final animals Flashcards
Animal key concepts
Animals are multicellular, heterotrophic, eukaryotes with tissues that develop from embryonic layers
animals are very-
diverse
Kingdom animalia
a monophyletic kingdom of multicellular organisms within the eukaryotes
Characteristics of (typical) animals
Nutritional mode
Cell structure and Specialization
-Unique cell types
reproduction and development
Animals Nutritional mode
– Heterotrophs
– Ingest food
Cell structure and Specialization
Collagen is the main structural protein in animals
Unique cell types
– Nerve cells
– Muscle cells
– Usually surrounded by membranes
Reproduction and development
Most animals reproduce sexually
- Diploid stage usually dominant
Exceptions for reproduction and development
- Some animals can/must reproduce asexually
-animals where there is only females
In some animals, the haploid stage dominates:
Do animals have cell walls?
no, so they have structural proteins instead, like collagen
Early animal development
Sperm fertilizes egg
– Small, flagellated sperm and large, non-motile egg
- Zygote undergoes rapid cell division called cleavage
- Cleavage leads to formation of a blastula
- Blastula undergoes gastrulation, forming a
gastrula with different layers of embryonic tissues
Embryonic tissue layers give rise to different tissues:
the Endoderm of the archenteron gives rise to the tissue lining the
digestive tract
Gastrulation
process in which one end of the embryo folds inward, expands and fills blastocoel, producing a hole
gametocytes
specific subclass of meiocyte cuz product produced is a gamete
gametes
sperm and eggs
normally diploid stage is-
dominant
parthenogenesis
produces female colonial lineages
Cephalization
movement of sensory organs to anterior
What is the blastula?
a hollow ball of cells, produced by cleavage after zygote
What does coel mean on blastcoel
empty room
What are the holes on animals
1 hole = gastrovascular cavity
2 holes = mouth, and anus
diploblastic animals
has 2 embryotic layers
-endoderm and ectoderm
-simplest animals with true tissues
-mainly jellyfish
What are the three embryotic layers
ectoderm
endoderm
mesoderm
Larval stage(s)
Many (most) animals have at least one larval
stage
completely different when adults - butterfly’s
What defines a larval stage?
Sexually immature
Morphology
Nutrition
metamorphosis
