Chapter 32 Flashcards
(61 cards)
Why are animals such effective consumers?
Multicellular eukaryotic heterotrophs with tissues that develop from embryonic layers
Are fungi autotrophic or heterotrophic? How do they feed?
Heterotrophic, absorption (ingesting nutrients by digesting them outside their bodies first)
How does animal and fungi consumption differ?
Animals digest inside their bodies, fungi digest outside
Animals, plants, and most fungi are
Multicellular
Do fungi have cell walls?
Sometimes
What do animals have instead of cell walls to support cells and connect them to each other?
Proteins
What protein is the most common to connect/support animal cells? Is this found in plants/fungi?
Collagen, no
What do structural proteins do?
Support
What is an example of a structural protein and its function?
Keratin- in hair, horns, feathers, cocoons, webs, etc.
What is a zygote?
A fertilized egg
What is cleavage?
The process of Mitotic cell division
What is a blastula?
Hollow ball of cells
What is a blastocoel?
Empty space inside a blastulaW
What is a blastospore?
Opening on a blastula/gastrula
What is gastrulation?
A process where one end of the embryo folds inward and fills blastocoel, producing 3 layers of embryonic tissues (gastrula)
What is the ectoderm?
Outer layer
What is the endoderm?
Inner layer
WHat is an archenteron?
Pouch formed by gastrulation
What do most animal life cycles include?
At least one larval stage
What contributes to most animal’s development? What do they do?
Regulatory Hox genes, control development
What is a gastrula?
2 or 3 layered embryo
How long have animals been around?
500 million years+
What are choanoflagellates (protist group) most closely related to?
Animals
When was the neoprotozoic era?
1 billion to 541 million years ago
