Unikont Diversity II Flashcards
animals
all heterotrophic; ingest/digest food in body
animal cell structure
eu; multicellular; no cell walls; external proteins ouside PM for structural support (ex: collagen)
animal organization
all w/ differeniated cells w/ specific functions;most animals w/ differentiated tissue - group of cells w/ common structure and fuction as unit; higher animals w/ differented organs adapted to perform specific functions; muscle and nerve tissue is unique defining char
differentiated
specialized
cleavage
series of mitotic divisions w/o cell growth btwn divisons
blastula
hollow ball of cells that surrounds a cavity called a bastocoel
gastrulation
embryo fold inwards and expands filling bastocoel; produces gastrula w/ diff layer of embryonic tissue
gastrule
(1) endoderm (2) entoderm (3) archenteron
endoderm
inner layer of embryonic tissue
entoderm
outer layer of embryonic tissue
archenteron
pouch formed during gastrulation; opens to outside of gastrula via blastopore
animal development
some develop directly into adults (ex: humans); others w/ at least one larval stage; regulation by gene expression
larvae
sexually immature form; morphologicall diff from adult; eats diff food; lives in diff habitats; undergoes metamorphosis more dev becomes juvenille (still sexually immature) more dev is now adult
homeobox genes
code for proteins that reg exp of dev genes; ex: Hox genes are important in animal embryo dev
body plans
particular set of morphological and dev traits; compare key animal feature and features key animal evo steps
differentiation
all animals w/ specialized steps; 1st major step in animal evo: porifera vs. eumetazoa
porifera
sponges; do not have clearly defined tissues and organs; still animals
eumetazoa
“true animals”; do clearly have defined tissues and organs
symmetry
arrangement of body structures in relation to a particular axis of the body
radial symmetry
wheet, cylinder; multiple plants that divide animal into mirror images; many radial orgs are sessile
sessile
live attched to substrate
bilateral symmetry
2 sided; body can be divided by only one plane through the midline (r and l are roughly mirror images); cephalization
cephalization
dev of head region; location of central nervous system; corrdinates complex movements
