1
Key traits of animals
all multicellular. lack cell walls but have extracellular matrix
New cards
2
Extracellular matrix (ECM)
structural support. composition depends on tissue type. fibrous component contains collagen
New cards
3
All animals are
heterotrophic and motile at some life stage
New cards
4
Most animals feed by
ingestion
New cards
5
all but sponges have
nerve cells and muscles
New cards
6
Most animals are
diploid and form gametes via meiosis
New cards
7
Metazoans
all animals
New cards
8
Eumetazoans
animals with tissues
New cards
9
When did animals originate?
700 mya. chemical evidence of steriods by sponges same as today around 710 mya
New cards
10
First animal fossils
about 560 mya. soft-bodied, resembled sponges, cnidarians and mollusks
New cards
11
Ediacaran biota
first animal fossils named after time period they date to
New cards
12
What was the protistan ancestor of animals?
Choanoflagellates. DNA evidence shows sister taxa
New cards
13
Choanocytes
collar cells of sponges, resemble choanoflagellate cells
New cards
14
Animals are what kind of phylogenetic group?
monophyletic
New cards
15
Basal phylum
diverged early from root of the tree. in animals this is Porifera
New cards
16
Most animals are in the groups
Bilateral, and most are invertebrates.
New cards
17
Radial symmetry
multiple planes of symmetry (i.e. jellyfish) can sense environment from all sides because uniform distribution of nerve/sensory cells
New cards
18
Bilateral symmetry
single plane of symmetry. Central NS and Cephalization
New cards
19
Central NS and Cephalization
concentration of nerves/senses at anterior (head). can coordinate complex movements & sense environment when entered
New cards
20
Tissue
group of cells organized into structural and functional units.
New cards
21
Tissues form as
germ layers (embryonic tissue layers)
New cards
22
ectoderm
gives rise to skin and nervous system
New cards
23
endoderm
gives rise to lining of digestive system
New cards
24
Diploblasts
animals with two germ layers (i.e. jellyfish)
New cards
25
Triploblasts
animals with three germ layers
New cards
26
Endoderm in triploblasts
leads to lining of digestive, respiratory, reproductive systems
New cards
27
Mesoderm
gives rise to muscles, bones and most organs. allows for development of complex muscles for movement
New cards
28
Coelom
Fluid filled body cavity between inner and outer tubes. Chamber acts as hydrostatic skeleton
New cards
29
Hydrostatic
Involves fluid filled cavity
New cards
30
Hydrostatic skeleton
muscles work against fluid filled cavity
New cards
31
Body cavity allows
space for organ development, support and movement of larger bodies that lack limbs, and circulation of nutrients, gases and wastes.
New cards
32
Acoelomates
No body cavity
New cards
33
Psuedocoelomates
Body cavity partially lined with mesoderm
New cards
34
Coelomates
body cavity completely lines with mesoderm
New cards
35
Cambrian explosion
appearance of ancestors of several modern day phyla
New cards
36
Diversification of animals in Cambrian
time period in which animals could have larger bodies thanks to more O2, and could make more ATP in aerobic metabolism

evolution of predation
New cards
37
Non-bilaterian phyla
Porifera and Cnidaria
New cards
38
Sponges
benthic: freshwater and marine species. sessile. filter feeders. covered with pores for water intake
New cards
39
Choanocytes in sponges
drive water flow and engulf food. amoebocytes also engulf food
New cards
40
Spicules
provide support to sponge. made of CaCO3, SiO2, or spongin
New cards
41
Cnidaria
radially symmetrical diploblasts. mesoglea (inner gelatinous layer). jellies, sea anemones, corals and hydrozoans. polyp and medusa stages of life.
New cards
42
Synapomorphy of cnidarians
cnidocytes. specialized in capturing prey. possess gastrovascular cavity
New cards
43
Nematocyst
coiled structure, discharges when disturbed. grabs prey. part of cnidocyte.
