Cards

Term
Five Kindoms of Fungi
Definition
Bacteria, Protists, Fungi, Plants, Animals
Term
Charnia
Definition

Marine Multicellular Organism

560MYA

Term
Extremophile
Definition

organism that thrives in extreme environments. 

They have genes that are adaptable to exteme conditions.

Term
Sponges
Definition
A living fossil in the great barrier reef
Term
sponges
Definition

Connections of simple cells

No nervous tissues no muscle  no true tissues

feed by pumping sea water

Term

advantages of multicellularity

 

Definition

can collect more food

control internal environment and communicate to act as a team

Term
Animal kingdom
Definition

great diversity of living and extint species

 

Term
Heterotrophs
Definition
obtain organic molecules by ingesting other organisms
Term
autotrophs
Definition
synthesize own organic molecules
Term
Characteristics of Animals
Definition

multicellular eukaryotes

lack cell walls -  greater morphological diversity

bodies have structural protien

specialized cells

Sexual reproduction

Term

Choanoflagellates are closely related to animals

 

Definition

1) choanoflagelletes cells are similar to collar cells in sponges

2) collar cells found in animals, but not in choanoflagelletes protist plants

3) DNA Sequencing data shar high sequence similarity for specific signalling and adhesion

 

Term
Body Plans
Definition

morophological and development traints

including symmetry

tissue organization

body cavity

protostome or deuterostome development

Term
clade
Definition
only group common ancestors and all descendants
Term

Body Symmetry

 

 

Definition

Dorsal/Ventral 

divide equal but opposite halves but opposite halves by a plane through central axis

Lack R/L sides andterior and posterior sides (lack cephalization)

triploblastic

 

Term
tissues
Definition

collection of specialized cells that are separated by membranes

 

Term
How do embryo layers develop
Definition
Through gastrulation
Term
gastrulation
Definition
inward folding of early embryo due to cell migration
Term
ectoderm
Definition

covers the surface of embryos and organs

 

rises to the outer covering of animals ( skin) and central nervous system

Term
endoderm
Definition
innermost layer, lines the digestive tract and gives rise to the digestive organs, liver, and lungs
Term
mesoderm
Definition
middle gives rise to muscles and organs between digestive and skin
Term
triploblastic animals
Definition

flat worms

arthropods and vertebrates

Term
diploblastic
Definition

animals that lack mesoderm

cnidarians

Term
body cavity
Definition

coelem = fluid or air space

separate digestive tract 

cushoins internal organs

 

Term
non compressible fluid
Definition
provides structure
Term
inner and outer tissues
Definition

layers that form cavity connect dorsally and ventrally suspend internal organs

 

formed from mesoderm and endoderm fully functional cavity

Term
grade
Definition
true coelem and psedocoelems are gained and lost over evolution
Term
protostome
Definition

spiral and derterminate

cells are at an angle

 

2 masses of mesodermal cells migrate and form coelem

 

first mouth blastopore becomes mouth

Term
deuterostomes
Definition

radial and indeterminate

 

mesodermal cells bud off from archenteron and migrate to form coelom

 

second mouth, blastopore becomes anus

 

 

 

Term

phylogenetic systematists

 

Definition

classify organisms based on common descents 

organisms in clades

Term
eumetazoa
Definition
true tissues show up
Term
bilaterians divide
Definition

deuterostomes

lophotrochozoa

ecdysozoa

Term
lophotochozoans features
Definition

lophophores = a tuft of ciliated tentacles fxn in feeding

tropho= anus tuft

 

Term
invertebrates
Definition
lack central back bone 95% known animals
Term
species
Definition
a group of organisms that can breed with one another
Term
hermaphroditic
Definition
