Lecture 19 Flashcards
characteristics of clade bacteria
-have bilateral symmetry
-varying degrees of cephalization
-triploblastic
What are Clade Lophotrochozoa
-range from very simple worms to complex octopuses
-include 18 phyla
What are Phylum Platyhelminthes
-flatworms
-breath through their skin
-don’t have complete digestive system
What are Endoparasites
A parasite that lives inside its host (ex. tapeworm)
no digestive system, absorb nutrients through thin body wall
what are Proglottids
long unit chains on tape worms devoted to reproduction
4 steps of the lifecycle of a tapeworm
- eggs consumed by intermediate host (IH)
- eggs develop into larvae that encyst in tissues of IH
- intermediate host eaten by definitive host (DH)
- larvae develop into adult tapeworm in gut of DH
Define Definitive host and Intermediate host
Definitive host: parasite undergoes sexual reproduction
Intermediate host: parasite undergoes asexual reproduction
Characteristics of Annelids (segmented worms)
- Segmented
- Eucoelomate
- gas exchange via skin diffusion
- have complete digestive system with anus
What are sedentarias
sendentary=less mobile
-burrow in soil
-free spawning: egg & sperm released into water, fertilization occurs outside body of parent
characteristics of earthworms
-simultaneous hermaphrodites
-transfer sperm by copulation
-fertilization is external
-direct development (no larval)
