Chapter 33 bio
catelunida
"chain worms," are mostly free-living and reproduce asexually by budding (small clade; about 100 species)
Tapeworms
- Parasites of vertebrates - Absorb nutrients directly from the host's intestine (have no mouth or gastrovascular cavity) - The scolex contains suckers and hooks for attaching to the host - Proglottids are units that contain sex organs and form a ribbon behind the scolex - Fertilized eggs, produced by sexual reproduction, leave the host's body in feces
Trematodes
- Parasitize a wide range of hosts - Most have complex life cycles with alternating sexual and asexual stages - Trematodes that parasitize humans spend part of their lives in snail hosts - Can survive in humans for 40+ years - Produce surface proteins that mimics the host's - Manipulate the host's immune system to tolerate its presence - Eg. Schistosoma mansoni (blood fluke)
open circulatory system
A circulatory system in which fluid called hemolymph bathes the tissues and organs directly and there is no distinction between the circulating fluid and the interstitial fluid
alimentary cannal
A complete digestive tract, consisting of a tube running between a mouth and an anus. - property of rotifiers
choanocyte
A flagellated feeding cell found in sponges. Also called a collar cell, it has a collar-like ring that traps food particles around the base of its flagellum.
parthenogenesis
A form of asexual reproduction in which females produce offspring from unfertilized eggs
planarians
A free-living flatworm found in ponds and streams. Can reproduce: - asexually - sexually - hermaphrodites
mesohyl
A gelatinous region between the two layers of cells of a sponge.
exoskeleton
A hard encasement on the surface of an animal, such as the shell of a mollusc or the cuticle of an arthropod, that provides protection and points of attachment for muscles.
osculum
A large opening in a sponge that connects the spongocoel to the environment.
eumetazoan
A member of a clade of animals with true tissues. All animals except sponges and a few other groups are eumetazoans
arachnid
A member of a subgroup of the major arthropod clade Chelicerata. Arachnids have six pairs of appendages, including four pairs of walking legs, and include spiders, scorpions, ticks, and mites. Gas exchange in spiders occurs in respiratory organs called book lungs Many spiders produce silk, a liquid protein, from specialized abdominal glands
water vascular system
A network of hydraulic canals unique to echinoderms that branches into extensions called tube feet, which function in locomotion and feeding. - unique to echinoderms
Phylum Nematoda (roundworms) trichinella spiralis
A parasite that can be acquired by humans from undercooked pork (trichinosis)
Ectoprocts
A sessile, colonial lophophorate; also called a bryozoan are sessile colonial animals that superficially resemble clumps of moss Are among the most widespread marine sessile animals; also in freshwater A hard exoskeleton encases the colony, and some species are reef builders
echinoderm
A slow-moving or sessile marine deuterostome with a water vascular system and, in larvae, bilateral symmetry. Echinoderms include sea stars, brittle stars, sea urchins, feather stars, and sea cucumbers.
radula
A straplike scraping organ used by many molluscs during feeding.
Clade Myriapoda (myriapods - millipedes and centipedes)
A terrestrial arthropod with many body segments and one or two pairs of legs per segment. Millipedes and centipedes are the two major groups of living myriapods Have a pair of antennae and three pairs of appendages modified as mouthparts
incomplete metamorphosis
A type of development in certain insects, such as grasshoppers, in which the young (called nymphs) resemble adults but are smaller and have different body proportions. The nymph goes through a series of molts, each time looking more like an adult, until it reaches full size. Many insects undergo metamorphosis during their development After the final molt, the wings develop and the insect becomes sexually mature
mantle cavity
A water-filled chamber that houses the gills, anus, and excretory pores of a mollusc.
five clades of echinoderms
A) Asteroidea (sea stars and sea daisies) B) Ophiuroidea (brittle stars) C) Echinoidea (sea urchins and sand dollars) D) Crinoidea (sea lilies and feather stars) E) Holothuroidea (sea cucumbers)
Class Gastropoda - snails and slugs
About 75% of all living molluscs Most are marine, but there are many freshwater and terrestrial species Gastropods move slowly by a rippling motion of the foot or by cilia Most have a single, spiraled shell that functions in protection from injury, dehydration, and predation Most are herbivores, but some species use modified radula to feed on prey
Three main parts of mollucs
All have a similar body plan with three main parts: Muscular foot Visceral mass Mantle

Phylum Chordata (lancelets, tunicates, and vertebrates)
Consists of two basal groups of invertebrates as well as vertebrates Bilaterally symmetrical coelomates with segmented bodies Chordates did not evolve from echinoderms, but have evolved separately from them for at least 500 million years
Anthozoans
Corals and sea anemones Occur only as polyps Corals often form symbioses with algae (zooxanthallae) and secrete a hard exoskeleton (external skeleton) Each generation grows on the skeletal remains of the previous generation, forming "rocks" that provide habitat for other species
crustacean
Crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, shrimps, barnacles, and others) live in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments Many crustaceans have highly specialized appendages Small crustaceans exchange gases through the cuticle; larger crustaceans have gills Most crustaceans have separate males and females
Three major clades of bilaterian animals
Deuterostomia, Lophotrozoa, and Ecdysozoa
trochophore larval stage

earthworms (sedentaria)
Eat through soil, extracting nutrients as the soil moves through the alimentary canal Hermaphrodites but cross-fertilize Some reproduce asexually by fragmentation
Phylum nematoda
Found in most aquatic habitats, in the soil, in moist tissues of plants, and in body fluids and tissues of animals Have an alimentary canal, but lack a circulatory system Body wall muscles are all longitudinal, and their contraction produces a thrashing motion
Phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms)
Free-living species live in marine, freshwater, and damp terrestrial habitats Many flatworms are parasites (e.g. flukes and tapeworms) Unlike most triploblastic animals, flatworms are acoelomates (lack a body cavity) Excretory apparatus: protonephridia - networks of ciliated tubules that pull fluid through ducts opening to the outside Dorsoventrally flattened body shape - all cells are close to water in the surrounding environment or in their gut (maximized surface area)
Class Cephalopoda - squids, octopuses, cuttlefish, and chambered nautiluses
Have a closed circulatory system, well-developed sense organs, and a complex brain Ammonites were common but went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous (65.5 mybp) Most squids are less than 75 cm long, but some species can grow from 10 to 14 m long
clade Ophiuroidea (brittle stars)
Have a distinct central disk and long, flexible arms that they use for movement Some species are suspension feeders, while others are predators or scavengers

Rotifiers
Inhabit freshwater, marine, and damp soil habitats Smaller than many protists but are truly multicellular and have specialized organ systems Have an alimentary canal, a digestive tube with a separate mouth and anus that lies within a fluid-filled pseudocoelom Rotifers reproduce by parthenogenesis (females produce offspring from unfertilized eggs) or sexually Some species are all-female species
facts about insects
Insects diversified rapidly following the evolution of flight 359-252 million years ago (Carboniferous and Permian periods) An animal that can fly can escape predators, find food, and disperse to new habitats much faster than organisms that can only crawl Insects evolved flight without sacrificing a pair of walking legs because wings are an extension of the cuticle Periods of rapid insect diversification followed radiations of the plants on which they fed The diversity of insect mouthparts in the fossil record indicates that specialized modes of feeding evolved in response to gymnosperm (non-flowering plants) diversification A later insect radiation appears to have been stimulated by the expansion of flowering plants about 100 million years ago Insect and plant diversity declined during the Cretaceous mass extinction, but has been increasing in the 66 million years since
Phylum Arthropoda (arthropods)
It is estimated that there are about a billion billion (1018) arthropods living on Earth More than 1 million species have been described, and two out of every three known species of animals are arthropods Found in nearly all habitats of the biosphere A segmented ecdysozoan with a hard exoskeleton and jointed appendages. Familiar examples include insects, spiders, millipedes, and crabs.

reproduction in insects
Most insects have separate males and females and reproduce sexually Individuals find and recognize members of their own species by bright colors, sound, or odors Fertilization is generally internal In some species copulation occurs; in others, the male deposits a sperm packet that the female picks up Eggs are generally laid on a food source
leeches (sedentaria)
Most species live in freshwater; some are marine or terrestrial Include predators of invertebrates and parasites that suck blood Some parasitic leeches slit the skin of their host and secrete an anesthetic to prevent detection Secrete another chemical (hirudin, an anticoagulant)

clade asteroidea
Sea stars (aka star fish) have multiple arms radiating from a central disk The undersurface of each arm bears tube feet, which grip a substrate with adhesive chemicals Sea stars feed on bivalves by prying them open with their tube feet, everting their stomach, and digesting their prey externally with digestive enzymes Sea stars can regrow lost arms Sea daisies are a group of armless species; only three species are known Sea daisies live on submerged wood and absorb nutrients through a membrane that surrounds their body
Phylum Echinodermata (echinoderms - sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, etc)

Phylum Arthropoda (arthropods) General characteristics
The appendages of some living arthropods are modified for functions such as walking, feeding, sensory reception, reproduction, and defense These modified appendages are jointed and come in pairs Body is completely covered by the cuticle, an exoskeleton made of layers of protein and the polysaccharide chitin When an arthropod grows, it molts its exoskeleton Evolution of the exoskeleton in early arthropods enabled them to be among the first animals to colonize land Its relative impermeability to water helped prevent desiccation Its strength provided support without reliance on the buoyancy of water Arthropods have eyes, olfactory receptors, and antennae that function in touch and smell Arthropods have an open circulatory system in which hemolymph is circulated into the spaces surrounding the tissues and organs A variety of organs specialized for gas exchange have evolved in arthropods
