Topic 5: Unikonts II (Intro to Animals) Flashcards
What kind of consumers are animals considered and what does that mean? What kind of trait is it?
heterotrophic
depends on the producers for energy
ingest and digest internally
ancestral trait of all animals
SDT (A1)?
Multicellular
SDT (A2)? What does this mean?
Extracellular matrix: proteins outside of cell membrane
- these proteins connect and support cells, mostly made of collagen
What do most animals have? What do many animals have? Define both.
most have differentiated tissue: groups of cells with common structure and function
many have differential organs: specialized structures made up of tissues
How do animals reproduce? Diploid/haploid? What process is used? What is produced? How is a zygote formed?
usually sexual
usually diplod-dominant
meiosis - produce haploid sperm/egg
fertilization: small flagellated sperm fuses with larger, non-motile egg
SDT(A3)?
Early embrygonic development pattern
What is cleavage?
mitotic divisions without growth
What is blastulation? What does it lead to?
cell migration, forming a hollow ball of cells
produces blastula
What is blastula?
hollow ball of cells around blastocoel
What is blastocoel?
empty space
What is gastrulation? What does it produce?
process of inward folding of blastula
produces gastrula and germ layers
What are the components of a gastrula?
endoderm (inside part), ectoderm (outside part), archenteron (empty space) = ancient intestine, blastopore (entrance to the archenteron
SDT(A4)?
homeobox genes
What do homeobox genes do?
they code for proteins that regulate expression of developmental genes
control expression of many genes
Define symmetry
the arrangement of body structure in relation to axis of body
