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)
