44 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • 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
