Chapter 18 The Evolution of Invertebrate Diversity Flashcards
(76 cards)
With more than a million species– nearly three-quarters of all animal species– these are exemplars of animal diversity.
Insects
What characteristics make up an animal? (3)
- Eukaryotes
- Multi cellular heterotrophs, and have cells that lack cell walls.
- Use ingestion (the eating of food)
Absorbs nutrients after ingesting food outside their body?
Fungi
What does diploid mean?
Full set of chromosomes
What does haploid mean?
1/2 set of chromosomes
Are eggs and sperm haploid or diploid?
haploid
The zygote divides by mitosis to form a hallow ball of cells called a ________
Blastula
What is formed when sperm and egg fuse during fertilization?
Zygote
One side of the blastula folds in and cells become rearranged to form a _______ that establishes three embryonic layers.
Gastrula
What are the 3 embryonic layers?
- Endoderm
- Ectoderm
- Mesoderm
Embryonic layer that forms a lining of the future digestive tract.
Endoderm
Embryonic layer that forms an outer layer that will give rise to the skin and nervous system.
Ectoderm
Embryonic layer that forms a middle layer that will give rise to muscles and most internal organs.
Mesoderm
Invagination of ectoderm to form CNS. (makes a tube)
Neuralation
An immature individual that looks different from the adult animal.
Larva
A larva undergoes a major change in body form, called ____________, and becomes a reproductively mature adult.
Metamorphosis
Acceleration of animal diversification during the Cambrian period.
Cambrian explosion
The most celebrated source of Cambrian fossils is the _____ ______, containing a cornucopia of perfectly preserved animal fossils.
Burgess Shale
What may have caused the Cambrian explosion? (2)
- Increasing complex predator-prey relationships or
- An increase in atmospheric oxygen.
Animals with a backbone.
Vertebrates
Animals without a backbone.
Invertebrates
Roughly what percent of animals are invertebrates?
96%
Animals without true tissues.
Sponges
Animals with true tissues.
Eumetazoans
