Lab 8 Flashcards
includes organisms that are eukaryotic multicelled heterotrophs
Kingdom Animalia
capable of movement
motile
permanently attached or immobile
sessile
reproduction involving fusion of gametes (egg and sperm); the most common form of reproduction
sexual reproduction
early embryonic stage unique to animals; hollow ball stage
blastula
reproduction including budding and fragmentation
asexual reproduction
groups of like cells that perform a specific function
tissues
What do tissues group to form?
organs
List two examples of an organ.
heart, stomach
Organs link into ___ to more efficiently perform functions, such as distribution of blood or digestion.
organ systems
animals without a backbone; most animals are this
invertebrates
animals which have vertebrae/backbones
chordates
animals lacking symmetry
asymmetrical
Give an example of an asymmetrical animal.
most sponges
symmetry with body parts arranged around a central axis
radial symmetry
List some examples of a radially symmetrical animal.
other sponges, jellyfish, adult sea stars, a hydra
symmetry where the sides of the body are mirror images; linked to cephalization
bilateral symmetry
What is the most common type of symmetry in animals?
bilateral symmetry
the concentration of sensory structures in the head
cephalization
Give an example of an animal with bilateral symmetry.
a crayfish
animal-like protists
protozoa
the mouth, which brings in food and releases waste, is the only opening; a sac-like gut
incomplete gut
has both a mouth and an anus with a tubular digestive tract between; called a one-way gut
complete gut
Which type of gut is more efficient?
complete gut
organisms that lack a body cavity
acoelomates
a fluid-filled space within the body, lined on the outside with muscle tissue, surrounding the unsupported gut; a false body cavity
pseudocoelom
a fluid-filled cavity surrounded by muscle tissue
true coelom
include annelids, arthropods, echinoderms, and chordates (regarding lack/presence of body cavity)
coelomates
characteristics include: multicellular heterotrophic organisms, typically motile at some point during their life cycle, most common mode of reproduction is sexual (sperm and ova)
Kingdom Animalia
pores that lead into the spongocoel
ostia
