Theme Two rest Of Phylums Flashcards
What are protostomes further divided into
And what are their characteristics
Lophotrochazoans:
have trochophore larvae and lophophore feeding structure
Ecdysozoans:
Have external cuticale which it shed to frown
(Ecdysis)
What type of circulatory and nervous system do protostomes have?
Deuterostomes?
Protostomes:
Ventral nervous system
Dorsal circulatory system
Deuterostomes:
Dorsal nervous system
Ventral circulatory system
What are some other cues to the taxonomy of protostomes and deuterostomes
Body segmentation (found in chordates (us), arthropods, earthworms leeches)
Molecular evidence (dna and protiens)
What does the phylum porifera have
Sponges
What are characteristics of phylum porifera
Assymetrical
Parazoans: no true tissues they reform after being cut up
Not diplo or triploblasts
Sessile as adults motile when young
No nerves, filter feeders
How to sponges filter feed
Suck in water through pores at the base
A choanocyte dissolves the food particle and then the water is shot out through top
Very similar to chaonoflagellates
What is phylum Ctenophora
Comb jellies
What characteristics does phylum Ctenophora have
Diploblastic (biradial symmetry)
Gelatinous body
Combs that are actually plates of fused cilia that project outward
Combs are used to move
What is included in phylum Cnidaria
Jellyfish
sea anemones
coral
hydra
What characteristics are in phylum Cnidaria
They have radial symmetry
Diploblastic (no mesoderm)
Their life cycles include both polyp and Medusa stages
What is the polyp life stage of Cnidaria
The mostly sessile stage
The moth is facing the top
What is the Medusa life stage of Cnidaria
Mobile stage (they move)
Mouth facing down
What is a shared derived character of capture prey Cnidaria to capture prey
How do they work
Cnidocytes and nematocysts
The nematocyst is a spine (spike) that shoots out when touched then grabs prey. This whole thing is called a cnidocyte (the nematocyst is attached to it)
What are siphonophores
Colonial cnidarians that a modified for diff functions
Ex. Portuguese man o war jellyfish
What is phylum rotifera, what does it include
It’s a sister group in lophatrocozoa
Is has a spiky mouth (corona) which moves water to bring particle to its mouth.
Has excretory system and anus
