Term
Name 8 kinds of invertebrates (no internal support structure present=no backbone)?
Definition
1.ponifera 2.cnidaria 3.flatworms 4. nematodes 5. mollusca 6.annelids 7.arthropods 8.echinoderms
Term
What % of the earth is invertebrates? vertebrates?
Definition
97% invertebrates and 3% vertebrates
Term
Details of ponifera?
Definition
Sponges, move only for a few days, pick one spot and stay there, only cells, no tissue
Term
Details of cnidaria?
Definition
greek = "nettle", ex. jellyfish,sea anemones,hydra corals, NO symmetry, *INVENTED TISSUE, carnivorous
Term
Details of flatworms?
Definition
bilateral symmetry-(*<--invented bilateral), ex. flukes & tapeworms, beginnings of cephalization(having a head), no body cavity(simple organism)
Term
Details of nematodes?
Definition
ROUND WORMS, cylinder shape (beginnings of digestive tubes),ex. hookworms=parasite
Term
Details of mollusca?
Definition
"soft body", INVENTED CIRCULATORY SYSTEM,most have open circulatory system,2nd largest animal group:1)GASTROPODS=slugs,exoskeleton shell(mantle), 2)BIVALVES=mussels, clams,oysters,scallops,has 2 shell to enclose organism,3)CEPHALOPODS=squids,octopus,INVENTED "CLOSED CIRCULATORY SYSTEM", more mobile and efficient=fast
Term
Details of annelids?
Definition
SEGMENTED WORMS,INVENTED SEGMENTATION
Term
Details of arthropods?
Definition
"jointed footed", INVENTED PAIRED, JOINTED APPENDAGES(legs &wings),exoskeleton-sheds once too big, 3 types:1)ARACHNIDS-spiders,tics 2)CRUSTACEA-crawdad,one land group=pill bugs,3)INSECTA-cockroaches, 900,000 species of insect
Term
Details of enchinoderms?
Definition
internal support structure, most advanced-closest to humans,efficient at moving,Ex. sea star or sea urchin
Term
Characteristics of vertebrates (internal support structure present) in Phylum Chordata?
Definition
1)NOTOCHORD - cartilage rod(replacement of spinal chord), 2)DORSAL NERVE CHORD - bundled nerves, separate but adjacent to notochord, 3)GILL SLITS - humans:enclosed by tissue and become lungs, 4)TAIL - humans:embryonic stages
Term
Groups in Chordata?
Definition
1)Myxini, 2)Chondrichthyes, 3)Osteichthyes, 4)Amphibians, 5)Reptiles, 6)Birds, 7)Mammals
Term
Details of myxini?
Definition
hagfish - cartilage and skeleton, nothing eats it=produces black slime, MOST PRIMITIVE.
Term
Details of chondrichthyes?
Definition
Sharks, skates and rays, "cartilage fish",INVENTED JAWS
Term
Details of osteichthyes?
Definition
bone fish, BONE IS BETTER, LIGHTER, CAN HAVE MUSCLES,ex. swordfish, complete bone skeleton
Term
Details of amphibians?
Definition
FIRST GROUP TO LEAVE WATER!!!, bone skeleton, earliest land vertebrate,has to reproduce in water, moist living, need to develop new appendages
Term
Details of reptiles?
Definition
First group to be on land!!!,1)INTERNAL FERTILIZATION,2)respiratory structure,3)AMNIOTIC EGG(waterproof shell),4)reproductive organs, 5)Desiccation - drying out, 6)scales - prevent skin from drying out, 7)TOOK OVER THE WORLD (400-500 million years)8)Crocs- INVENTED 4 chamber heart!,9) gave rise to birds and mammals
Term
Details of birds?
Definition
1)all but a few species can fly(penguins),2)no land predators,3)AMNIOTIC EGG(calcium eggs),4)no teeth, 5)legs have scales from reptiles, 6)light and strong skeleton(hollow bones ex.frigate bird=7ft wing span but only 4 oz.)
Term
Details of mammals?
Definition
1)INVENT HAIR, 2)infants feed on milk from females, 3 groups: 1)MONOTREMES - ex. platypus,lay eggs like birds,babies fed milk,no teeth,MOST PRIMITIVE(earliest of its kind),2)MARSUPIALS - have a PATCH, not a placenta(sac for embryo)ex.kangaroos & possums, 3)PLACENTAL MAMMALS - have placenta,ex. humans & horses, more efficient in reproduction,no placentals in AUSTRALIA(<- continent broke off before placenta outburst)
