Test 3 Flashcards
Vertebrates
Have a backbone
Heterotrophic
Their food consists of organic molecules made by other organisms
Invertebrates
Lack a backbone
Coelom
Invertebrates that lack a true body cavity
Asymmetry
Animal has no particular symmetry
Radial symmetry
The animal is organized and two identical halves are obtained no matter how the animal is longitudinally sliced
Which of the phyla in the tree have radial symmetry?
Radiata
Bilateral symmetry
The adult animal has a definite right and left half
Germ layers
Tissue layers
Which of the phyla in the tree have only two germ layers?
Radiata
Ectoderm
Outer layer, layer that becomes the skin and nervous system
Endoderm
Inner layer, layer that becomes the gut
Mesoderm
Middle layer, becomes the muscles
Protostome
Pattern of development in which the first opening of the embryo is the mouth
Deuterostome
Pattern of development in which the second opening of the embryo is the mouth, first is anus
Which pattern of development do the flatworms, Rotifers, and roundworms have?
Protostome
Sponges
Live in water, mostly marine, attached to rocks, shells, and other solid objects
Sessile
Immotile
Collar cells
Take in suspended food particles from the water and digest them for the benefit of all the other cells in a sponge
Osculum
Excurrent opening
Spicule
Skeleton of sponge
Amoebocyte
Produce spicules
Calcareous (chalk) sponges have spicules of what?
Calcium carbonate
Bath sponges have a skeleton of ___.
Spongin
Glass sponges have ___ spicules
Glassy
How does a sponge protect itself from predators?
Spicules
How do sponges acquire and digest food?
Collar cells
How do sponges reproduce asexually?
Budding or fragmentation
How do sponges reproduce sexually?
Eggs and sperm
The mouth of a ___ is directed upward.
Polyp
The mouth of a jellyfish, or ___, is directed downward.
Medusa
How can radial symmetry benefit an animal?
It can move equally well in any direction, can reach out and grab food from the center, can sense in all directions
Gastrovasculer cavity
Has a single opening that is used both as an entrance for food and an exit for wastes
How does a hydra acquire and digest food?
Tentacles capture food which is stuffed into gastrovascular cavity where it is digested both externally in the cavity and internally in the cells that like the cavity
How does a hydra protect itself from predators?
Nematocysts
How does a hydra reproduce asexually?
Budding
How does a hydra reproduce sexually?
The body wall can also produce ovaries and testes that produce eggs and sperm
Cnidocytes
Stinging cells
Nematocyst
Fluid-filled capsule which contains a long, spirally coiled hollow thread
Hermaphroditic
Possess both male and female sex organs
Why is is advantageous for an animal to be hermaphroditic?
Assurance of a reproductive partner
Flame cells
Excretory organs, collect fluids from inside the body and send via a tube to an excretory pore
Ladder-like nervous system
Contains a brain and lateral nerve cords connected by transverse nerves
Why would you expect an animal that lives in fresh water to have a well-developed excretory system?
Eliminate water and retain salts
When a planarian extends the ___, food is sucked up into a gastrovascular cavity that branches throughout the body.
Pharynx
What is the advantage of a gastrovascular cavity that ramifies through the body?
A higher surface area for food absorption to occur
How do humans get infected with the pig tapeworm?
Humans may eat it in poorly cooked or raw meat
Tapeworms
Parasitic worms known as cestodes
Scolex
Head, usually with suckers and hooks
Proglottids
Segments of the body
What is the function of a tapeworms hooks and suckers?
Help them stay attached to the interior of the intestine
Ploglottids mature into “bags of eggs.” Given the life cycle of the tapeworm, why might a tapeworm produce so many eggs?
Only a few of the millions of fertile eggs ever have any chance of making it to “adulthood”
Flukes
Parasitic flatworms known as trematodes
Complete digestive tract
Has both a mouth and an anus
Pseudocoelom
A body cavity, which allows space for the organs, is incompletely lined with mesoderm
How can trichinosis be prevented in humans?
Eat well-cooked meat
Filarial worm
Roundworm that infects lymphatic vessels and blocks the flow of lymph
The condition is called __ because when a leg is affected, it becomes massively swollen.
Elephantiasis
If a cnidarian has both a polyp stage and a medusa stage, what is the life-cycle function of the medusa stage?
Disperses the species
Why would you expect an animal with bilateral symmetry to be more active than one with radial symmetry?
They move in a definite direction
Name two contrasting anatomical features (other than symmetry) that distinguish a planarian from a hydra.
Planarian - ladder-like nervous system, 3 germ layers
Hydra - nerve net, 2 germ layers
Name a group of animals that is usually hermaphroditic and a group that is usually dioecious.
Hermaphroditic - flatworms
Dioecious - flukes
How does the process of acquiring food in planarians differ from the process in tapeworms?
Planarians - extend pharynx and suck up food
Tapeworms - attach to a host and suck up food
Why would you expect a free-living roundworm to have a nervous system?
They have a muscular body wall, so need a brain and nerves to control the muscles
