more ATP

31
Q

What was the genetic cause of the Cambrian Explosion

A

Evolution of the Hox genes/regulatory genes, which ceased morphology during embryonic development

32
Q

Increased ecological niches after the Earth had melted a lot of snow also increased the number of species because then there was

A

hospitable location for life.

33
Q

Name the two types of Ancestral Protozoa

Parazoa and Eumetazoa

What are Acoelomates?

A

Animals with germ layers that have no separated spaces. The animal’s solid. (Platyhelminthes/flatworms/tapeworms)

45
Q

What are Pseudocoelomates?

A

Animals with germ layers partially separated by spaces. They have a small cavity called a Psueocoelom.

Q

What are Ceolomates

A

Animals with germ layers seperated by spaces of true Coelom.

48
Q

What is a True Ceolom

A

A complete lining of both inside and outside of the endodermic mesoderm. It acts as a cushion for free movement

49
Q

What are the two types of Ceolomates

A

Protosomes and Deuterostomes

50
Q

What are some characteristics of protosomes?

A

25 Phylum, 8 Cell Development stages, Spiral Cleveage, Determinate Cells, Blastopore develops into mouth

51
Q

What is the determinate cells?

A

Cells with a very specific purpose. It they are gone, then the body part doesn’t develop

Q

What are some characteristics of Deuterostoems

Q

What are some characteristics of Deuterostoems
