Term
1. What are the two types of body fluids?

2. Where are they found?

3. What is the percentage of body weight that they make up?
Definition
1. Intracellular; Extracellular

2. Cytoplasm; Blood plasma and Interstitial fluid

3. 36% ; 24% (4% and 20% respectively)
Term
What are some characteristics of life?
Definition
reproduction, contains DNA, has a metabolism, development/growth, movement by responding, Homeostasis, made of cells, complex
Term
What are characteristics of an animal?
Definition
multicellular, heterotrophic, eukaryotic, movement
Term
Describe the following for Protozoans:

1. Cell type
2. Locomotion
3. Nutrition
Definition
1. Unicellular eukaryote
2. a. Pseudopods- semisolid ectoplasm in the rear dissolves and flows forward
b. cilia flagella- paired microtubules slide past one another bending the filament
3. hetero, auto, or both (phago=solid, osmo=liquid)
Term
Describe the following for Protozoans:

1. Reproduction
2. Encysment
Definition
1. a. asexual- budding, binary fission, schizogony
b. sexual-conjugation (genetic variation)
2. hard cover forms and metabolism slows; dormancy occurs until harsh season passes
Term
Describe Phylum Amoebozoa
Definition
ex. Amoeba proteus
-pseudopods
-lobopodia
-heterotrophs (phagocytosis)
-some have tests (parasites like Entamoeba)
Term
Describe Phylum Foraminifera
Definition
-pseudopods
-calcium test
-reticulopodia catch prey on the ocean bottom
*Benthic=bottom of ocean
Term
Describe Phylum Radiolaria
Definition
-silica test
-axopodia or filopodia to catch prey as they float
*Pelagic=in the water
Term
Describe Phylum Viridiplantae
Definition
ex. Volvox- multicellular colony, autotrophic
-algae with flagella
-phytoflagellates
Term
Describe Phylum Euglenozoa
Definition
ex. Euglena- autotroph and heterotroph
ex. Trypanosoma- parasitic, African sleeping sickness
-zooflagellate
Term
Describe Phylum Dinoflagellata
Definition
-two flagella at right angles
-"dino"=whirling
-zooflagellate or zooplankton
*plankton=small passively floating animals, plants, protists
-phytoplankton=plant like
-zooplankton=animal like
Term
Describe Phylum Ciliaphora
Definition
-cilia
-multinuclear: macro=metabolism; micro=reproduction
-trichocysts/toxicysts: defensive thread or toxin for paralyzing prey
ex. Paramecium
-endosymbiants (commensal and parasitic)
-suctorians
Term
Describe Phylum Apicomplexa
Definition
-all endoparisites (malaria)
-apical complex: tip where structures are that allow them to penetrate into organism
ex. Toxoplasma: cats, congenital toxoplasmosis
ex. Plasmodium: malaria
Term
Describe the life cycle of Plasmodium
Definition
-primary host: mosquito (sexual)
-secondary host: victim (asexual)
Term
Describe Phylum Porifera
Definition
-simplest animal
-cell aggregation grade
-sessile predominantly
-filter feeders
-radial or irregular symmetry
-diverse sizes and colors
-mostly marine and benthic
Term
Describe the water flow in a sponge
Definition
1. ostia- small incurrent openings
2. canals
3. spongocoel- central cavity
4. oscula- large opening at top
5. choanocytes-collar cells
Term
Describe Choanocytes
Definition
1. cell body with flagellum
2. water drawn in through collar and exits thru top
3. collar filters food
4. water kept moving thru passages
Term
Describe the different types of canal systems in sponges
Definition
1. Asconoid
-small tubes
-large spongocoel lined with choanocytes
2. Syconoid
-large tubes
-thicker, folded walls for greater surface area
-canals lined with choanocytes
3. Leuconoid (95% of all sponges)
-broader shape
-greater surface area
-canals lead to chamber with choanocytes
Term
Describe the following cells in sponges
1. Pinacocytes
2. Archaeocytes
Definition
1. epidermal cells; protection
2. amoeboid; digest food; differentiate cells that secrete structural material
Term
Describe the skeleton of a sponge
Definition
Function: supports body, prevents collapse of canal system
Features: a. spicules- Calcium carbonate and silica
b. structural proteins- collagen and spongin
*used for classification
Term
Describe the Physiology of a sponge:
1. Feeding
2. Digestion
3. Respiration and Excretion
4. Reproduction
Definition
1. filter feeders (deritus, plankton, bacteria)
2. intracellular
3. diffusion
4. asexual- external budding (fragmentation) and internal budding (gemmulation)
sexual- sperm and egg form zygote; nourished inside sponge and released as motile larva
Term
Describe the significance of sponges
Definition
1. cleaning product
2. eaten occasionally
3. home for fish, crabs
4. crabs decorate shells (camo, defense)
Term
Describe Zooxanthellae
Definition
-endosymbiant of many jellyfish, corals, molluscs
-mutualism
-lives on the inside tissue (hydra)
Term
Describe the difference between Protista and Protozoa
Definition
Protista: kingdom; not prokaryote
Protozoa: used to be a phylum in animal kingdom
Term
Describe the different kinds of pseudopods
Definition
Lobopodia- broad lobe
Axopodia- thin and radiate out
reticulopodia-branch and rejoin (hair-like)
