Card preview (18)

#1
Front (Question)

Patterns of organization (symmetry)

Back (Answer)

Asymmetry Radial Symmetry (oral-aboral) - biradial -pentaradial Bilateral symmetry (most complex animals) - display cephalization -dorsal/ventral plane, anterior/posterior plane)

#2
Front (Question)

Diploblastic organization

Back (Answer)

two embryonic tissue layers - ectoderm (outer, epidermis) -endoderm (inner, digestion) separated by the mesoglea

#3
Front (Question)

Triploblastic organization

Back (Answer)

-ectoderm (outer, epidermis) -endoderm (inner, digestion) -mesoderm (bulk of body tissues)

#4
Front (Question)

Triploblastic organization (body cavities)

Back (Answer)

coelom: body cavity completely surrounded by mesoderm Acoelomate - Do not have a coelom - Pretty much have no body cavities Pseudocoelomate - Have a body cavity but is not surrounded completely by mesoderm tissue - Not a true coelom - Flatworms Coelomate - More complex animals - Have a true coelom

#5
Front (Question)

Protostomes vs Deuterostomes

Back (Answer)

Proto: spiral cleavage, blastophore develops into mouth, trocophore larvae, schizocoelous coelom - spiral cleavage is division along diff axis/twists Deutero: radial cleavage (aligns directly), blastophore develops into anus, enterocoelous coleom

#6
Front (Question)

protists are usually unicellular but that does not mean that they are ___

Back (Answer)

simple

#7
Front (Question)

what are the contractile vacuole, cytoproct and pellicle that we see in many protists

Back (Answer)

Contractile vacuole - regulates water content Cytoproct: digestive waste products are eliminated Pellicle: Consists of outer plasma membrane and a thin region of cytoplasm, high concentration of materials that allow a certain degree of rigidity - gives a particular shape - Not all unicellular protists have this - composed of microtubules

#8
Front (Question)

ways of asexual reproduction

Back (Answer)

binary fission (most common) Schizogony: means to split - Series of mitosis (nuclear divisions) not immediately followed by cell division ○ Produced a cell with lots of nuclei, later divides into multiple cells with identical nuclei Budding

#9
Front (Question)

Important Protozoan groups

Back (Answer)

Excavata -excavated feeding groove -flagellated -modified anaerobic mitochondria -pathogens Amoebozoa: -use pseudopodia to feed/move lack supporting structure -amoeboid in shape Rhizaria Alveolata -stacked vesicles highly variable plastids dinoflagellates

#10
Front (Question)

Metazoa (basal animal phyla)

Back (Answer)

multicellular animals are mobile (have contractile proteins)

#11
Front (Question)

apoptosis

Back (Answer)

process where cells strategically die

#12
Front (Question)

Phylum Porifera characteristics (sponges)

Back (Answer)

asymmetrical/radial symmetry water filtration no tissues or organs spicules: supporting structures unique to these animals

#13
Front (Question)

evolutionary impacts of multicellularity

Back (Answer)

increased complexity division of labour morphological diversity social behaviour/symbiotic relationships

#14
Front (Question)

Porifera basic body form

Back (Answer)

two cell layers - ponacocyte choanocyte has microvilli to draw in water

#15
Front (Question)

reproduction of Porifera

Back (Answer)

asexual mostly: release gemmules (little balls of cells) sexual: monoecious

#16
Front (Question)

what is considered sister to animals

Back (Answer)

choanoflagellates/choanocytes

#17
Front (Question)

Cnideria

Back (Answer)

jellyfish, corals, anemones nettles that sting dont have a mesoderm radial symmetry central gastrovascular cavity simple nervous system cnidocytes -stinging or sticky

#18
Front (Question)

generalized life cycle of cniderians

Back (Answer)

polyp/medusa cycle polyp: on ground medusa: inverted polyp, free swimming
