Bio chp 13 part 2

QuestionAnswer
Tunicates -Invertebrate marine animals -Defined tissues; bilateral symmetry; deuterostome development -Adults look like balls of jelly -Sessile filter feeders (nonmobile) -Chordate features are present in larvae.
Lancelets -Invertebrate coastal marine animals -Bilaterally symmetrical; deuterostome development -Embryonic and adult tunicates possess all the chordate characteristics. -Filter feeders
vertebrates 1. Lampreys 2. Cartilaginous fishes (jaws) 3. Ray-finned fishes (internal bony) 4. Lobe-finned fishes (lobed) 5. Amphibians (legs w/ multiple digits) 6. Reptiles and birds (AMNIOTIC EGG) 7. Mammals (hair)
fishes w/o jaws -Tail propels organism through water -Feed by attaching oral disk to prey
fishes w/ jaws -Fins provide controlled movement through water -Jaws lined with sharp teeth allow for seizing and chewing prey
Cartilaginous fishes -Characterized by a skeleton made completely from cartilage
Ray-finned fishes -Characterized by rigid bones and fins lined with hardened rays -Possess a swim bladder, which aids in flotation
Lobe-finned fishes -Characterized by two pairs of sturdy fins on the underside of the body
from water to land -problem: respiration solution: lungs -problem: gravity solution: limbs and modified vertebrae - problem: egg desiccation (eggs resist dry out on land) solution: amniotic egg: waterproof eggshell
non-amniotes -reproduce in water -amphibians
amniotes -amniotic egg -reptiles, birds, mammals
amphibian life cycle 1. egg: amphibians have non-amniotic eggs 2. juveniles: Amphibians spend their juvenile stage underwater and undergo metamorphosis to develop legs and lungs 3. adults: Only the adults are true land animals
reptiles -skin covered in scales -Body temperature is controlled by external conditions -snakes, lizards, turtles, crocodiles, alligators
birds -have feathers and wings -Body temperature is maintained by heat generated from cellular respiration (endothermic)
endothermy -heat from within -in mammals: longer legs to become more mobile, and hair
mammals 1. MONOTREMES 2. MARSUPIALS 3. PLACENTAL MAMMALS
monotremes -females lay eggs -produce milk, but have no nipples -only 5 species
marsupials -gestation periods -young complete development in mothers pouch -300 species
PLACENTAL MAMMALS Females have a placenta that provides oxygen and nutrients to embryos in the uterus (elephant)
life in the trees -arboreal -eyes (forward-directing) -arms (shoulders and elbow joints) -fingers and toes (10 fingers and 10 toes)
primates -prosimians (lemurs) -monkeys -apes (gorillas and humans)
chimpanzee to modern humans -diverge about 5 to 6 million years ago -Three major anatomical differences: 1. Bipedalism 2. Brain volume 3. Body size
Homo neanderthalensis (Neandertals) -Europe and the Middle East -Similar in size to modern humans
Homo erectus -Migrated to Asia at least a million years earlier -Still present ~50,000 years ago (Java) -Size of modern humans with smaller brain
Homo floresiensis (flores man) -Only about 3 feet tall
