QuestionAnswer
Diploblast animals whose embryos have two types of tissue
Tripoblast animals whose embryos have three types of tissue
Endoderm connection to digestive track ex: liver , gut
Ectoderm gives rise to skin and nervous system
Mesoderm in between endoderm and ectoderm middle of the skin ex muscles and organs
4 sources of evidence Fossils, comparative morphology, comparative development, comparative geonomics
Detritivores feed on dead organic matter
Herbivores feed on plants or algae
Carnivores feed on animals
Omnivores feed on a variety of organisms, including plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaea, and/or bacteria
Most carnivores are predators
Deposit feeders digest organic matter in sediments
Mass feeders ingest chunks of food
Hydrostatic skeletons derive support from a flexible body wall in tension surrounding a fluid or soft tissue under compression. They occur mostly in soft-bodied organisms such as sea anemones, earthworms, and octopuses.
Endoskeletons derive support from rigid structures inside the body, such as bones in vertebrates and spicules in sponges.
Exoskeletons derive support from rigid structures on the outside of the body, such as the external armor of arthropods.
Magnetic field Many birds, sea turtles, sea slugs, and other animals can detect Earth’s magnetic field and use it as an aid in navigation
Electric field Some aquatic predators, such as sharks, are so sensitive to electric fields that they can detect electrical activity in the muscles of passing prey
Barometric pressure Some birds can sense changes in air pressure, which may aid them in avoiding storms.
Ectoparasites live on the outside of their hosts, usually have limbs or mouthparts that allow them to grasp the host
Endoparasites live inside their hosts and usually have simple, wormlike bodies
Suspension Feeders capture food by filtering out particles floating in water or drifting through air
Fluid Feeders suck up or mop up liquids
Viviparous species gives birth through live young
Oviparous species deposited fertilized eggs
Amniotic eggs have four membranes with four distinct functions.
Amnion contains the embryo
The yolk sac contains nutrients
Allantois contains waste from the embryo
Chorion allows gas exchange
What is special about marcupials Youngs spend more time developing on the outside the mothers body than on the inside
Adult echnioderm posses a ring of nerve cells around the mouth
Adult urochordates sessile and saclike, whereas others are
Cephalochordates (lancelets) look like fish but are benthic invertebrates; juvenile cephalochordates are planktonic larvae
Hemichordates acorn worms, which burrow in marine sands or muds and make their living by deposit feeding or suspension feeding
Key innovation in vertebrates large, three-part brain, protected by a hard cranium
