Biology Review • You MUST be familiar with the taxonomic hierarchy. • Kingdom • Phylum • Class • Order • Family (always ends in dae) • Genus, species. Together these make up the scientific name. Always in latin, italics
Invertebrate Animals What you need to know
Sponges • Characteristics – simplest animals, no tissues, • Examples – Venus flower basket, bath sponge • Support – spicules – calcium, silica or protein • Movement – sessile (don’t move) • Food Getting – collar cells capture food • Digestion – by vacuoles • Circulation – collar cell flagella move water through, amoeba like cells move food vacuoles around • Respiration – no • Nervous – no • Reproduction – budding and sexual • Importance/Nature – clean/filter huge amounts of water • Importance/Economy – minor, bath sponge formerly very important
Lichen or Moss • Name and hour on the TOP of the petri dish • Place the sample face down. • Do NOT tape closed • Sample goes on the back counter.
Phylum of the Day - Cnidaria • Jellyfish and their relatives • Stinging cells is the major characteristic • Really simple body – only one opening, two layers of tissue – no brain • Two forms – polyp (anemone, coral, hydra) and medusa (jellyfish) • Corals are one of the most important animals on earth.
Jellyfish The largest and the deadliest
Cnidarians • Characteristics – true tissues, 2 tissue layers, tentacles, stinging cells, radial symmetry – two forms, medusa or polyp • Examples – coral, anemone, jellyfish, hydra, Portuguese man-of-war, Lion’s Mane jellyfish, Box jellyfish • Support – water pressure • Movement – muscle cells and a ring of muscle around the bell of the medusa form • Food Getting – stinging cells, tentacles • Digestion – one cavity • Circulation – no system • Respiration – no system • Nervous – a nerve ring in the mesoglea (middle layer) • Reproduction – budding & sexual. Some alternate generations • Importance/Nature – big link in food chain, feed on plankton, corals provide home for most of the ocean’s species • Importance/Economy – coral, anemone • Vocabulary - medusa, polyp, mesoglea
Flatworms • Characteristics – 3 tissue layers, distinct head, many parasitic • Examples – free living (planarians), flukes, tapeworms • Support – still just water pressure • Movement – cilia & simple muscles • Food Getting – pharynx • Digestion – still only one opening parasites absorb food directly • Circulation – some, minor • Respiration – mostly diffusion • Nervous – nerve ladder, ganglia at head end • Reproduction – many are hermaphrodites • Importance/Nature – scavengers and parasites • Importance/Economy – flukes and tapeworms are serious infections
The world's longest parasite is the tapeworm so the next question is 'What is the world's longest tapeworm?' The longest tapeworm ever removed from a human came out of Sally Mae Wallace on September 05, 1991. In all, doctors pulled 37 feet of tapeworm out of Sally Mae Wallace's body through her mouth. If you find all of this disgusting, be glad you're not a whale as tapeworms in whales can grow up to 120 feet long.
Roundworms • Characteristics – 3 tissue layers, simple tube-within-a-tube body plan. all are small, hugely abundant, many are parasites • Examples – nematodes, rotifers, tardigrades • Support – H2O pressure, cuticle • Movement – longitudinal muscles allow for simple undulations • Food Getting – most are scavengers or parasites • Digestion – complete(mouth & anus), pharynx • Circulation – some • Respiration – still diffusion • Nervous – nerve ring • Reproduction – most have separate sexes • Importance/Nature – major decomposer and component of soil • Importance/Economy – parasites including hookworm
Segmented worms • Characteristics – tube-within-a-tube plan. segmented body, much more complex than other worms (segmentation allows for specialization!!!!) • Examples – earthworms, marine worms, leeches • Support – muscles • Movement – both circular and longitudinal muscles control each segment • Food Getting – scavengers • Digestion – complete system including a crop, gizzard, etc. • Circulation – closed system with simple “hearts” • Respiration – some with gills, others use diffusion • Nervous – nerve cord and ganglia • Reproduction – most hermaphroditic • Importance/Nature – earthworms help the soil 3 ways; by recycling nutrients, fertilizing with their wastes and aerating the soil. • Importance/Economy – fish bait, medical leeches
The largest earthworm is 22 feet long. An acre of soil might have over 1,000,000 earthworms.
Molluscs • Characteristics – Soft body, shell producing mantle,radula. 2nd largest group of animals (150,000) • Examples – clam, snail, squid, octopus • Support – shell • Movement – foot or jet propulsion • Food Getting – scav, filter feeders and carnivores • Digestion – complete • Circulation – open system with heart and sinuses • Respiration – gills • Nervous – smartest invertebrates (octopus, not clam or snail) • Reproduction – separate sexes except the snail, usually external fertilization • Importance/Nature – fill many niches • Importance/Economy – major food source
Reminders 1. HOURS (4) due a week from Monday!2. Inverts test and Notebook, next block day!3. See the board for the test answers.4. Zoo & 1 video, or Farmstead and OP Arb.
Echinoderms • Characteristics – water vascular system, spiny skin, radial symmetry, all bottom dwellers. • Examples – sea star, brittle star, sea cucumber, sea urchin • Support – spiny skin • Movement – water vascular system, tube feet • Food Getting – herbivores or carnivores, • Digestion – some can invert stomach, mouth on bottom, anus on top • Circulation – water vascular system • Respiration – water vascular system or gills • Nervous – decentralized, no “brain” • Reproduction – external, also can regenerate • Importance/Nature – scavengers, some carnivores, “Crown of Thorns” eat corals • Importance/Economy – urchins in development. Some are pests
Arthropods • Characteristics – Jointed appendages, segmented body plan • Examples – crustaceans, arachnids, centipedes, millipedes, insects • Support – exoskeleton of chitin, some strengthened with calcium • Movement – jointed legs are incredibly efficient • Food Getting – mouth parts adapted to various diets • Digestion – complete, often with crop, gastric caecae • Circulation – open system with heart and sinuses • Respiration – gills or trachea • Nervous – ventral nerve cord/brain • Reproduction – separate sexes often internal fertilization • Importance/Nature – fill many niches • Importance/Economy – huge impact on crop production, some are food source
