- Back
Eukaryotic |
An organism with a nucleus |
|
Mulitcellular |
An organism with more than one cell |
|
Heterotrophic |
Organisms who cannot make their own food |
|
Invertebrates |
Animals without backbones |
|
Exoskelton |
Hard or tough outer coverings that provide a framework of support, protect soft body tissue, and provide protection from predators |
|
Vertebrates |
Animals without backbones |
|
Zygote |
Fertilization occur when the sperm penetrates the egg to form a fertilized egg. |
|
Blastula |
The cells continue to divide, forming a fluid-filled ball of cells |
|
Gastrula |
The blastula continues to undergo cell division as some cells move inward. |
|
Endoderm |
Inner level of cells in the gastrula |
|
Ectoderm |
Outer layer of cells in the gastrula |
|
Mesoderm |
Layer of cells between the endoderm and ectoderm |
|
Asymmerty |
Animals that are irregularly shaped with no symmetry |
|
Radial Symmetry |
Animals that can be divided down any central plane and be the same - like a jelly fish |
|
Bilateral Symmetry |
Can be divided into mirror images - like a butterfly |
|
Cephalization |
The tendency to concentrate nervous tissue and sensory organs at the anterior end of the animal |
|
Coelomates |
Have a fluid-filled cavity with tissue formed from mesoderm that lines and encloses the organs in the coelom. |
|
Pseudocoelomates |
Have a fluid-filled body cavity that develops between the mesoderm and the endoderm rather than developing entirely within the mesoderm. |
|
Acoelomates |
Having solid bodies without a fluid-filled body cavity between the gut and the body wall. |
|
Protostomes |
The mouth develops from the first opening in the gastrula |
|
Deuterostomes |
The anus develops from the first opening in the gastrula. |
|
Archaeoctyes |
Specialized cells that secrete spicules, which are support structure of sponges. |
|
Spicules |
Spicules are small, needlelike structures made of calcium carbonate, silica, or a tough fibrous protein called spongin |
|
Cnidocytes |
Have one body opening and two layers of cells, outer layer of functions in protecting the internal body, inner layer function mainly digestions |
|
Nematocysts |
A capsule that hold a coiled tube containing poison and barbs |
|
Nerve Net |
Conducts impulses to and from all parts of the body |
|
Collar Cells |
Cells that line the inside of a sponge. |
|
ancestral animals at the beginning of the evolutionary tree be classified as what |
Eukaryotic and Multicellular |
|
In terms of feeding and digestion, all animals are classified as what? |
Heterotrophic |
|
List the 2 functions of the exoskeleton |
Protect soft body tissues Provide protection from predators |
|
List 2 functions of the Endoskelelton |
Protect internal organs Provide support for the body |
|
What has enabled animals to move in ways that are more complex and faster than organisms in other kingdoms |
the evolution of nerve and muscle tissues |
|
Briefly explain internal fertilization and external fertilization |
internal happens on the inside and external happens on the outside |
|
List 3 types of asexual reproduction |
Budding Fragmentation Regeneration |
|
What is so unique about the offspring of asexual reproduction |
A single paren produces offspring that are genetically identical to itself |
|
What develops in each of the following layers of cells in the gastrula |
Endoderm Digestive Organs Mesoderm Muscle Tissue Ectoderm Skin |
|
Briefly explain each type of symmetry |
Asymmetry - no symmetry at all Radial - central axis- many slices Bilateral Symmetry - Central axis cut will give you two mirror images |
|
List the 2 ways that segmentation benefits animals |
Can survive damage to one segment Movement is more effective |
|
Why are sponges considered to be primitive animals |
They are not made up of tissues |
|
Explain the process of "filter feeding" |
Food particles cling to the cells Digestion of nutrients takes place within each cell |
|
What is the main difference between the body plans of sponges and cnidarians |
Sponges do not develop tissue Cnidarians have one main body opening and two rows of cells |
|
Explain the feeding process of cnidarians |
Stings cells in the nematocyst to paralyze prey and then pull them in |
|
What are the two body forms of cnidarians |
polyp medusa |
|
List the 3 kinds of Cnidarians |
Hydroids Jellyfish Corals |
