Animals Defined
“kingdom of consumers”
ingestive heterotrophs (mouth)
tissues, groups of specialized cells > nerve and muscle for sensation
digestive system ( one whole)
modes of nutrition (animals)
All animals are heterotrophs
but some can be autotrophs and mixotrophs
exceptions to mode of nutrition
autotrophs animal: emerald green slug algae does PSN stores food and uses it for camoflauge
heterotrophic plant : venus fly trap carnivore
Comparting and contrasting eukaryotes
Animals do not have a cell wall
protist (sometimes Fungi) don’t have tissues
motile > all but plants and fungi
Muscle tissue
Movement types differ in location and method of control
intentional/voluntary vs autopilot/involuntary)
skeletal muscle, smooth muscle , cardiac muscle
Nervous tissue
Makes up the “nervous system” also in voluntary
functions: Detect info, process info, trigger response.
Animal reproduction
mostly sexual, producing either eggs or sperm.
Sexual reproduction: preceded by meiosis
Fertilization: restores the correct amount of external, can be internal or external
Basics of Animal Development
Mitosis: produces more cells, zygote
Blastula: hollow ball of cells, cavity = blastocoel
Gastrula: gastrulationion, form layers of tissue
Evolutionary History of animals
spans 500+ million years
incredible morphological diversity
earliest, simplest animals originated 700 mya
common ancestor tp all animals 770 mya
Eukaryote tree of life
our closest non-animal relatives= choanoflagelates
Choanoflagellates
Closest living relatives of animals
suspension feeders
flagella agitate water
collar traps food
all unicellular may live in colonies
Choanocytes
found in sponges feeding cells
also found in jellies flatworms , sea stars
Origin of multicellular animals
Requires new way for cells to adhere: animals lack of cell walls –> develop alternatives
Requires new ways for cells to commincate :
involve proteins/molecules on the cells surface to send and receive messages
Allow for functional specialization of cells: Certain cells are given particular functions ( skin cells –> protection, somach cells> digestion
Neoproterozoic (1bya-541 mya)
first macroscopic animal fossils
classified as mollusks and or cnidarians
early for predation (predation)
evidence for early defense (shells)
Paleozoic (541-252 mya)
includes Cambrian explosion
fossils contain representatives of about half of all extant animal groups
includes bilareran with two sided symmetry
vertebrates emrge
