One way/ complete gut: two openings (mouth and anus), food moves in two directions
Processing gut: one way gut

20

A

No coelom

22
Q

Pseudocoelomate

A

23
Q

Cephalization

A

Concentration of nervous and sensory tissues at one end of the body - bilaterally symmetrical organisms

24
Q

Causes of animal diversification

A
  • high oxygen levels in atmosphere at start of Cambrian explosion
  • more food availability leads to more feeding strategies
  • predation feeding strategy leads to evolution of protective structure, rapid movement, sensory organs in prey animals
  • new niches lead to more niches
  • evolution of “genetic toolkit”
25
Q

Cnidocytes

A

Specialized cells that define Cnidaria

26
Q

Bilateria

A

All animals except sponges, cnidarians, cnetophores

27
Q

Protostomes and deuterostomes are different developmentally because…

A
  • fate of blastopore, pro: mouth, deu: anus
  • early cell cleavage, pro: spiral cleavage deu: radial cleavage
  • cell rate determination pro: determinate cleavage deu: indeterminate cleavage
28
Q

Determinate cleavage

A

Asymmetrical distribution of cyptoplasm between daughter cells, removing one cell kills the embryo, mosaic cleavage

29
Q

Indeterminate cleavage

A

Symmetrical distribution of cyptoplasm, splitting embryo results in twins, regulative cleavage
