Heterotrophs

Definition
  •  Animals
  • obtain energy by injesting other organisms
  • multicellular, no cell walls, diverse in form 99% invertebrates, 42,500 vertebrates
  • reproduce sexually and have special type of haploid gamete

 

Term
Zygote
Definition
the diploid cell that results from the fusion of male and female gametes (fertilization)
Term

Cleavage

Definition
mitotic divisions that zygote undergoes
Term
Morula
Definition
solid ball of cells that results after cleavage
Term
Blastula
Definition
hollow ball of cells after morula forms
Term
Blastopore
Definition
forms when blastula folds inward at one point to form hollow sac with opening at one end (called blastopore). An embryo at this stage is called a gastrula
Term
Tissues
Definition
collections of cells that have joined together and are specialized to perform a specific function
Term
Parazoa
Definition

"sponges"

simplest animals that lack defined tissues and organs but their cells can differentiate over and over again, while most cell types differentiation is irreversible process

Term
Metazoa
Definition
multicellular animal, 36 distinct phyla of metazoa
Term
Radiata
Definition
radial symmetry, body design where parats of body arranged around central axis so that any plane passing through central axis divide organism into mirror image halves
Term
Bilateria
Definition
bilateral symmetry body design where body has top (dorsal) and bottom (ventral), left and right symmetry, and front (anterior) , back (posterior) ends
Term
Chordata
Definition
phylum of bilaterally symmetrical animals
Term
Cephalization
Definition
evolution of a definite brain area and head, in bilaterally symmetrical animals
Term
Acoelomates
Definition
  • one of body plans for bilateral symmetric animals
  • no body cavity between mesoderm and endoderm, space is filled with cells and organic material
Term
Coelomates
Definition
  • one of body plans for bilateral symmetric animals
  • fluid filled body cavity (called coelom) that develops entirely within the mesoderm. the heart and other organ systems are suspended in coelom
Term
Pseudocoelomates
Definition
  • one of body plans for bilateral symmetric animals
  • called "pseudo" because it is not lined with epithelial tissue
  • has body cavity between mesoderm and endoderm space
Term

3 Germ Layers

Endoderm

Mesoderm

Ectoderm

 

Definition
  • Endoderm- inner germ layer that gives rise to epithelium that lines inside of digestive and respiratory tracts
  • Mesoderm- middle germ layer that gives rise to muscle, bone, circulatory, excretory, and reproductive systems
  • Ectoderm- outer germ layer that gives rise to outer epithelium (hair, skin, nails) and nerve tissue including sense organs, brain, spinal cord.
Term

Segmentation

Definition

subdivision of body into segments. Has 2 advantages from early development

  • segments can be redundant systems or repeated so that damage to any one segment is not fatal because other segments duplicate purpose
  • locomotion is more efficient when individual segments can move independently because animal as whole has more flexibility of movement
Term

Classifications:

 

Polyphyletic

Monophyletic

Clade

Definition
  • Polyphyletic- does not include most recent common ancestor
  • Monophyletic- does include most recent common ancestor or group and all descendants
  • Clade- a monophyletic group
Term
What is an Animal?
Definition
  • A multicellular heterotroph without cell walls.
  • Cells do not divide by mitosis (haploid cells)
  • Some undergo metamorphosis
Term

How are the major animal phyla (whom is relateed to whom?)classified?

Definition
  • used to be classified by symmetry (radial, bilateral
  • now classified by how embryo develops
Term
What is difference between Protosome and Deuterosome?
Definition
  • Protostome-mouth develops first before anus
  • Deuterostome- anus develops first before mouth (humans are Deuterostomes)
