what is an animal?
multicellular, heterotrophs, tissues, digestive system, nerve and muscle cells, developmental pathways, lack cell wall, move and detect and capture prey
nutritional mode
plants: autotrophs, fungi: absorptive heterotrophs, animals: ingestive heterotrophs
animals
multicellular eukaryote
collagen
animal cells are supported by these structural proteins
tissues
groups of similar cells that act as. functional unit, nervous tissue and muscle tissue are unique
reproduction
most reproduce sexually, with diploid stage dominating, sperm and eggs produced directly by meiotic division
development of animal zygotes
undergo cleavage: succession of cell division without growth between divisions, then formation of bastula: form of hollow ball of cells, then undergo gastrulation: forming gastrula with different layers of embryonic tissues
body plan symmetry
radial vs bilateral
radial symmetry
no front and back or left and right (cnidaria)
bilateral symmetry
only one imaginary cut divides the animal into mirror-image halves (remaining animal groups)
animal classification by embryo cleavage
protostome (cleavage spirally, determinate), deuterostome (cleavage radically, indeterminate)
animal classification- tissues
tissues are collections of specialized cells isolated from other tissues by membranous layers; three germ layers give rise to tissues and organs of animal embryos: ectoderm, endoderm, mesoderm
embryonic layers of sponges/porifera
lack true tissues
diploblastic
have two: ectoderm and endoderm; includes cnidarians and few others
tripoblastic
endoderm, ectoderm, and intervening mesoderm layer; includes all bilaterians
