Q

What is fragmentation?

A

piece broken off that can reattach somewhere else or form/grow own its own but still be genetically the same
(clumsy scuba diver example)

25
Q

Porifera contain No

A

neurons or nervous system to transmit electrical signals to other cells

26
Q

What does porifera have in place of neurons?

A
  • Contain genes for proteins that help neurons function
  • even though they don’t have neurons they have the genetic coding that would allow evolution to potentially allow it to happen

(Important for understanding evolution of nervous system)

27
Q

Porifera are able to do Cellular communication _________

A

-in feeding

28
Q

Porifera are able to process _______________.

A

-sensory information

ie- Larval cilia can respond to light

29
Q

What two ways (traits) do sponges differentiate from other animals based on what they lack?

A

-They lack tissue although they do have cellular organization
(A group of similar cells organized into a separate functional unit)

-They lack symmetry (which means they cannot be cut into equal halves). Instead they are asymmetrical.

30
Q

tissue

A

A group of similar cells organized into a separate functional unit

31
Q

Symmetry

A

Can be cut to create equal haves

32
Q

What evolutionary traits evolved prior to Cnidaria?

A

1) radial symmetry
2) nervous system
3) tissues evolve

33
Q

What are the two types of symmetry?

A
  • Radial Symmetry

- bilateral symmetry

34
Q

Radial symmetry

A

a plane through the center in any direction will bisect the organism in equal halves

35
Q

Bilateral Symmetry

A

only a single plane will bisect the organism into equal halves

36
Q

What are the advantages of bilateral symmetry?

A

-Allows for front, back, top, and bottom
-Importantly leads to cephalization: trend
towards having a head
a) Sensory organs can be concentrated in one
end and side
b) Often associated with a central nervous
system (and brain)

37
Q

Cnidaria are the first animals to have cells organized into _________ layers.

A

tissue

38
Q

Cnidaria two body forms

A

polyp (individual pieces of coral and medusa

39
Q

extracellular digestion (stomach) was made possible by what evolutionary trait?

A

tissue layers evolving (Cnidaria)

40
Q

How many species of Cnidarians?

A

10,000

41
Q

The types of Cnidaria

A

Anthozoa (Corals and anemones)

Scyphozoa (Swimming jellyfish)

Staurozoa (Stalked jellyfish)

Cubozoa (Box jellyfish)

Hydrozoa (Hydroids & siphonophore)

42
Q

Planula

A

cnidarian larvae

43
Q

What two things evolved after Cnidaria but before protostomes and deuterostomes?

A
  • anus

- coelom

44
Q

Acoelomate

A

no coelom

ie - Sponges, Cnidaria, Flatworms (Platyhelminthes)

45
Q

The coelom

A

A body cavity that is surrounded by mesoderm tissue

46
Q

Pseudocoelomate

A

body cavity, but not fully
surrounded by mesoderm

ie - rotifers, round worms (Nematodes)

47
Q

Coelomate

A

-has coelom

ie - Some protostomes and all deuterostomes

48
Q

In coelomates the mesoderm surrounds…

A

the cavity AND the digestive tract, fully enclosing the cavity

49
Q

Why was the evolution of the body cavity useful?

A

1) CUSHIONS organs: Organs can FUNCTION without being deformed by surrounding muscles
2) Can function as a simple CIRCULATORY system
3) Can act as SKELETON: Earthworms’ contains noncompressible fluids (=hydrostatic skeleton)

4) Enables internal organs to GROW INDEPENDENTLY of the outer body wall
• Longer, coiled gut
• Heartbeat doesn’t warp bodies surface

50
Q

In humans coelom is divided into two…

A

The thoracic and abdominal cavities

51
Q

Protostomes and Deuterostomes are divided based on their…

A

-early embryonic development.

52
Q

Protostomes and Deuterostomes are divided based on their early embryonic development. The key difference is…

A

where the mouth forms

53
Q

“proto”

A

“proto”= 1st

54
Q

“deutero”

A

“deutero”= 2nd

55
Q

“stome”

A

“stome” =mouth

56
Q

Protostomes Mouth forms from the…

A

Blastopore

57
Q

Deuterostomes mouth forms from a…

A

secondary opening

58
Q

ctenophores

A
Comb Jellies
• Nervous system and muscle cells
• Upward mouth
• Rotational symmetry : mirror image only when
rotated 180°
• Fully pelagic life cycle
