Study Notes
Animal Diversity
- Animals are eukaryotic, multicellular organisms, and most have specialized tissues.
- They are motile and require a food source (heterotrophic).
- Almost all reproduce sexually, unlike plants or fungi. Development is typically characterized by a fixed body plan, unlike some plants.
Animal Reproduction and Development
- Most animals reproduce sexually, with male and female gametes combining through fertilization.
- Fertilization can be internal or external.
- Development involves specific stages and results in a specific body plan.
- Some animals exhibit asexual reproduction, including budding, fragmentation, and parthenogenesis.
Animal Classification
- Animal classification systems are based on anatomy, embryonic development, and genetic makeup.
- Animal classification schemes reflect evolutionary lineages and highlight common and diverse traits.
- Animals are diverse and classification systems are constantly being revised as new information is discovered.
- Classifications are typically based on body symmetry (asymmetrical, radial, bilateral), the presence and characteristics of a true body cavity, the number of tissue layers during development and other development characteristics..
Sponges (Porifera)
- Simplest animals with no tissues, just diverse specialized cells.
- Mostly marine, with body structure dedicated to filtering water for food and waste removal.
- Asexual and sexual reproduction methods are common.
Cnidarians (Cnidaria)
- Exhibit radial or biradial symmetry.
- Have specialized stinging cells (cnidocytes) for capturing prey.
- Life cycle frequently alternates between polyp (sessile, stalk-like) and medusa (free-swimming, bell-like) forms.
- Include corals, jellyfish, and sea anemones.
- Extracellular and intracellular digestion.
Flatworms, Nematodes, and Arthropods
- Flatworms (Platyhelminthes): Acoelomate; primarily parasitic or free-living; incomplete digestive systems.
- Nematodes (Nematoda): Pseudocoelomate; many are free-living or parasitic. Complete digestive system; exoskeleton.
- Arthropods (Arthropoda): Coelomate. jointed appendages and an exoskeleton. Many types of respiratory systems, varied life styles.
