Term
what did animals evolve from?
Definition
a colonial protist that lived in the seas during the precambrian era
Term
when did animals go under rapid diversification?
Definition
beginning of Paleozoic (545 million years ago)
Term
what are the 4 key evolution branch points of animals?
Definition
1. 3 true tissues (ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm)
2. body symmetry (radial and bilateral)
3. coelom (fluid filled space separating digestive tract from outer body wall) led to complex animals
4. embryonic development of a true coelom
Term
are most animals vertebrates or invertebrates?
Definition
invertebrates
Term
what is the phyla of sponges?
Definition
Porifera
Term
how do sponges reproduce?
Definition
fragmentation (asexual) or sexual (hermaphrodite)
Term
how do sponges feed?
Definition
through filter system - lack of true tissue
Term
what are the 2 kinds of cells on the inside of a sponge?
Definition
chanocytes - has flagella and grabs food and filters water
ameobocyte - moves by pseudopodia
Term
what is the opening in the middle of the sponge?
Definition
osculum
Term
what animals are in phylum Cnidaria?
Definition
hydras, jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones
Term
what cnidarian is not marine?
Definition
hydra
Term
what kind of symmetry does phylum Cnidaria have?
Definition
radial
Term
what tissue layers do cnidaria have? what does this mean about organs?
Definition
only 2, ectoderm and endoderm
no organs
Term
what kind of digestive system do Cnidaria have? what does this mean?
Definition
incomplete digestive system
only 1 opening, mouth is also anus
Term
what kind of reproduction does phylum Cnidaria have?
Definition
sexual and asexual
budding is asexual
Term
what do all cnidarians have? (arms)
Definition
tentacles
Term
what really happens in a jellyfish sting?
Definition
triggers are pushed and they push out coil and sting prey.
called cnidoblasts
Term
what animals are in phylum Platyhelminthes ?
Definition
flatworms, flukes, tapeworms
Term
where do animals in phylum Platyhelminthes live?
Definition
all environments, including parasitic
Term
what kind of symmetry do Platyhelminthes have?
Definition
bilateral symmetry
Term
what tissue layers do platyhelminthes have?
Definition
3 layers, no body cavity
Term
what kind of digestive system do platyhelminthes have?
Definition
incomplete
Term
what organs do platyhelminthes have?
Definition
several including reproductive and excretory
Term
what are the "ears" and "eyes" on planaria flatworms really?
Definition
auricles are chemoreceptors
eyespots are photoreceptors
Term
what does a tapeworm have on its head?
Definition
scolex
the little hooks attach and it feeds into you
Term
what does ascoelomate mean?
Definition
without a coelom
Term
what kind of animals live in phylum Nematoda?
Definition
roundworms
Term
what kind of environment do nematodes live in?
Definition
all environments, including parasitic
Term
what kind of symmetry do Nematoda have?
Definition
bilateral symmetry
Term
what kind of digestive system do Nematoda have?
Definition
complete
Term
what kind of body cavity do Nematoda have?
Definition
not completely lined (pseudocoelom)
Term
what it a pseudocoelom?
Definition
a body cavity that is not completely lined
for it to be completely lines, there has to be mesoderm on both sides of the coelom
Term
what is a completely lined body cavity?
Definition
ectoderm
mesoderm
coelom
mesoderm
endoderm
Term
what kind of organs do Nematoda have?
Definition
well developed organs
Term
how do Nematoda reproduce?
Definition
sexually
Term
what phylum does the genus Ascaris belong to, how do you get it and what does it do?
Definition
Nematoda
eating raw pork
burrows out of stomach, travels through blood stream, goes back to stomach, reproduces very quickly
Term
what do microscopic nematodes cause?
