Kingdom Animalia Flashcards
Invertebrates
Animals without backbone, accounts for 95 % of animals
What two categories of animals is kingdom animalia divided into
Invertebrates and vertebrates
Vertebrates
Animals with backbone
Invertebrates can be grouped based on their …
Fossils, body symmetry, patterns of embryo development, ribosomal RNA
What’s body symmetry
Arrangement of body parts in which parts that lie on opposite sides of an axis are identical
What are the types of symmetry
Assymetrical, bilateral, radial
Asymmetrical , example
Do not display symmetry , sponges, coral
Radial, ex
Parts are arranged in a circle around axis , sea anemone, starfish
Bilateral, ex, what do they have
Two similar halves in either side of a central plane, earthworm, exhibit ceohalization, have a dorsal and ventral, have anterior and posterior
Exhibit cephalization
Concentration of senses and nerves in the head (ganglia-simple brain)
Dorsal and ventral
Back, front
Anterior and posterior
Head, tail
Germ layers
Tissue layer in embryo
What germ layers do most animals have, except for what animal, what animals have two layers
Ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm , sponges, cnidarians and ctenophores
Cnidarians and ctenophores have no…
Middle layer
What develops from germ layers
Organs and tissues
Acoelomates, ex
Do not have body cavity, interior of the animal is solid, flatworms
Pseudocoelomates, ex
Have a false body cavity, roundworms and rotifers
Coelomates, ex
Have a true body cavity lined with mesoderm, mollusks, annelids, arthopods, echinoderms, chordates
Cleavage
Development of the mouth
