Exam 3 (Ch. 32-40) Flashcards
Animal Characteristics
Animals are all multicellular
Animals are all chemoheterotrophs
Most animals ingest their food
Animals have no cell walls
Animals use structural proteins for support
Most animals have a nervous system
Most animals have a muscular system
Most animals utilize sexual reproduction, although asexual reproduction is not rare
Animals have a small, motile and flagellated, male reproductive cell – the sperm
Animals have a large non-motile female reproductive cell – the egg
Zygote
Diploid cell made up of the 2 haploid reproductive cells, the sperm and the egg
Blastula
A multicellular hollow ball formed from the cleavage of the zygote
Gastrula
Formed from gastrulation, it’s when embryonic tissues are formed (i.e. endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm)
Parazoa
Animals without true tissues
Sponges are the only living kind
Eumetazoa
Animals with true tissues
Every animal besides sponges
Ectoderm
Outer layer of embryonic tissue formed from gastrulation. Ends up forming the outer covering of animals
Endoderm
Inner layer of embryonic tissue formed from gastrulation. Ends up forming the digestive tract and the associated organs of the digestive tract
Mesoderm
Layer of tissue in between the endoderm and ectoderm formed from gastrulation. Forms the muscles and organs
NOT found in radiata (cnidarians and ctenophores)
Acoelomates
Animals that have a solid body with no cavities between the layers of tissue (e.g. flatworms)
Pseudocoelomates
Have a cavity between the endoderm and mesoderm (e.g. roundworms)
Coelomates
Have a body cavity surrounded by the mesoderm (e.g. humans)
Protostomes
One group of coelomates based on its embryonic development: zygote cleavage is spiral and determinate
Blastopore develops into mouth
Deuterstomes
One group of coelomates based on its embryonic development: zygote cleavage is radial and indeterminate
Blastopore develops into anus
Cotyledon
Seed Leaf
Monocot
One cotyledon (seed leaf) Parallel veins in leaf Scattered vascular bundles in stem Fibrous root systems (usually) Flower parts in threes
Eudicot
Two cotyledons (seed leaves) Veins usually net-like Vascular bundles arranged in a ring Taproot usually present Flower parts in fours or fives
Taproot
A long vertical root with small lateral roots
Shoot System
Stems are divided into nodes and internodes
Nodes
Where the leaves are attached
Internodes
The are between 2 nodes
Axillary Bud
Located at the intersection of stem and leaf
