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 |
|
