Evolution of Animals

        Help!  

Question
Answer
describe an animal   eukaryotic, multicellular heterotrophs that eat their food, do not have cell, have intercellular junctions  
🗑
what is the difference betwn. animal and fungi?   fungi digest their food externally and have cell walls  
🗑
3 phyla that dominate life on land   arthropoda; mollusca; chordata  
🗑
where did the animal kingdom originated from?   from colonial protists  
🗑
a phylogenetic tree is based on what?   patterns of embryonic development and some fundamental structures  
🗑
the 2 subkingdoms of animalia   parazoa and eumetazoa  
🗑
parazoa   no symmetry, tissues or organs, 1 phylum (sponges)  
🗑
eumetazoa   35 phyla; radially symmetrical and bilateral symmetry  
🗑
what is the simplest animals?   sponges  
🗑
what may be the ancestors of all animals?   choanoflagellates  
🗑
the layres of eumetazoans   ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm  
🗑
two types of eumetazoans   radial, and bilateral  
🗑
2 radially symmetric phyla   cnidaria and ctenophora  
🗑
cnidarians   radial animals with stining threads, simplest animals with tissues; carnivores  
🗑
2 basic body forms of cindarians   medusae and polyps  
🗑
medusae   free-floating, gelatinous and often umbrella-shaped  
🗑
polyps   cylindrical, pipe-shaped and attached to a rock  
🗑
what has the simplest nervous system   cnidarians  
🗑
cnidarians neurons are linked to one another through a what?   nerve net  
🗑
are most animals radial or bilateral?   bilateral  
🗑
cephalization   a head with sensory structures  
🗑
3 kinds of body plans   acoelomates; pseudocoelomates; coelomates  
🗑
does acoelomates have body cavity?   no  
🗑
flat worms   simplest of all bilaterally symmetrical animals  
🗑
describe a flat worm eyes   have eyespots (perceive light direction but not a visual image)  
🗑
describe flat worm nervous system   have simple nervous system (first associative activity not just reflexes like cn); permits complex control of muscles  
🗑
does psuedocoelomates have a body cavity?   yes, a pseudo body cavity  
🗑
caenorhabditis elegans   only animal whose complete cellular anatomy is known; first animal whose genome was fully sequenced  
🗑
true body cavities allow:   circulation, movement, organ function  
🗑
circulation   passage of material  
🗑
movement   muscle-driven body movement  
🗑
mollusks   only phylum of coelomates without a segmented body; second largest animal phylum, after arthropods  
🗑
3 major groups of mollusks   gastropods (snails and slugs), bivalves (clams, oysters, and scallops), cephalopods (octopuses and squids)  
🗑
segmentation   building of a body from a series of similar segments; it offers evolutionary flexibility  
🗑
Over 66% of all named animals are in the phylum what?   phylum arthropoda (arthropods)  
🗑
arthropods   segmented animals w/exoskeletons and jointed appendages  
🗑
what were the first land animals?   millipedes and centipedes  
🗑
80% of all arthropods are what?   insects  
🗑
insects   most diverse group of organisms; have 3 part body  
🗑
3 part body of insects   head, thorax, and abdomen  
🗑
how many developmental patterns does coelomates have?   2 developmental patterns  
🗑
name the 2 developmental patterns of coelomates   protostomes and deuterostomes  
🗑
protostomes   egg cleaves spirally; cell are committed early; mouth develops from/near the blastopore  
🗑
deuterostomes   egg cleaves radially; cellular commitment occurs late, the anus develop from/near the blastopore  
🗑
the phylum echinodermata (echinoderms)   6,000 living marine species; endoskeleton; bilaterally symmetrical as larvae but become radially symmetrical as adults  
🗑
what phylum are deuterostomes   echinoderms and chordates  
🗑
examples of echinoderms   starfish, sea urchins, sea lilies, sea cucumbers, and sand dollars  
🗑
what phylum are we in?   chordata  
🗑
chordata   segmented animals with four distinctive feature  
🗑
4 distinctive features of chordata   nerve cord, stiff notochord, pharyngeal slits behind the mouth, muscular post-anal tail  
🗑
which chordates are not vertebrates   tunicates and lancelets  
🗑
vertebrates have what?   an internal skeleton of bone and cartilage  
🗑
distinguishing features of vertebrates   head and backbone  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
