Tripoblastic - Protosomes - Lophotrochozoa Flashcards
‘Lophophore’
mobile, feeding structure for immobile animals
‘Trochophore’
larval form like a spinning top
‘Bryozoa’
Moss animals
Bryozoa are colonial animals with individuals called
Zooids
How do bryozoan increase contact with prey?
Oscillate and rotate their lophophore
How do bryozoan reproduce?
release sperm into water. Fertilisation is internal
‘Brachiopoda’
arm foot
What do brachiopoda feed with?
motile lophophore
How do most species of brachiopoda reproduce?
release gametes into water
‘Rotifera’
Wheel bearer
How do rotifera move?
beating cilia rather than muscular contraction
What sweeps particles into Rotifera mouth?
coronal cilia
Food is ground up in the gut of Rotifer by what?
Mastax structure
How was genetic diversity sustained before sex between rotifer?
Picking up gene fragments from the environment
‘Platyhelminthes’
flatworms
