  • Front
  • Back
List at least 4 characteristics all multicellular organism share as set of evolutionary problems.
•Find and digest food
•Find a mate and reproduce
•Avoid being eaten while doing 1 and 2
•Maintain balance with fluids and salts
•Circulate nutrients
•Remove waste products
What are the modes of existence of multicellular organisms?
Sessile
Motile
Aquatic
Terrestrial
Small
Large
Sessile organisms have a very special characteristic. What is it? Give an example of this type of animal
Radially Symetric.
jellyfish in their early stage are sessile.
Corals are sessile
What mode of organism has become a filter feeder, defends itself with stinging cells, rely on external fertilization, are hermaphroditic, and have a motile larval stage?
Sessile organisms
This is a physica characterisitc motile organisms tend to have.
Bilaterally symetric
This mode of organisms is:
•More efficient shape for moving through the environment (especially in water)
•Actively seek out food and mates
•Run away from predators
What is it?
Motile animals
Do animals in motion have a specific direction?
Yes they do have.
This group of animals have sense organs right up front.
Motile animals have this characteristic too.
This mode of animals have brain, head and central nervous system.
Motile animals have this characteristics respect their nervous system.
What are some problems of animals that evolved from water to land?
This is a problem from that type of evolution.
•Required a radically different set of evolutionary adaptations to make that first step onto dry land

•Desiccation
•Gravity
•Excretion
From water to land animals solved the following problems, how did they address each of them?• Tissues dry out
• Need moisture to exchange gases
• Gametes dry out, can no longer rely on external fertilization in water
• Embryos dry out
• Develop a protective layer of epidermal cells – evolve a skin
• Keep respiratory surfaces on the inside
• Internal fertilization
• Amniotic egg, seed
How did animals solve the gravity problem on land?
they solved this problem by having a endoskeleton or exoskeleton
The problem of excretion brought the loss of essential salts, how did animals solve this problem?
Using simple tubes called NEPHRIDIA
How did animals solve these problems?
•Larger animals have more volume relative to their surface area
•Some cells or tissues will be far away from the outside surface
•Diffusion will not be fast enough to move food, gases wastes to and from inner cells
•Fold the digestive, respiratory, and excretory surfaces to increase surface area
•Be very thin or very flat
•Develop a vascular system – tubes to carry materials back and forth
•Develop a coelom – hollow fluid-filled core
These are four characteristic kingom animalia share.
This kigdom shares this characteristics.

• Heterotrophic
• Diploid
• Eukaryotic
• Multicellular
True or false

Are all animals in kingdom animalia motile at some stage in life cycle?
TRUE
What is opisthokonta?
Kingdoms and phylums that share a common ancestor.

> Phylum Choanoflagellata
> Kingdom Fungi
> Kingdom Animalia
What are characteristics of phylum choanoflagelatta?
These are the characteristics of this phylum
free-living unicellular
colonial flagellate eukaryotes considered to be the closest living relatives of the animals.

• These curious organisms are usually placed in the Kingdom Protista
• They are identical to the feeding cells of the common sponge (more later)
Why is Coloniality is an essential evolutionary step
This step is the gap between unicellular protists and multicellular animals

Because they show :
> specialization of cells
> division of labor
> communication between cells
what is parazoa?
It is a subkingdom that has Sponges, Placozoa
ancestral subkingdom of animals, literally translated as "beside the animals". They differ from their choanoflagellate ancestors in that they are macroscopic and have differentiated cells
This is eumatozoa:
It is a kingdom where animals
> Have cells organized into tissues, organs
> Share a common pattern of development
> Have some type of symmetry
– Radial symmetry
– Bilateral symmetry
– Have cells organized into tissues, organs

This subkingdom major animal groups except sponges
Endoderm
Type of embryonic tissue.
“skin within”, forms gut, internal organs
> Mesoderm
Type of embryonic tissue.
“skin in the middle”, forms skeleton and muscles
> Ectoderm
Type of embryonic tissue.
“the skin outside”, formsepidermis, nervous system
> Acoelomate
– Body lacks a coelom, solid except for crude internal “pouch” or GVC (gastrovascular cavity)

flatworms
> Pseudocoelomate
Coelom is actually a fluid-filled remnant of the blastocoel

roundworms, rotifers
This is a Coelom
Cavity filled with a fluid formed within the mesoderm

This innovation opened up many new possibilities for the evolution of animals
> Coelomate
(eucoelomate)
– Coelom is formed from the mesoderm, and lined by mesodermal membranes (the peritoneum)
Are all coelomates Protostomes or Deuterostomes?
Yes they are either Protostomes or Deuterostomes
These are examples of protostomes
annelids, mollusks, arthropods
These are examples of Deuterostomes
echinoderms, chordates
Give an example of an organism in the Phylum porifera
Spores are an example of this phylum

These are cells in the phylum porifera that
> Digest, transport, and store food
> Transport sperm to the eggs
> Secrete spicules (= “skeleton”)
• Spicules
These are cells in the phylum porifera that
> Help sponges keep their shape
> Used by taxonomists to classify sponges
• Choanocytes
These are cells in the phylum porifera that

Feeding cells
> Joint action of choanocyte flagella moves water through the sponge
> Delivers food, oxygen, gametes
> Carries off wastes (mostly ammonia)
• Choanocytes feed by what process?
by phagocytosis these type of cells feed
Fragmentation
Asexual reproduction that occurs in sponges
This is the most important function of Amoebocytes
This cells transport sperm to the eggs in spores
