Final Flashcards
Advantages and disadvantages of ocean life
Advantages: Stable temperatures Buoyancy provided Plentiful food and waste removal Fluid and salt gradients easily maintained
Disadvantages:
Currents - water movement
When and where animal life began
~540 million years ago (Precambrian)
First in shallow marine environments
Cambrian explosion
Disadvantages of life in fresh water
Variable:
Temperature
Turbidity - light
Volume
Less food
Hypotonic
Disadvantages of terrestrial
Desiccation
Larger temperature variability
Gametes and embryos need protection
Characteristics common to animals
Heterotrophic
Multicellular
Specialized cells without cell walls
Locomotion at some time
Nervous and muscular systems for rapid response to stimuli
Sexual reproduction w/ non motile egg and flagellated sperm
6 key transitions in animal body plans.
Evolution of
- Tissues
- Symmetry
- Body cavity
- Blastopore differentiation
- Skeletal support structures
- Segmentation
Table 32.1 - 32.4
Hetertrophy Multicellularity No cell walls Active movement Diversity in form Diversity in habitat Sexual reproduction Embryonic development Tissues
6 key transitions in body plans for animals
- Tissues
- Symmetry
- Body cavity
- Blastopore differentiation
- Skeletal support structures
- Segmentation
Parazoa
Asymmetrical sponges
Phylum Porifera
Multicellular Lack tissues Asymmetrical Noncoelomate Sessile
Choanocytes
Spongecoel
Osculum
Asco/syco/leuconoid bodies
Filter feeders
Intracellular digestion
Asexual fragmentation
Hermaphroditic
Phylum Cnidaria
Radial symmetry Acoelomate Specialized tissues Diploblastic Cnidocytes Extra cellular digestion
3 classes:
Anthozoa - Corals & Anemones
Hydrozoa - Hydra & man-o-war
Scyphozoa - Jellyfish
Characteristics of Lophotrochozoa
Lophophore
No molting
3 phyla: Platyhelminthes, Mollusca, Annelida
Characteristics of Ecdysozoa
Ecdysis - molting of cuticle
2 phyla: Arthropoda and Nematoda
Phylum Platyhelminthes
Flatworms Acoelomate Bilateral symmetry Cephalization Triploblastic Organs Many hermaphroditic Cuticles in parasites
3 classes:
Turbellaria - free-living flatworms
Trematoda - parasitic flukes
Cestoda - parasitic tapeworms
Class Turbellaria
Free-living flatworms Carnivorous Auricles Muscular pharynx Sexual hermaphroditism Asexual regeneration
Class Trematoda
Parasitic flukes
Hooks and suckers
Ecto/endoparasitism
Complex life cycle
Intermediate host
Dead end host
Swimmers itch
Class Cestoda
Parasitic tapeworms Sextoda Ribbon-like Scolex Proglottids
Phylum Nematoda
Round worms Nemo-round Pseudocoelomate Bilateral symmetry Triploblastic Cuticle Parasitic
Decomposers and predators of bacteria
Numerous in soil, fresh and salt water.
Phylum Mollusca
Soft body - Mollusca
Clams
Usually covered by shell
Lack segmentation
4 classes:
Gastropoda - snails
Bivalvia - mussels
Cephalopoda - octopus
Economically:
Food, mother of pearl, & zebra mussels
Class Bivalvia
"Two shells" Mussels Hinged 2-part shell Suspension feeders Spade-like foot
Class Gastropoda
"Stomach foot" Foot - locomotion Visceral mass - organs Mantle - secretes shell Shell - protection Eye stalks & tentacles Grazers Terrestrial
Class Cephalopoda
"Head foot" Squids Coiled, internal, or no shell Foot divided into tentacles Stream lined locomotion via siphons Chromatophores - cells w/ pigment granules Ink sac - carries ink Predators
Nutrition:
Carnivorous
Horny beak for tearing
