Flashcards

Parazoa

Multicellular invertebrates with collared flagellated cells, their bodies are not organized into tissues or organs.

Diploblastic

Animals with two cell layers (endoderm and ectoderm), showing tissue-level organization.

Triploblastic

Animals with three cell layers (endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm), showing organ-level organization.

Protozoa

Simple, primitive, animal-like organisms that belong to the Kingdom Protoctista.

Study Notes

Animal Classification

  • Gametes and agametes are formed from specialized cells, forming the central body mass
  • Life cycles alternate between asexual and sexual generations
  • Most are marine organisms
  • Parazoa exhibit multicellular structure with collared flagellated cells
  • Lack organization into tissues or organs; exist at the cellular level

Metazoa

  • Invertebrates with cellular differentiation
  • Two levels of organization within the group:
    • Diploblastic includes animals with two-cell layers (endoderm and ectoderm) at the tissue level
    • Triploblastic includes animals with three cell-layers (endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm) at the organ level
    • Mesoderm is more extensive and contains vital organs/organ systems
  • The Protozoa
    • Simple, primitive organisms
    • Belong to the Eukaryotae superkingdom and Protoctista kingdom
    • Resemble animals
    • Primarily aquatic organisms (watery or moist environments)
    • Found in various locations (sea, freshwater, soil, body fluids)
    • Distributed worldwide (cosmopolitan)
