common characteristic between nematodes and artropods?
|
cuticle that molts (ecdysis)
|
|
ecdysozoa evolved independently?
|
only evolved once
|
|
nematode means
|
thread
|
|
what are the most abundant animals alive today
|
roundworms (nematode)
|
|
are nematodes segmented?
|
no
|
|
true or false: nematodes have a complete digestive tract
|
true
|
|
nematodes: coelomate, acoelomate, pseudocoelomate?
|
mostly pseudocoelomate, few acoelomate
|
|
how many times do nematodes molt
|
4
|
|
nematodes have longitudinal muscle only, therefore __________________ waves
|
sinusoidal, alternating contractions of muscles on dorsal and ventral surfaces
|
|
nematode locomotion is constrained by
|
rigid cuticle
turgid (firm) body wall due to hydrostatic skeleton no locomotory cilia no circular muscles no appendages |
|
how do nematodes grow?
|
eutely, grow by increasing cell size, not cell number
|
|
how are nematodes helpful in medicine (Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine)
|
genetic regulation of organ devt. and programmed cell death
nematode starts with 1090 cells, 131 later eliminated, ends up with 959 cells genetic basis for cell death may be key to control of certain diseasaes like AIDS or stroke (involve excessive cell death) |
|
arthropoda means
|
jointed foot
|
|
arthropods= percentage of all animal species
|
75%
|
|
successful arthropod characteristics
|
chitinous exoskeleton
jointed appendages striated muscle segmentation and tagmatization (specialized groups of segments: head/thorax/abdomen) |
|
arthropod circulatory system: open/closed?
|
open
|
|
do arthropods have eyes?
|
yes, compound image-forming eyes
|
|
true or false: arthropods have motile cilia
|
false, they lost it
|
|
true or false: arthropods have no respiratory or excretory systems
|
false, they have novel systems
|
|
how are molluscs and arthropods similar?
|
hard outer covering
|
|
are molluscs and arthropods homologous?
|
no
shell does not = exoskeleton |
|
how are annelids and arthropods similar?
|
legs
|
|
are annelids and arthropods homologous?
|
no, parapodia does not = jointed appendages
|
|
how are chordates and arthropods simlar?
|
hard skeletons; functionally similar
|
|
are chordates and arthropods homologous?
|
chtin exoskeleton does not = CaCo3 endoskeleton
|
|
how are nematodes and arthropods simlar?
|
molting
|
|
are nematodes and arthropods homologous?
|
yes
|
|
homologous
|
derived from common ancestor
|
|
molting steps
|
epidermis secretes new soft cuticle under old hard cuticle
sheds old hard cuticle |
|
which is faster and more responsive: smooth muscle or striated muscle
|
striated muscle: found in arthropods and vertebrates
|
|
in arthropods, muscles attach to
|
inner surface of outer skeleton
|
|
in vertebrates, muscles attach to
|
outer surface of inner skeleton
|
|
crustaceans are biramous/uniramous
|
biramous
|
|
insects are biramous/uniramous
|
uniramous
|
|
arthropod wings are
|
saclike outgrowth of body wall
sheets of chitin and protein |
|
how many pairs of wings do arthropods usually have
|
2
|
|
wing up
muscle contractions/relaxations |
tergum down
vertical muscles contract longitudinal muscles relax |
|
wings down
muscle contractions/relaxations |
turgum up
longitudinal muscles contract vertical muscles relax |
