final- part 1 Flashcards
in what period did animals undergo diversification
paelazoic
from what type of organism did multicellular animals most
likely evolve?
cyanobacteria- blue green sea bacteria
list 4 key evolutionary branch points in the polygenetic tree of animals
presence or absence of tissues;body symmetry; coelom;embryonic development of true coelom
What is a body cavity?
a fluid filled space in the body that holds and protects vital organs
True tissues
ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm
body symmetry
radial and bilateral
coelom
fluid-filled space separating digestive tract from the outer body wall=> led to complex animals
embryonic developmental processes of true coelom
schizoceoly and enteroceoly
what is phylum Porifera
sea sponge
things to know abt phylum porifera
-mostly marine
-asymmetric and sessile
-reproduces asexually (fragmentation) and sexually (Hermaphroditism)
-lack of true tissue= cannot form organs
-filter feeders
Poriferas specialized cells
Choanocyte
amoebocyte
what are phylum Cnidaria
jellyfish, coral, hydraes
things to know about phylum cnidaria
-mostly marine
-radial symmetry
-2 tissue layers= ecto and endoderm
-incomplete digestive tract/only has a stomach cavity
-sexual reproduction and asexual (budding)
-carnivorous with stinging cells or tentacles (cnidoblasts)
terms to note
-outer layer of cell= ectoderm
-inner layer of cell= endoderm
-white space in the middle= hollow body cavity
-parthenogenesis = only female species
what are phylum Platyhelminthes
flatworms, free-living flukes, and tapeworms
