6 Kingdoms
archeobacteria, eubacteria, protista, fungi, plantae, animalia
Archeobacteria
unicellular and prokaryotic
eubacteria
both heterotrophic and autotrophic; main role is decomposition; unicellular/prokaryotic
Protista
unicellular but eukyrotic; there are three different types of protista(protozoans, slime molds, algae)
protozoans
some autotrophic, heterotrophic, and both. 5 different phyla based on its method of mobility
methods of mobility for protozoans
pseudopods, flagella, cillia or combinations.
slime molds
multicellular or multinucleate
algae
disputed as to which kingodm it should be in. 6 different divisions based on color
kingdom Fungi
mostly multicellular with a couple multinucleate; heterotrophic, all cells are haploid; 4 divisions based on how it decomposes.
important fungi symbiosis
1) fungi and blue green algae form lichen
2) fungi and mycorrhizae allow plants to gain extra nitrogen
kingdom plantae
multicellular; autotrophic; cuticle; stomata; has 10 divisions
cuticle
waxy coating to help moniter water intake
stomata
little holes on the bottom of leaves that intake carbon dioxside and exhale oxygen
10 divisions of plantae
1)bryophytes, 2)whisk ferns, 3) club mosses, 4) horsetails, 5) ferns -sori, 6) cycads, 7) gingkos, 8) gnetophyta, 9) conifers, 10) anthophyta~ flowering plants
Bryophytes
moss, liverwarts, hornworts
only non-vascular division
Xylem
transports water/minerals from roots to leaves
phoelom
transports sugar from leaves to anywhere that needs it
seedless vascular plants
whisk ferns, club mosses, horsetails, ferns
non protective seed producting plants
cycads, gingkos, gnetophyta, conifers
flowering plants
only plants that produce seeds and then protect them
kingdom animalia
multicellular, mobile, heterotrophic,
95-97% are invertabrite
30-35 different phyla
types of bodily symmetry
asymmetical~ no pattern
radial symmetric ~ center point and the rest if organized around that
bilateral symmetry~ externally symmetrical but often isn't internally (can only be split in one direction)
allopatric speciation
geographically seperate speciation
sympatric speciation
groups with geographical access to each other do seciation
prezygotic
premating, gamets are never passed, this is normal
postzygotic
postmating, happens after the gamets are passed, either the sperm will be unable to fertilize the egg or it will produce a steril hybrid or there will be a miscarige or still birth
Anthropoids
40mya larger mammals that were active during the day
New world monkey
small bodies, arboreal, long grabing tails, and 'flat' noses
arboreal
tree dweller
old world monkey
larger, downward facing noses, no tails, spread less time in trees
hominins
could have evolved from a hominoid but we can't be forsure, 4.4mya, some where between ape and man
huminoid
30mya new type of anthropoid
australopithecus
very diverse, fully uprite and bipedal, brain size is larger, 4 different kinds
4 kinds of Australopithecus
A. Africanos
A. Afarensis
A. Robustus
A. Bosei
Africanos
small(3 feet tall); light bones; 440 cc cranial vault; very round skull; small teeth; spine and skull are perpendicular
Afarensis
'lucy' might end up being the same as africanos
robustus
bigger; heavier bones; wider face; large moeller teeth; 500 cc cranial vault; bumby part on back of skull possibly where the jaw muscles attached
Bosie
very similar to robustus might be part of the same class
2-1.5mya
new genus 'homo' which doesn't have to have evolved from austalopithecus
homo habilis
3-3.5 feet tall; 680-775 cc cranial vault; super long arms; could have started makeing and using tools
1.6mya-300,000ya
homo erectus
homo erectus
skeleton is super similar to present day humans; thinker skulls; very low/large eye brow ridges; 1000cc cranial vault; active hunters; over 4 feet tall
400,000-200,000ya
homo sapiens
homo sapiens
led to the end of all other austalopithecus species; 1300 cc cranial vault
totipotent cells
generic cells that do not have a specific perpose yet
ectoderm
outer covering (skin)
Mesoderm
connective tissue (bones, cartilage, muscle, blood)
Endoderm
coverings and linings of organs
mesoglea
instead of mesoderm and is the noncellular filling between ectoderm and endoderm
Body cavity
a fluid filled space, usually between ectoderm and endoderm
gastrovascular cavity
found in jelly fish; is not a real cavity
platyhelminthes organisms...
...don't have body cavities; have acoelomate
acoelomate
cavity filled with tissue call parenchyma
coelomate
have cavities which happen in the mesoderm
protostome
first cavity that forms in the embryotic stage in the mouth
deuterostome
first embryotic cavity will be the adult anus the second cavity will be the mouth
choanocytes
flagellated cells that move through water (unique to sponges)
Phylum Cnidaria
sting; only have two germ levels; two forms
two forms of cnidaria
polyp- sac
medusae - polyp filled over
Phylum platyhelminthes
2 way digestive track; starting to develope organs; phenomenal regeneration;
three tissue classes; biginning of eye ports and nervous system
3 classes of platyhelminthes
free living forms, flukes, tapeworms
Phylum nemertinea
first pseudoceoles
ring worm
Phylum nematoda
parasitic and free living; roundworms; also called pseudocoelomate
phylum mollusca
soft and squishy; big, intelligent; no regeneration; gills for breathing; radula; snails, slugs, squid, clams
Phylum Annelida
worms, leeches, polikeet; externally segmented and have multiple hearts (usually 5)
"phylum" anthropoda
no longer a taxonomic group; metaporphosis and molting extend life; exoskeletons made of chertin which anchor the muscles
onychophorans
link between annelida and arthropoda; live in tropical forests and have bright blue appendages
Phylum echinodermata
bilateral in larval stage but become radial in adult stage; can regenerate; don't have blood in stead circulate water
"phylum" choradata
no longer a taxinomical group; deuterostomes; 4 key features; now 3 phyla
4 key features of choradata
notochord, dorsal hollow nerve cord, pharyngeal gill slits, post-anal tail
post-anal tail in humans
reabsorbed and turned into legs and arms during the embryotic stage
pharyngeal gill slits in humans
changed into neck and lungs during embryotic stage
dorsal, hollow nerve cord in humans
replaced with brain and nerve cord
notochord
primitvie stages of a spinal cord, humans have a fully developed spinal cord
three phyla of chordata
urochordata; cephalochordata, vertebrata
phylum urochordata
sea squirts or tunicates
phylum cephalochoradata
odd group with no commonly known examples
phylum vertebrata
humans; horses; fish; whales; frogs; snakes; lots of birds; sharks; etc; homologous
six classes of vertebrata
cartilaginous fish; true bony fish; amphilbia; reptilia; aves; mammalia
class reptilia
egg layers; can live terrestrially; ectothermic; stilted
ectothermic
temperature is regulated by the external environment
stilted
change the bodies position in relation to the ground through out the day; moring is close to the ground they slowly move away until midday and then they start to get closer to the ground again
amniotic eggs
soft, pliable, porous membranes support the embryo. water within the egg helps regulate temperature and keeps the parts from sticking together
class aves
endothermic; can fly; amniotic eggs
endothermic
body heat regulated internally
class mammalia
hair or fur; homeothermic; mammary glands; usually placental.
homeothermic
can regulate body temperature reguardless of external environment
monotreens
mammals that lay eggs; all found in australia; ex platypus
marsupials
have underdeveloped young that work their way from the womb to a protective pouch; natural to austalia; usually have one in pouch, one waiting to get into the pouch, and 1-2 in development
advantages to marsupials
don't invest as much in the young so can plan their births better; can escape predators easier
placental
heldwithin body for a long time; develope in a watery sac, usually far developedand independent when born (except primates who's young need to be cared for/protected)
advantage to placental
better developed young
disadvantage to placental
slower birth rate; cumbersome(bad for everyday movement and getting away from predators)
what makes a primate a primate?
opposable thumbs; most developed brain; 5 digits per limb; nail placement at end of digits; well developed ball/socket joints; bipedal motion; decreased dependency on smell; increased care for young; good visual acuity
ball/socket joints
allow for lots of motion
ex: radius can rotate over ulna
bipedal motion
upright posture, leads to poor knee and ankle joints
bipedal hierarchy
humans(all time bipedal), chimps (most time bipedal), gorillas (equal time bipedal and knuckle walking)
visual acuity
field of vision, takes into acount steroscopic vision
steroscopic vision
depth perseption
class porifera
sponges; multicellular but with out tissue; choanocytes; not mobile as adults; asexual and sexual reproduction; spicules and spongin fiber
spicules and spongin fiber
skeltal structure of porifera
three germ or tissue layers
ectoderm; mesoderm; endoderm
radula
small teeth that scrap/cut the food
metamorphosis
complex process of development from larva (very long) to adult (very short)
why is vertabrata homologous?
feathers, scales and hair all come from the same gene
pseudocoelomate
false cavities that are not formed during embryonic stage
