Q

Which animals lack a head end?

A

20
Q

Coelom

A
  • A fluid-filled body cavity that is surrounded by mesoderm

- Provides a space for elaborate organ systems

21
Q

Acoelomates

A
  • Don’t have a coelom

- Flatworms and other primitive animals

22
Q

Pseudocoelomates

A
  • Have a fluid-filled tube between the endoderm and the mesoderm
  • not completely lined by mesoderm
  • Nematodes or roundworms
23
Q

Coelomates

A
  • Animals with a coelom
  • The most complex in the kingdom
  • Annelida, Mollusca, Arthropoda, Chordata

Annelida, Mollusca, Arthropoda, Chordata

39
What kind of organisms came first?
Heterotrophs
40
Porifera
- Sponges - No symmetry - No nerve or muscle tissue - Sessile - Filter nutrients from water drawn into a central cavity - 2 cell layers(ecoderm and endoderm; mesoglea) - Specialized cells but no true tissues or organs - evolved from colonial organisms - Reproduce by fragmentation or as hermaphrodites
41
Ectotherm
-heated from outside
42
endotherm
- homeotherm | - birds and mammals
43
Ammonia
- Very soluble in water and highly toxic | - Excreted by water organisms(hydra, fish)
44
Urea
- Not as toxic as ammonia - Excreted by earthworms and humans - In mammals, formed in the liver from ammonia
45
Uric Acid
- Pastelike, not soluble in water; not very toxic | - excreted by insects, reptiles, birds - minimum water loss
