Term
Emergent property principle
Definition
New properties emerge as organisms become more complex
Term
Archea Bacteria Eukarya
Definition
New classification system
Term
Cleavage
Definition
early cellular division of an embryo
Term
Radial
Definition
divide completely and evenly
Term
Spiral
Definition
Twisting occurs during cell division
Term
Diploblastic
Definition
2 germ layers
Term
Triploblastic
Definition
3 germ layers
Term
Germ layers
Ectoderm- Skin and nervous system
Mesoderm- everything else
Endoderm- Lining of digestive tract
Definition
Germ layers
Term
Protostomes
Definition
First opening develops into mouth
Term
Deuterostomes
Definition
First opening develops into anus
Term
Nutrition
Respiration
Definition
Problems with increasing size
Term
1) Folding the body surface to increase surface area
2) Flatten one dimension so surface area is similar to volume
3) Developed internal transport systems to transport
Definition
Ways to deal with increase in size
Term
- Better buffer against environment
- Greater protection from predation
- More efficient use of metabolic energy
Definition
Why become larger?
Term
- Habitat
- Evolutionary history
- Way of life
Definition
Diversity of animal body form constrained by
Term
1. Multicellularity
2. Symmetry (bilateral symmetry)
3. Body cavity
4. Segmentation (Metamerism)
5. External appendages
6. Nervous system
Definition
Major evolutionary innovations in animal form
Term
Symmetry
Definition
correspondence in size and shape on opposite sides of a center (or median)
plane
Term
Spherical symmetry
Definition
Any plane passing through the center divides the body into equivalent halves
Term
Radial symmetry
Definition
Divided into similar halves by more than two planes passing
through the longitudinal axis
a. Animals usually sessile, freely floating, or weakly swimming
b. Can interact with their environment in all directions → no front or back
Term
Bilateral symmetry
Definition
Can be divided along a midline (or sagittal) plane into two
mirrored halves. Are all triploblastic. Part of Blateria.
Term
cephalization
Definition
Differentiation of a head
- allow you to interact with environment more quickly. Allows for formation of a central nervous system.
Term
Coelom
Definition
a fluid-filled space surrounding the gut. Provides a tube-within-a-tube arrangement
Term
Acoelomates
Definition
Most do not have a true coelom or body cavity. Flatworms. Move via cilia
Term
Pseudocoelomates
Definition
Cavity surrounding gut but not composed of mesodermal peritoneum. Single layer of mesodermal tissue lining the inside of the ectoderm.
Term
Pseudocoel
Definition
remnant of blastocoel
Term
Coelomates
Definition
Possess a true coelom. mesodermal peritoneum- holds the organs in place
Term
Schizoloelus
Definition
cells split off from ectoderm and endoderm and forming
Term
Enterocoelus
Definition
Outpocketing from center part or denteron.
Term
Metamerism
Definition
Serial repetition of similar body segments along the longitudinal axis of the body. Annelida, Arthropoda, Chordata
Term
Enhance an animal’s ability to move, greater muscle development and nervous system. Modified specialized limbs  better controlled, more rapid movement
Definition
Appendages
