1
Q

What are Invertebrates?

A
  • Animals that lack vertebra or backbone.
  • Often soft-bodied but some produce protective covering called exoskeleton.
  • They do not develop a notochord during embryogenesis.

Q

Making minerals and organic material available again to plants and other animals.

○ In the soil, earthworms and other invertebrates play crucial roles in the decomposition of organic matter.

- Improve the drainage, aeration and composition of the soil, thus enabling plant growth.
- The decomposition of dead plants and animals including dung and fallen wood relies upon invertebrates (soil scientists and soil engineers)

Q

They are of great taxonomic importance,

Providing clues on the progression of evolution.

They are the genetic basis for evolutionary shifts in morphology and life history

A

Baseline data on biodiversity.

22
Q

It is more ethical to use them in laboratories because they’re much simpler organisms.

A

Model species.

23
Q

Studies about invertebrates have taught us what (Model Species)?

A

control of gene expression,

design embryonic development,

control of phenotypic plasticity,

wound repair,

cell division

24
Q

Detailed studies on crustacean and insect navigation and how their locomotion is controlled and coordinated may lead to design of new robots—flying, crawling.

A

Robotics

25
Q

Studies about them have taught us what we know about Medical importance

A

immune recognition systems,

prophyllaxis,

control of epidemics,

genetic basis for disposition to some diseases (type II diabetes).

26
Q

Many diseases of humans and animals and plants upon which we are dependent on are caused by invertebrates.

Source of biomedical substances

Spider and snail venom as specific chemical probes for studying nerve and muscle function| opening and closing of ion channels.

A

Medical importance

27
Q

Adhesives

A

onychophorans

barnacles

spiders

bivalves

28
Q

Anti-corrosion agents

A

barnacle cements

29
Q

30
Q

Anti-aging and anti-microbial properties

A

31
Q

Aesthetics

A

oyster

pearls,

shells

The pink sand in Great Sta. Cruz Island in Zamboanga which is a tourist attraction is due to crushed Tubipora musica pipe coral.

32
Q

Abiotic synthesis

A

organic molecules into monomers (amino acids, nucleotides);

		Supported by the miller-urey experiment
33
Q

True or False

RNA have evolved first than DNA because of its enzymatic activity or catalytic activity

A

True

Can carry hereditary processes on its own

First molecule of heredity

Single stranded = easily damaged, unstable

34
Q

Monomers into polymers

A

Amino acids = proteins
Nucleotides = nucleic acids

Fatty acids = lipids

Simple sugars/monomeric = carbs

35
Q

36
Q

A

Cyanobacteria by using CO2 and sunlight

37
Q

endosymbiont (endosymbiotic) theory

A

popularized by Lynn Margulis.

mitochondria and plastids (a general term for chloroplasts and related organelles) were formerly small prokaryotes that began living within larger cells.

Energy processing prokaryotes engulfed by another prokaryote

38
Q

A

mitochondria evolved before plastids through a sequence of endosymbiotic events

  • Asexual
A

Plasmotomy

42
Q

43
Q

Bauplan

A

unifying features despite the overwhelming diversity of life into basic design or ground plan

44
Q

Classification by Cell Number

A

acellular
- Exist without a cellular structure for at least part of its life cycle

unicellular
- single-celled

multicellular

  • many-celled
  • “true animals” ;
  • referred collectively as “metazoans”;
45
Q

Classification by Body Symmetry

A

Asymmetrical-

Radially symmetrical

Bilaterally symmetrical

46
Q

Asymmetrical-

A

▪ no body axis or plane of symmetry;

- amorphous (no ordered pattern to their gross morphology)
- No determinate form
47
Q

Radially symmetrical

A

▪ can be divided into two approximately equal halves by any cut that passes through its center;
▪ has no front or back end;
▪ The body parts are arranged radially around a central oral and aboral end;
▪ Radiata
-Starfish

48
Q

Bilaterally symmetrical

A

▪ possess right and left sides that are mirror images of each of the mirror image is produced when slice is parallel to the animal’s longitudinal axis passing down the midline;
Bilateria;

49
Q

concentration of nervous and sensory tissues and organs at one end ⟶ distinct anterior and posterior end

mouth, sense organs, and nerve ganglia become concentrated at the front end of an animal, producing a head region

A

cephalization

50
Q

formation of similar body segments called metameres or somites

division of some animal and plant body plans into a series of repetitive segments

A

segmentation/metamerism

51
Q

fusion of 2 or more segments to form distinct structures;

group of metameres form a specialized unit and perform a specific function
