highly conserved sequances of RNA that are easy to trace evolutionarily.
Archaea qualities
extremophiles: live in extreme conditions.
methanogens: produce methane as product.
halophiles: live in high-salt environments.
therophiles: live in high-temperature environments.
protists
can be photoautotrophs, heterotrophs, or mixotrophs (both). most are motile and very diverse in size. reproduction can be asexual, sexual or syngamy. symbiosis and endomembranes allow for compartments and complexity.
land plants cassification
1. Apical meristems make new tissue.
2. multicellular, dependent embryos and placental transfer cells.
3. alteration of generations.
4. walled spores produced in sporangia.
5. multicellular gametangia.
usually. . . .
6. waxy cuticle.
7. xylem and phloem.
8. stomata.
animals
store carbohydrates as glycogen (liver)
no cell walls with junctions in cells: desmosomes, gap and tight.
Nervous and muscle tissue.
Usually sexual reproduction with flagellated sperm and nonmotile egg.
Cambrian explosion
diversified animal life.
choanoflagellates
free living or colonial flagellated unicellular forms of life. closest living relative to animals.
ectoderm
the embryonic tissue that later covers the outside of the body.
mesoderm
later forms the coelem and develops into cardiac, skeletal, and smooth (gut)muscles, organs, blood cells,
endoderm
third layer of embryonic development that forms the lungs, some of the liver, bladder, digestive tube, parts of the mouth, etc.
diploblastic
two primary germ layers in the ovum: endoderm and ectoderm
triploblastic
three layers in the ovum: ectoderm, endoderm and the mesoderm
Acoelomate
animals like flatworms with no body cavity at all.
Pseudocoelomate
animals like roundworms with a "false cavity" (a fully functioning body cavity with partial mesoderm lining and organs heald loosely and not well organized)
Coelomate
Animals with a fully funcioning, mesoderm-lined (called Peritoneum)body cavity with organized organs heald in fluid. includes most bilateral animals.
Protosomes
