Test 2 Flashcards
how are animals defined?
multicellular
heterotrophic
diploid
reproduce by oogamy
five key transitions of animal evolution
tissues
symmetry
body cavities
developmental patterns
segmentation
parazoa definition
lack defined tissues and organs
can aggregate / disaggregate
eumetazoa definition
distinct well-defined tissues
irreversible differentiation of cells
two distinct layers (ecto/endo)
tissue types of eumetazoan organisms
muscular
connective
neural
adipose
bone
blood
cephalization definition
area in which neural ganglion form
typically near other sensory organs
3 germ layers
endoderm
mesoderm
ectoderm
what is a coelom?
a body cavity lined with mesoderm
what is an acoelom?
organism with no body cavities that is solid throughout
what is a pseudocoelom?
animal with a false coelom
characteristics of a protosome
spiral cell growth
blastophore becomes mouth
characteristics of deuterostomes
radial cell growth
blastophore becomes anus
K selection
producing few offspring and devoting a greater amount of resources to it.
ex - humans
r selection
producing many offspring and devoting fewer resources to their development.
ex - mosquitos
what is the earliest, most simple animal known?
trichoplax adaherens
Characteristics of porifera
no tissues, organs, or symmetry
hermaphroditic
example of porifera
sponges
skeleton of sponges are typically composed of
silica
calcium carbonate
protein (spongin)
what does a collar cell do?
brings water through pores of sponge by waiving flagella
what is the opening of the sponge called?
oscula
what is a chanocyte?
an example of a collar cell amongst the interior of a sponge that assists in propulsion
examples of organisms in Cnidaria
hydra
jellyfish
coral
sea anemones
Body forms of Cnidaria
polyp
medusa
what is a polyp?
a cylindrical organism that attaches to a substrate
what is a medusa?
free floating umbrella shaped organism
what is a cnidocyte?
cells on tentacles that initiate nematocysts to paralyze prey
what phylum are the class of hydrazoa in?
cnidarians
what makes the hydrazoa special?
have both polyp and medusa stages in their life cycle
marine
colonial
What phylum are the schyphozoa in? What makes them special? what is an example?
cnidaria
medusa stage is dominant (bell-shaped)
diecious
planulae (larval stages that form into polyps)
what are the cubozoa? what makes them special?
a class of box jellyfish in the cnidaria phylum
change from radial symmetry to bilateral
tentacles at the corner of each box
very predatory, increased sensory system
class example of a cubazoa?
sea wasp or irujandji
very small but very dangerous
what are anthozoa? why are they important? what phylum?
sea anemones and coral
solitary / colonial animals
planulae stage that forms polyps instead of medusa
Phylum Ctenophora?
comb jellies
modified bilateral symmetry
more complex nervous system
bioluminescent
two major groups of platyhelminthes?
free-living worms (turbellaria)
parasitic flatworms
what are the types of parasitic flatworms
trematodes - flukes
cestoda - tapeworms
what do flame cells do?
function in balancing water levels and excretion
what are turbellaria?
class of platyhelminthes
free-living flatworms
what are monogenea and trematoda?
flukes
monogenea - endo-parasites
trematoda - ectoparasites
what is a schistosome?
Where are they common?
a fluke that diecious with sexual repro
Lake Victoria
where are schistosomes prevalent?
what saves an infected person?
lake victoria
