what are the 4 features of animals
-multicellularity
-heterotrophic metabolism
-internal ingestion
-movement
describe heterotrophic metabolism
-intake of food; we get nutrients from the organisms we intake as opposed to plants who already have the nutrients inside of them
What are the 4 key features to animal body plans
-symmetry
-structure of the body cavity
-segmentation
-external appendages
define 2 types of symmetry
-what occurs w/ respect to symmetry in echinoderms
-radial symmetry: any plane through the main axis divides animal into two similar halves
-bilateral symmetry: one plane through anterior/posterior midline divides animal into 2 mirror images (dorsal is back, ventral is belly)
-echinoderms: larvae are bilateral while adults are pentaradial
define/describe the 3 types of body cavities
-acoelomate: no body cavity/coelom
-pseudocoelomate: coelem is lined with mesoderm, but the internal organs are not thus leaving them suspended
-coelomate: coelom and internal organs are lined with mesoderm, thus the internal organs are bolted down, allowing for better control over movement of cavity
describe 4 key points in segmentation of animals
-more precise control of movement
-allows animal to alter shape of body in complex ways
-not always obvious externally (vertebrae in vertebrates)
-varies in different regions of the body (different segments become unique in function)
describe uses of appendages in animals
-describe how evolution has acted on appendages
-sensing, chewing, locomotion, mating
-increases precision and efficiency in mobility
-some appendages were lost in many groups of organisms
what are the 5 types of feeding strategies in animals
-filter feeding
-herbivores
-predators
-parasites
-detrivores
describe filter feeders
-small organisms/nutrients that move through environment are collected by filtering either actively (flamingo) or passively (sponges)
describe herbivores
eat living plants/plant tissues
-eat phloem
-drink nectar from flowers
-eat leaves/part of plant
-eat whole plant
describe predators
eat other animals
-usually smaller, but can be larger in size
describe parasites
-live in or on organisms from which they obtain energy and nutrients
ex: larvae of tarantula hawks
describe detrivores
eat dead stuff
-dead animals
-dead plants
-dunk
why are omnivores important
critical to food webs
what are the two main stages of life cycles
-larvae stage
-adult stage
what are the two types of larvae for planktonic marine animals
-trochophore
-naplius
both of these are "dispersal" stage for marine animals
describe what trochophores become in the adult stage
ex: mollusks
-they become sessile in the adult stage
describe what naplius become in the adult stage
ex: crustaceans, crabs
-they become either sessile or motile
-use appendages as larvae for locomotion
