Are organisms of the animal kingdom multi cellular or unicellular

multi cellular

what does it mean to be a heterotroph

an organisms that relies on organic materials made by other organisms

Heterotrophic method of feeding


1. move through environment in search of food


2. position themselves where food will pass by


3. move the environment

what are the five animal feeding strategies?

(Ferb Had Perry the Platypus Dig)


1. filter feeder


2. herbivores


3. predators


4. parasites


5. detrivores

filter feeder

organisms that captures small organisms from the environment

herbivores

organisms that eat parts of plants

predators

organism tries to capture and eat relatively large (larger than themselves) animals

parasites

organism lives in or on other organisms from which they obtain nutrients

detritivores

animal that eats detritus

detritus

waste

feeding strategy of flamingos

filter feeders: their specialized beaks allow them to sift through and separate mud and silt from the food they eat
feeding strategy of cows

herbivores: eat grass and pasture plants

feeding strategy of grey wolf, bald eagle and snake

predators: they hunt and try to capture animals typically larger than themselves

feeding strategy of earthworms

detritivores: eat decaying plant and animal matter in the soil

internal digestion (animals)

do digestion inside body but outside the the cell (extracellular)

nervous system

needed to coordinate movement of animals

invertebrates

95% of animals

vertebrates

5% of animals

diploblastic

2 embryonic cell layers

the two embryonic cell layers

ectoderm & endoderm

triploblastic

3 embryonic cell layers

the three embryonic cell layers

ectoderm


mesoderm


endoderm

the major distinction between protostomes & deuterostomes

their embryonic development distinguishes these two

protostomes

the opening of the blastopore is the mouth

deuterostomes

opening of the blastopore is the anus

animal body plan

the basic structural design of an animal

asymmetry (animal)

no plane of symmetry

radial symmetry (animal)

when any plane crossing the central axis can divide the animal into two similar parts

bilateral symmetry

only one plane can cut into the animal and make two roughly similar mirror images

body cavity

fluid-filled space that lies between cell layers within the body of many animals

ceolom

a body cavity lined by mesodermal (middle layer) layers

most animals can be grouped into three major categories based on the presence and structure of body cavity


1. Acoelomates


2. Pseudocoelomates


3. Coelomates


Acoelomates

3 cell layers


No body cavity


No ceolom

Purpose of nervous system

1. Coordinate movements


2. Allows sensory processing

Simplest group of animals

Sponges

Are flatworms acoelomates, pseudocoelomates, or coelomates?

This organism is an acoelomate

Pseudocoelomate

3 cell layers


Has a body cavity


Has a ceolom


Has a pseudocoel

Pseudocoel

A body cavity without complete mesodermal lining

Is a roundworm an acoelomate, a pseudocoelomate, or a coelomate?

This organism is a pseudocoelomate

Coelomate

3 cell layers


Has a body cavity


Has a true coelom

Is an earthworm an acoelomate, a pseudocoelomate, or a coelomate

This organism is a coelomate

Hydrostatic skeleton

A skeleton formed by a fluid filled compartment within the body (the coelom)

Functions of body segmentation

1. Improves movement control


2. Allows to alter the shape in complex ways


3. Facilitates specialization of different body regions

Functions of external appendages

1. Obtain food


2. Avoid predators


3. Enhance locomotion


4. Find mates

What characteristics do sponges have?

Mostly marine


Mostly asymmetrical


Loosely organized


Sessile


Have a supporting skeleton

What is a nematocyst?

A defense organelle: a threadlike structure produced by cells of jellyfish and other cnidarians, used chiefly to paralyze and capture prey

Are cnidarians diploblastic or triploblastic?

They are diploblastic

What are the names of the two embryonic cell layers?

Gastrodermis - inner layer


Epidermis - outer layer

These organisms are loosely organized in the sense that...

Sponges are loosely organized in the sense that they can disassociate and reassemble

Osculum

Opening at the top of the sponge where water exits

Choanocytes

Specialized feeding cells

Do sponges reproduce sexually or asexually?

Both

Do sponges have male reproductive organs or female reproductive organs?

Both. Sponges are mostly hermaphrodites

How do sponges sexually reproduce?

The egg + sperm form to make a zygote which then forms into a new sponge by mitosis

How do sponges asexually reproduce?

Budding fragmentation

Cnidarians have this name because...

They have cnidocytes

What are the names of the two embryonic cell layers of cnidarians?

Gastrodermis - inner layer


Epidermis - outer layer
