Question | Answer |
---|---|
5000 species | Porifera |
Asymmetric bodies and lack distinct tissues, often classified from other animals | Porifera |
Immobile except in early stages | Porifera |
Collect food particles by sweeping flagellated cells | Porifera |
Flagellated cells | Choanocytes |
10,000 species | Cnidaria |
Also Called coelenterate | Cnidaria |
Develop from two layered embryo and have two separate tissue layers and radial symmetry | Cnidaria |
Diploblastic | two-layered |
Two live stages, mobile usually medusa and the sessile polyp | Cnidaria |
Nematocysts | Stinging cells |
Hydras, Sea anemones, Corals, Jellyfish, portugese man o war | Cnidaria |
15, 000 species | Platyhelminthes and Nematoda |
Flatworms are most primitive phylum to develop this | Triploblastic (3 layered embryo). |
Bilateral body symmetry, and are acoelomate (lack body cavity) | Platyhelminthes |
Space between digestive tract and body wall is filled with tissue | Platyhelminthes |
Have true head and brain, but digestive system has one opening that functions as both mouth and anus | Platyhelmintheez |
Most are flatworms and hermaphroditic | Platyhelminthees |
Parasites like tapeworms, flukes, and free living organism like planarians | Platyhelmintheez |
Roundworms | Nematoda |
Unsugmented worms that live in many habitats | Nematoda |
Pseudocoelomate | Nematoda |
3 tissue layers that are concentric, but the body cavity is not lined with tissue from the mesoderm | Nematoda |
Mesoderm | middle embryonic layer |
Like platyhelmintheez are parasitic and freeliving | Nematoda |
Hookworms and things that cause elephantiasis, trichinosis, and river blindness | Nematoda |
Soil ones are pests, but others kill plant pests | Nematoda |
The nematode species that is common subject in genetics labs - Caenorhabdis elegans | |
11,500 species | Annelida |
Segmented worms represent first lineage of truly eucoelomate animals | Annelida |
Eucoelomate | having a body cavity lined with mesoderm tissue) |
Body cavities are lined with tissue derived from embryonic mesoderm | Annelida |
Polychareta and terrestrial Oligochaeta classes and leeches | Annelida |
Earthworms | Annelida |
Have kidney structure, blood vessels, and sometimes hermphroditism | Annelids |
800,000 species | Arthropoda |
Most diverse and duccessful phylum on earth with about 75% of all species | Arthropoda |
Characterized by joited legs and a chitinous exoskeleton | Arthropoda |
Segmented but segments are usually fused into larger body parts with special function | Arthropoda |
Insects, centipedes, millipedes | Uniramia |
Arachnids, sea spiders, horseshoe crabs | Chelicerata |
