    Study Notes

    Plant Hormones

    • Gibberellins (GAs) stimulate shoot elongation, seed germination, and fruit/flower maturation
    • Auxins control meristem differentiation and are responsible for cell elongation in phototropism and gravitropism

    Mycorrhizae

    • Symbiotic fungi associated with plant roots
    • Fungi are integrated into the root's physical structure
    • Plants obtain essential elements from the soil
    • Fungus obtains nutrients from plants

    Epiphytes

    • Plants that grow on other plants
    • Not dependent on a host plant for nutrition
    • Two types of roots: clinging aerial and aerial
    • Clinging aerial roots absorb nutrients from humus accumulated in trees
    • Aerial roots absorb moisture from the atmosphere

    Saprophytes

    • Lack chlorophyll
    • Obtain food from dead organic matter
    • Enzymes break down organic food materials into simpler forms
    • Many parasitize fungi that digest dead matter or are mycorrhizal

    Choanoflagellates

    • Sessile protists, some colonial

    Sponges

    • Multicellular, sessile animals

    • Major animal characteristics: multicellular, heterotrophs, and move at some point in their lives

    Body Plans

    • Asymmetry: Sponges
    • Radial symmetry: Body parts arranged around a central axis, allowing organisms to experience the environment equally in all directions (e.g., Cnidarians)
    • Bilateral symmetry: Body parts arranged along a single plane (e.g., most animals)

    Body Cavities

    • Coelom: A fluid-filled body cavity surrounded by mesoderm; found in some animals
    • Diploblasts lack a coelom; coelom is enclosed, fluid filled body cavity in some animals

    Blastula & Gastrula

    • Blastula: Rapidly dividing cells that transition to gastrula, which develops specialized cells.
    • Gastrula comprises of three primary germ layers: ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm.

    Hydrostatic Skeletons

    • Allow limbless animals to move via coordinated muscle contractions

    Tube-within-a-tube body plan

    • Protostomes or deuterostomes
    • Outer tube forms body wall and inner tube forms digestive tract
    • Digestive system formed from endoderm
    • Body wall formed from ectoderm
    • Muscles and organs formed by mesoderm

    Protostomes and Deuterostomes

    • Protostomes: Mouth develops first
    • Deuterostomes: Anus develops first

    Epithelial Tissues (Summary)

    • Squamous: Flattened, overlapping cells (e.g., skin, mouth)
    • Columnar: Long and wide cells (e.g., nose, trachea)
    • Transitional: Elongated, compacted cells (e.g., urinary bladder)

    Animal Body Plan Features

    • Number of embryonic tissue layers
      • Diploblasts: 2 tissue layers (endoderm and ectoderm).
      • Triploblasts: 3 tissue layers (endoderm, ectoderm, mesoderm).
    • Presence/absence of fluid-filled body cavity (coelom)
    • Nervous system, body symmetry, and cephalization (development of a head region)
    • Earliest events of embryonic development

    Triploblasts

    • Animals with three tissue layers

    Animal Development Gastrulation

    • Process that develops blastopore (hollow) from zygote (fertilized egg).
    • Germ layers form during this process (ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm)
    • These layers develop into organ systems (tissues, organs, etc).

    Mouth Development (Summary)

    • Two major groups
    • Protostomes
      • Mesoderm separates to form body cavity in schizocoely process
    • Deuterostomes
      • Mesoderm pinches off (enterocoely process) body cavity

    Animal Phylogeny

    • Specialized tissue
    • Symmetry
    • Coelom
    • Protostome vs. deuterostome

    Animal Phylogeny: Defining Features of Groups

    • Porifera: Sponges, mostly marine, no true tissues. Suspension feeders, filtering water through their porous bodies. Reproduction: (asexual budding, sexual – eggs + sperm).
    • Cnidaria: Jellyfish, corals, anemones. Primarily marine. Diploblastic. Radial symmetry. 2 body forms (polyp and medusa). Stinging cells (nematocysts) for predation
    • Lophotrochozoa: Bilateral symmetry. Coelom present in some. Not all undergo a larval stage. Flatworms, annelids, and mollusks.
    • Platyhelminthes: (Flatworms) – dorsoventrally flattened bodies. Most are free-living, some are parasitic. No coelom, but have a simple digestive system.
    • Annelida: (Segmented worms) – Bodies subdivided into repeating segments. True coelom, complex digestive and circulatory systems.
    • Mollusca: Snails, clams, octopuses. Soft-bodied animals, often with a hard shell (calcium carbonate). Well-developed muscular foot, visceral mass, mantle.
    • Ecdysozoa: Grow by shedding their external covering. Bilateral symmetry. Segmented bodies and jointed legs. Protostomes. Nematodes (roundworms), and arthropods.
    • Nematoda: (Roundworms) – Unsegmented, tubular bodies with a pseudocoelom. Most are free-living, some are parasitic.
    • Arthropoda: Insects, crustaceans, arachnids. Segmented bodies, exoskeleton made of chitin, jointed appendages, well-developed sensory organs. Bilateral symmetry. Complex digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems.
    • Echinodermata: Starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers. Primarily marine. Bilateral symmetry as larvae, radial symmetry as adults. Water vascular system for movement and feeding. Endoskeleton. Unique deuterostome lineage.
