Origin And Evolution Of Animals Flashcards
Metazoa
“Later animals”; shared derived traits include heterotrophic, sexual reproduction, multicellular, and movement
Chanoflagellates
Not animals but have similar traits; protists; aggregate into colonies
Poriferans
Simplest animals; cells not organized into tissues and move briefly in life cycle but mostly sessile; asymmetrical; filter feed using chanocytes
Choanocyte
Filter feed
Amoebocyte
Part of a sponge; freely move throughout the sponge body and performs any task; can also divide into other things
What are two things that make a sponge?
Choanocyte and Amoebocyte
What are the three major body plans?
No symmetry, radial symmetry, and bilateral symmetry
Radial symmetry
Same thing on every direction/side
Bilateral symmetry
Cut in half -> same layout on either side (mirror)
Do sponges have tissues?
No, but other animals (eumetazoans) have tissues
What are the four tissues?
Nervous, epithelial, connective, and muscle
Cnidaria
Coral, jellyfish, and sea amenity; use tissue to coordinate movement; radial symmetry; carnivorous, presence of diploblastic embryo, two forms: sessile polyp and motile medusa
Diploblastic embryo
Two germ layers
Sessile polyp
Non-moving, tentacles on top; Ex: coral
Motile Medusa
Moving; tentacles on the bottom; Ex: jellyfish
Lophotrochoza
Annelids, molluscs, platyhelminths; protocols development; has two larvae stages: lophophore and trochophore; larvae stages have cilia or gills for movement and filter feeding
