Q

how do we define an animal?

A
  • multicellular
  • ingestive heterotrophs (absorb material and break it down for nutrients)
  • don’t have cell walls (plasma membrane but no cell wall)

Q

what does heterotrophs mean?

A

can’t produce energy on their own, therefore need to consume something internally and break it down for energy

Q

what are desmosomes? where can they be found? how do they help?

A
  • special structures in animal cells that act like a glue to hold cells together
  • found in tissues that experience a lot of stretching or stress (like skin or heart muscle)
  • help keep cells firmly attached to each other, which provides strength and stability to the tissue

Q

what is blastopore?

A

the opening of the archenteron (developing digestive gut)
- depending on the type of animal, blastopore can develop into either the mouth or anus

104
