the organisms, simple compounds resulting from enzymatic action are absorbed by hyphae, lignin and cellulose digested by fungi
what enzyme does fungi use to break down lignin, describe the process
lignin peroxidase - catalyzes oxidation step that creates a free radical and leads to series of uncontrolled reactions that split the polymer into smaller units
what does fungi use to break down cellulose, describe the process
enzymes called cellulases that are nutrient poor, oxygen rich, extract nutrients and release carbon, secrete the enzymes into extracellular environment, cellulases together convert cellulose into glucose that the fungus can absorb and use as a food source
describe the sexual reproduction part of the fungi life cycle (drawing)
mycelium -> PLASMOGAMY -> heterokaryotic mycelium (n +n) -> nuclei -> KARYOGAMY -> zygote -> MEIOSIS -> spore producing structure -> spores -> MITOSIS -> mycelium
describe the asexual reproduction part of the fungi life cycle (drawing)
mycelium -> MITOSIS -> spore producing structure -> MITOSIS -> spores -> MITOSIS -> mycelium
describe the variation in sexual reproduction in fungi (drawing)
mature spore producing body (n+n) -> KARYOGAMY -> MEIOSIS -> spores dispersed in wind -> MITOSIS -> spores germinate to form hyphae -> PLASMOGAMY (n+n) -> dikaryotic mycelium begins to grow (n+n) -> mature spore producing body
what key traits do animals that are eukaryotes share
multicellularity with cells that lack cell walls and have an extensive extracellular matrix ( external cytoskeleton so sugars sit outside cell structure), heterotrophy - obtain necessary carbon compounds from other organisms, most ingest their food rather than absorbing it, motility - move under their own power at some point in their life cycle
what is the most basal animal lineage
sponges (phylum Porifera) - multicellularity originated in sponge like animal
what characteristics do sponges share with choanoflagellates
both are benthic (live at the bottom of aquatic environments), and sessile (adults live permanently attached to a substrate rather than moving freely)
how do sponges and choanoflagellates feed
make water current to pull nutrients and pull water in then out, use flagella to propel water, filter feed foo, extracellular matrix
what is a epithelium
layer of tightly joined cells that covers interior and exterior surface of animal, thing that some sponges have
what are spicules
stiff spikes of silica or calcium carbonate that provide structural support to the ECM
what distinguishes lineages of sponges
types of spicules
what genomic data has said that maybe sponges are not the first
ctenophora are sister group to all other animals and are only animal that lacks microsRNAs (possibly that trait was lost over time),
biologists once considered spongers to be colonies of single celled protists because sponge cells are able to reaggregate after being dissociated. What evidence may have helped them to realize that sponges are actually animals and not colonial protists
they have an extracellular matrix surrounding their cells
what are diploblasts
animals whose embryo have two types of tissues/ germ layers
what are the germ layers for diploblasts
ectoderms (outside skin), endoderm (inside skin)
what are triploblasts
animals whose embryos have 3 germ layers, ectoderm, endoderm, mesoderm (middle skin)
what does the ectoderm give rise to
skin and nervous system
what does the endoderm give rise to
the lining of the digestive tract
what does the mesoderm give rise to
circulatory system, muscle, internal structures like bone and most organs
what 2 groups of animals are recognized as diploblasts
ctenophora (comb jellies), cnidaria (jellyfish, corals, sea pens, hydra, and anemones)
how do larval and adult ctenophores swim, how does it change the body’s shape
uses cilia, but some species adults have contractile tissue that can change the body’s shape, many cnidarians can change the shape of their bodies,
what homologous genes for contractile proteins exist for animals
actin and myosin
actin and myosin are used in ctenophores and cnidarians in contractile cells, where are they derived from
endoderm and/or ectoderm, called epitheliomuscular cells, functionally similar to true mesodermal muscle cells but evolved independently
what the different kinds of body symmetry
radial and bilateral
what is radial symmetry and animals that have it
at least 2 planes of symmetry, cnidarians, ctenophores, some sponges, (evolved independently in the echinoderms)
what is bilateral symmetry
single plane of symmetry and long narrow bodies
what is the cnidarians body symmetry
appears radially symmetric, but bilaterally symmetric
what is the theory around the evolution of the head and nervous system
tightly linked to the evolution of bilateral symmetry
what are the head and nervous systems in spongers, cnidarians, and ctenophores
sponges lack nerve cells and symmetry, radially symmetrical cnidarians and ctenophores have nerve cells that are organized into a nerve net, some ctenophores may also have clusters of nerves called ganglia
what is a ganglia
clusters of nerves \that gain central structure
what are the nervous systems of bilaterians like
more diverse ranging from a nerve net to a more complex central nervous system, some neurons clustered into tracts or cords, other neurons clustered in masses called ganglia, advantageous to have many neurons concentrated at that end, nerve tracts carry information down length of body
what the evolution of the CNS coincide with
cephalization
what is cephalization
evolution of a head where structures for feeding, sensing the environment and processing information are concentrated
what is a cerebral ganglion
brain
where is the brain located in
the head
what does the brain do
large mass of neurons that is responsible for sending and receiving information to and from the body, network of centralized system
what is a coelom
enclosed fluid filled body cavity between the tubes that provides a space for oxygen and nutrients to circulate, enables the internal organs to move independently of each other
what are coelomates
have an enclosed body cavity completely lined with mesoderm, ex: earthworm
what are acoelomates
no enclosed body cavity, ex: flatworm
what are pseudocoelomates
enclosed body cavity partially lined with mesoderm, ex: roundworm
what are the 2 major subgroups of embryonic development
protostomes (first mouth), named for embryonic development of mouth before anus; deuterostomes (second mouth) named from embryonic development of anus before mouth
what are the growth patterns of lophotrochozoans and ecdysozoans
lophotrochozoans - grow incrementally
ecdysozoans - grow by molting
what are the 2 major groups within protostomes
lophotrochozoans and ecdysozoans
what are lexamples of lophotrochozoans
mollusks, annelids, flatworms, and rotifers
how do lophotrochozoans grow
continuously when conditions are good
what are examples of edysozoans
arthropods and nematodes
how do ecdysozoans grow
by shedding their external skeletons or outer coverings and expanding their bodies
what is segmentation
division of body or a part of body into a series of similar structures
what is a defining characteristic of vertebrates
segmented backbone
what is the monophyletic lineage within the chordata
vertebrates
what are invertebrates
paraphyletic group where segmentation is conspicuous in annelids and arthropods
what did more predators v prey cause
more variations
what is a key aspect of cephalization
concentration of sensory organs in the head region as well as a mouth and brain, which is a great deal of diversity of sensory abilities and structures among animals
what senses do most animals have, what do only some animals have
common: sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch; some: sense temperature, magnetic field, electric field, barometric pressure, gravity
what can animals be classified as for feeding
detritivores, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores
what are detritivores
which feed on dead organic matter
what are herbivores
which feed on plants or algae
what are carnivores
feed on other animals
what are omnivores
eat both plants and animals
what are parasites
harvest nutrients from parts of their hosts, usually smaller than their victims
what are endoparasites
live nside their hosts and usually have simple wormlike bodies
what are ectoparasites
live outside their hosts and usually have limbs or mouthparts that allow them to grasp the host
what are the 4 feeding tactics observed in animals
suspension feeders/ filter feeders, deposit feeders, fluid feeders, mass feeders
what are the functions of animal locomotion
finding food, finding mates, escaping from predators, dispersing to new habitats
what are the 3 types of skeletal systems
hydrostatic, endoskeletons, exoskeletons
what is a hydrostatic skeleton
support from flexible body wall in tension surrounding fluid or soft tissue under compression
what is an endoskeleton
derive support from rigid structures inside the body such as bones in vertebrates and spicules in sponges
what are exoskeletons
derive support from rigid structures on the outside of the body, such as the external armor of arthropods
how do rotifera reproduce
asexually through mitosis by producing diploid eggs that can mature into adults without being fertilized
what is parthenogenesis
reproduce sexually through mitosis by producing diploid eggs that mature into adults without being fertilized
how does asexual reproduction occur
fission/ splitting and by budding
what is viviparous
live bearing species (develop inside placenta, live birth)
what is oviparous
egg bearing species (eggs)
what is ovoviviparous
egg live bearing species (sea horse, shark)
what are characteristics of viviparous species
retain the embryos in females body during development, give birth to live young, include most mammals,
what are characteristics of oviparous species
lay eggs outside to develop independently of the mother, embryos are nourished by yolk within the egg, most of species are
what are ovoviviparous species
female retains eggs inside her body during early development, growing embryos are nourished by yolk inside the egg and not by nutrients transferred directly from the mother, females give birth to well developed young, includes many insects, fish, and reptiles
what is the ploidy level of most sexually reproducing animals and why
diploid dominant life cycles because haploid gametes are single celled and short lived, with some exceptions
what is metamorphosis
drastic change from one developmental stage to another
what happens during indirect development
embryogenesis -> metamorphosis -> growth and maturation
