Origin of animals and choanoflagellates Flashcards
choanoflagellates
aquatic, filter feed on bacteria, snyap: collar of sticky tentacles
major early animals
sponges, ctenophores, cnidarians, lophotrochozoa, Ecdysozoa, Echinoderms, chordates
protostomes
blastophore- mouth
lophotrochozoa, ecdysozoans
deuterostomes
blastophore- anus
echinoderms, chordates
Eumetozoa
All animals except for sponges
synapomorphy: tissues( nerves + muscles), symmetry of body plan, internal gastrovascular system
Ctenophores
comb jellies all marine,radial symmetry
synapomorphy: 8 combs
cnidaria
jelly fish, hydras, anemones, corals etc.
all aquatic, radial symmetry– polp or medusa
synap: cnidocytes, explosive stinging, adhesive walls
polyp: tentacles up
medusa: tentacles down
Jellyfish
medusa
stinging tentacles, some release of gametes in ocean
hydra
polyp
some solitary
catch pray with tentacles
Anemones + corals
both polyp
symbiosis with dinoflagellates
Lophotrochozoa
Synap: feeding tentacles, cephalization of interior brain , DNA
Flatworms, Annelids, Mollusks
Flatworms
acoelomate, blind gut, mouth + anus is the same openiing
- flatworms, tapeworms, flukes
Annelids
Synap: segmentation
coelomate, closed cir system, digestive tube with 2 openings
Mollusks
almost all aquatic, coelomate, digestive w 2 openings
- Muscular foot, visceral mass, mantle
Bivalves
clams, scallops, mussels
muscular foot: burrowing/hiding
visceral mass- w/in two shells
mantle- above and below
