Lecture 9: Animal Diversity Flashcards
What defines an animal? (5)
1) multicellular
2) heterotrophic
3) No cell wall
4) Self propelled movement (muscle cell)
5) Neurons (all but sponges)
What does an animal have in place of a cell wall?
ECM: Extracellular matrix which provides structure
What is the ECM typically composed of?
- proteins
- glycoproteins
- collagen
What allows cells to communicate with each other (in animals)?
Neurons
Describe Lophotrochozoans (worms) growth?
grow incrementally
What are the three types of Lophotrochozoans?
1) Platyhelminthes
2) Annelida
3) Mollusca
How do Ecdysozoans grow?
Grow by molting.
What are two types of Ecdysozoans?
1) Nemotoda
2) Arthopoda
What is molting?
-shedding external layer
What are the two types of protostomes?
- Lophotrochozoans
- Ecdysozoans
One easy way to think of the difference between protostomes and Deuterostomes?
protostomes don’t really have a skeleton whereas Deuterostomes have an internal skeleton.
Basal
originate near the root of the phylogenetic tree
Porifera
(sponges)
1st animal
Porifera traits
- multicellular
- ECM: Extracellular matrix
- heterotrophic (Suspension feeder)
- Movement
- No Neurons
What are the two types of Extracellular Matrix (ECM)?
1) Hard
• Spicules- provide skeletal structure from Calcium carbonate or silica
2) Flexible
• Collagen, spongin
Chanocytes
flagellate cell that creates current and engulfs food particles
Sexual reproduction
genetic recombination through sperm and eggs
Sponges are ____________
hermaphrodites
hermaphrodites
- an individual can produce both male (sperm) and female (egg) gametes
What allows larvae to swim?
Modified chanocytes allow larvae to swim
Porifera types of reproduction?
- sexual reproduction
- asexual reproduction
Asexual reproduction
produce genetic clones of parent
ie -Budding or fragmentation
What is budding?
offshooting
