The Rise Of Animal Diversity Flashcards
What happened when animals came onto the scene
It changed the evolution of everything else. Animals are animated and eat other things
When did animals start
About 650 mya
Which are older animals or plants
Animals are older than plants
Where did life start
In the ocean. This is why animals actually came before plants and fungi which are on the land
What are most animals
Invertsbrets.
Vertavrates are a small fraction
Animals is a what in terms of domain kingdom phyla and so on
Animals are considered a kingdom
What is humans closes relative of phyla
Chordates
Vertebrates are part of which phylum
Chordates. These include som vertebrates and other invertebrates
What is the basal taxon of animals
Sponges they are the closest the the common ancestor to animals
Sponges are examples of something that is sessile. What does this mean
That they are fixed in placed. Like plants are
What do most animals have that sponges don’t
Symmetry. Sponges have no symmetry
True complex multicellularity
Different kinds of cells doing different things for the organisms
Sponges also don’t have what compared to the other animal phylums
They don’t have tissues
All animals except sponges have what
Epithelial
Connective
Muscle
Nervous
These are not in sponges
Porifera
Pore filers organism for water that leaves cavities
Water flows through by choanocytes that are flagellated and woo their flagella that draws water in through pores and out through exit. They filter the water for food
Phagocytosis occurs by choanocytes and then transport particles to a different cell ameovpcyte
Cnidarians
Include jelly fish
Sea anenamoes
Have stinging cells that paralyze the creatures they are feeding on.
They have symmetry
They have radial symmetry
Gastrovascular cavity
Cnodarians have these
Cavity in the body with one opening
The entrance and the exit. Like a mouth and anus
Radial symmetry
Based on a central point like a flower pot
Bilateral symmetry
Right left symmetry
More bilateral symmetry organisms
All true tissue animals start off as embryos which contain
Two layer
Ectoderm and endoderm
Diploblasts
Two layer tissues
Ectoderm and endoderm
