Exam 3 Flashcards
animals
- multicellular, ingestive heterotrophs
- unique tissues for impulse control and movement: nerves&muscles
- except sponges
life history
pattern of development & growth from inception to maturity
animal life history
- sexual reproduction
- diploid
gastrulation
The process in which the embryo develops into a gastrula following blastulation
gastrula
an embryo at the stage following the blastula, when it is a hollow cup-shaped structure
blastula
embryo that is a hollow ball of cells
archenteron
- cavity of an embryo at the gastrula stage.
- develps into the gut
blastopore
opening of the central cavity of the gastrula
germ layers
- ectoderm-originates from outer layer of germ cells
- endoderm-innermost layer
direct development
development without a metamorphosis
indirect development
metamorphosis
hox genes
- specific 180 nucleotide-long sequence
- cnidarians->humans
- determine
- cell identity
- developmental pathways of cells
hox genes tell cells ________
where and when to divide
animals are ________
- monophyletic
- Protometazoan resembled choanoflagellate protist
Body plan
- body oranization
- embryonic germ layers
- symmetry and cephalization
- segmentation
- appendage# and form
___________ have helped us understand animal history
fossil deposits
Why did diversification happen so fast
- ecological reasons
- predator-prey relationship
- geologic
- increasing o2 levels
- genetic causes-hox gene
- duplication and divergence
phylum porifera
- common name: sponges
- no tissues
- assymetry
- one to many structural cavity, no true body cavity
porifera organ systesm
support from gelatinous mesoglea
porifera special cells
- choanocytes–food capture
porifera feeding
- fliter feeding
- no digestive organs
- intracellular digestion only
porifera reproduction
- sexual
- hermaphrodites
- sperm dispersed into water
- external fertilization
- zygotes develop into mobile larva
- planktonic larval stage
- asexual
- fission
- fragmentation
porifera ecological niches
- primary consumer
- planktivore
- rarely eaten
porifera habitat
aquatic (mostly marine)
phylum cnidaria
common name: jellies, corals, anemones, hydroids
cnidaria tissues?
- yes, diploblastic
- ectoderm and endoderm
- mesoglea between
cnidaria symmetry
radial
cnidaria cavities
one–gastrovascular
cnidaria organ systems
mouth and tentacles
cnidaria special cells
- cnidocyte
- stinging cells of jellyfish
cnidaria feeding
- suspension feeding
- mass feeding
- photoautotropic symbionts
cnidaria reproduction
- budding, fission, fragmentation
- sexual w/ external fertalization
cnidaria habitat/echological niches
- freshwater, marine
- planktonic (drifting)
- or benthic (bottom-living)
- corals may be solitary or reef-building
coral bleaching
- coral ejects algae that causes color
- CO2 in atmosphere is absorbed in ocean and makes water more acidic by creating carbonic acid
- changes in ocean chemistry can disrupt entire food web
why study protosomes?
- major ecologic consumers
- medical models
- economic impact
- diversity
bilatarian synapomorphies
- bilateral symmetry
- cephalization
- triploblasty (+mesoderm)
- coelom variously developed
coelom
- fluid-filled body cavity
- contributes to ‘tube w/in a tube’ body plan
- lined by mesoderm
- distinct from gut
coelomate
acoelomate
pseudocoelomate
pseudocoelom surrounded by muscle layer
coelom function
- cushion (protection)
- spaces for organs
- isolate simultaneous body functions
-
hydrostatic skeleton
- fluid filled cavity against which muscles can contract
Bilaterians are divided into two lineages based on
- blastopore fate
- coelom development
Lophotrochozoa characteristics
- clade w/in protostomes
- protosomes
- synapomorphy-genetic sequences —hox genes and rRNA
lophophore
a horseshoe-shaped structure bearing ciliated tentacles around the mouth in some lophotrochozoa
phylum platyhelminthes
flatworms, master parasites
platyhelminthes synapomorphy
genetic sequences
platyhelminthes habitat
aquatic and animal bodies
platyhelminthes cavity
gastrovascular/no cavity
platyhelminthes coelom?
acoelomate
Platyhelminthes reproduction
- sexual
- internal fertilization
- oviparous
- asexual
- parthenogenic
parasite adaptation
- small size & more surface area
- absorption of nutrients across body wall
- very high fertility
- complex lifecycles w/ intermediate host
phylum rotifera
- “wheel animals”
- tiny aquatic predators
