Lecture 22 & 23 Lophotrochozoa Flashcards
1
Q
which clade do most animals belong to?
A
- bilatera
- have triploblastic symmetry
2
Q
what is phylum acoela?
A
- basal bilaterans
- mostly marine worms
- aceolomates – no body cavities
- flat, minimal cephalization, no brain
- no anus, no gut cavity – endocellular digestion instead, use endocytosis to strip off food
3
Q
what are lophotrochozoa?
what does it include (6)
A
- identified by molecular data
- widest range of animal body forms
- some develop lophophores for feeding
- others pass through trochophore larval stage, some have neither
- includes: platyhelminthes, rotifers, ectoprocts, brachiopoda, mollusca, annelids
4
Q
what does the clade bilatera include?
A
lophotrochozoa, ecdysozoa, deuterstomia
5
Q
what is phylum platyhelminthes?
A
- flatworms
- triploblastic
- acoelomate
- do not have a complete digestive system – have a mouth and a gut lumen but no anus
- no special circulatory or gas exchange system
6
Q
what are two classes in platyhelminthes?
A
- class turbellaria
- class cestodia
7
Q
what is class turbellaria?
A
- platyhelminthes
- free living flatworms
- mostly predatory
- epidermis covered by cilia
- have ventral nerve cords
- a pair of ganglia
- gastrovascular cavity with no anal opening
8
Q
what is class cestodia?
A
- platyhelminthes
- tapeworms
- entirely parasitic
- lack digestive system
- scolex – front of body modified for holding onto host’s gut – suckers and hooks
- proglottids – long chain of segments devoted to reprodution
9
Q
what are proglottids?
A
- in class cestodia – tapeworms — devoted to reproduction, mature proglottids are filled with eggs
10
Q
what are proglottids?
A
- in class cestodia – tapeworms — devoted to reproduction, mature proglottids are filled with eggs
11
Q
what is the life cycle of cestodia?
A
complex
- need an intermediate host and a definite host
12
Q
what is phylum rotifera?
A
- tiny animals that inhabit fresh water, ocean, damp soil
- truly multicellular and have specialized organ systems
- have an alimentary canal – a digestive tube with separate mouth and anus
- fluid-filled pseudocoelom
- reproduce using parthogenesis: females produce offspring via unfertilized eggs
13
Q
what are the two lophophorates in lophotrochozoa?
what are characteristics of lophophorates?
A
- ectoprocts
- brachiopods
- have lophophores, which is a crown of tentacles around their mouth
- true coelom
14
Q
what is phylum brachiopoda?
A
lophophorate
- lamp shells
- superficially resemble bivalve mulluscs
15
Q
what is phylum brachiopoda?
A
lophophorate
- lamp shells
- superficially resemble bivalve mulluscs
- attach to sea floor by a stalk
- complete gut with anal opening
- suspension feed using paired lophophores
