(40 cards)
eukaryotes
- many cells
- nucleus
- complex
- higher metabolism
prokaryotes
single celled
animal
- eukaryote
- no cell walls
- multicellular
- motile during part or all of life
- heterotrophs
genus
starts with capital letters
species
starts with lowercase letter
animal characteristics
- symmetry
- organizational complexity
- types of tissues present
- developmental pattern
- segmentation
increasing complexity means what…?
reflects evolutionary development through animal history/evolution
types of symmetry
- asymmetrical
- radial
- bilateral
cross section
across something, like worm
longitudinal section
top to bottom of something
sagittal section
right down the middle of bilateral animal
Protozoan
- tiny animal-like organisms
- different shapes and structures
- located in water
- eukaryotes
- lack cell wall
- have at least one motile stage in life cycle
- heterotrophic
- holozoic
- not monophyletic
- unicellular
- contain organelles
- photosynthetic
holozoic
ingest their food
saprozoic
absorb it
monophyletic
being in the same phylum
sequence of taxonomy
kingdom phylum class order family genus species
heterotroph
ingest other organisms for food
volvox protists
single cells can carry on life independently, clearly unicellular, clump together
types of asexual reproduction
- binary fission
- multiple fission or schizogany
binary fission
from of mitotic division, nuclei divide
multiple fission
also called schizogany, repeated nuclear divisions followed by simultaneous cytokinesis
types of sexual reproduction
- syngamy
- conjugation
syngamy
fertilization of one haploid gamete by another
conjugation
mutual exchange of genetic information, make nuclei and exchange info
