No

Mobile

Most of them reproduce?

sexually

What are the 3 things that food is broken down into nutrients?

proteins,carbohydrates, fats

amino acids; used for building materials

carbohydrates:

simple sugars(monosaccharides); used for energy.

fats:

fatty acids and glycerol; used for stored energy(glycogen)

how many digestive tracts do animals have?

one or two

How many digestive tracts is more efficient?

two

What are the different kinds of specialized cells of animals?

nerve, blood, muscle and stomach cells

nerve cells:

conduct information

blood cells:

transport materials

muscle cells:

movement

stomach cells:

digestion

How is a zygote formed?

egg + sperm = zygote (fertilized cell)

What does the zygote first divide by mitosis to form?

blastula

blastula:

a hallow ball of cells

the Blastula then develops to form?

the gastrula

gastrula:

indented form

3 germ layers of the gastrula:

ectoderm, endoderm, mesoderm

ectoderm:

outer layer of cells; becomes skin and nervous system

endoderm:

inner layer of cells; forms digestive tract

mesoderm:

middle layer of cells; becomes muscles and internal organs

do all animals have all 3 of these germ Layers?

yes

Some gastrula's will develop into the

adult stage

other gastrula's will develop into a

larva stage

larva stage:

immature individuals that look different than the adult; will then change into the adult stage

3 body plans of symmetry for animals:

asymmetry, radial and bilateral


asymmetry:

no shape; irregular structure; permanently attached to a surface (sessile)


ex. sponge

radial symmetry:

symmetrical arrangement of radiating parts around a central point; no left or right halves; top (dorsal) and bottom (ventral) surface


ex. sea star

bilateral symmetry:

divides into equal right and left tabs


head-anterior


tail-posterior


back-dorsal


belly-ventral


ex. human

organisms with asymmetry...

sessile, "filter feeders" ; no movement

organisms with radial symmetry...

sedentary or passively drifting

organisms with bilateral symmetry...

brain; sense organs; mouth on head; mobile; better movement and getting food.

some animals have a body cavity, or a

coelom

coelom:

fluid filled space between digestive tract and outer body wall.


-allows space for internal organs

3 types of body plans:

acoelomate, pseudocoelomate, coelomate

acoelomate:

solid compact body; no cavity; organs and tissues; one opening in digestive tract


ex. ; flatworm

pseudocoelomate;

"false cavity" ; fluid filled cavity between endoderm and mesoderm; mesoderm only partly lines cavity, so organs only loosely are held in place; allows better movement,


ex. roundworm

coelomate:

"true cavity"; cavity within the mesoderm that is completely lined; space for complex organs and better muscle function


ex. earthworm

protostomes:

gastrula opening becomes mouth of organism.

deuterostomes:

gastrula becomes anus of organism

invertebrate chordates. backbone?

No

invertebrate chordates examples:

sea squirts and lancelets

3 main characteristics:

notochord, dorsal, gill slits

notochord:

long, semi rigid rod like structure between dorsal nerve chord and digestive system

dorsal:

hallow, nerve chord (develops from ectoderm)

gill slits:

food is filtered out and gas exchange occurs as water filters through

vertebrate chordates. features:

bilateral symmetry, coelomates, endoskeleton (internal), closed circulatory system (blood in vessels), complex nervous system (brain+spinal chord), efficient respiratory system

fish. 3 classes:

Agnatha, Chondrichthyes, osteichthyes

Agnatha:

jawless fish

Chondrichthyes:

cartilage fish

Osteichthyes:

boney fish

habitat:

aquatic environments

what do they use for gas exchange?

gill slits

what do they use their paired fins for?

balance, steering, and swimming

Fish have what kind of chambered heart?

2 chambered heart

ventricle:

upper chamber

atria:

lower chamber

Sensory system of a fish?

lateral line system (line of fluid filled canals running along the sides of fish used to detect movement and vibrations in water



scales:

thin, bony plates formed from skin.

backbone (vertebrae):

major support; provides flexibility

feature that allows fish to control how deep they are:

swim bladder

swim bladder:

controls depth in the water

spawning:

laying eggs in water; external fertilization

Amphibians. advantages of moving onto land?

larger food supply;, shelter, more oxygen in the air

disadvantages of them moving onto land?

changes in air temp., bodies were too heavy

"amphibia" means?

"double life"- aquatic larvae and semi terrestrial adult





why do they rely on reproductive purposes?

reproduction:eggs have no shell; must remain moist



ectothermic:

body temp. changes with the environment

metamorphosis:

tadpole(fins, gills, 2 chambered heart) adult( legs, lungs, 3 chambered heart)



How did amphibians 3 chambered hearts come about?

when they moved from water to land, more oxygen and water was needed.

Reptiles. examples?

snakes, lizards, alligators, turtles

advantages of scaly skin on reptiles?

prevents water loss, provides protection

how many chambers in the heart of a reptile?

3 chambers

why do alligators have 4?

more oxygen is able to reach body tissues; support higher level of energy

position of legs?

under the animal



purpose of claws?

protection, and to get food

what kind of eggs do reptiles lay and where do they lay the?

amniotic egg, on land

3 components of eggs:

shell, yolk, albumen



shell:

protect it

yolk:

main food supply for the embryo

albumen:

(white) food and water

Reptiles are ectothermic-

body temp. changes with the environment

most eat?

plants



plant eating animals?

herbivores

"sense" organs are?

heat sensitive- enable them to detect tiny changes in air temp. brought about by pretense of warm blooded animals.



how do they smell?

tongue

Birds. purpose of them moving to "air based" creatures?

carries its young in a uterus (placenta-the organ that nourishes the young)

gestation period

time spent in a uterus
