Phylum Cnidaria |
Cnidarians are soft bodied carnivores with radial symmetry, stinging tentacles, and only one opening (mouth / anus) |
|
Cnidarians have |
Cnidocytes (stinging cells) with nematocysts (harpoon like poison filled structure) |
|
Three Cnidarian layers |
Ectoderm (outer layer) Mesoglea (jelly like with neural network) Gastroderm (where digestion takes place in gastrovascular cavity) |
|
Two Cnidarian life stages: |
Polyp: sessile with tentacles up Medusa: motile with tentacles down |
|
Feeding Cnidarian |
Catches prey with tentacles and pulls into the gastrovascular cavity Digestion takes place and nutrients are absorbed through the gastroderm Waste materials are released back out the mouth |
|
Cnidarian Respiration, circulation, and excretion |
All occurs through diffusion through body wall |
|
Cnidarian Response |
Loose association of nerves create a neural network in mesoglea Statocysts enable the cnidarian to detect gravity Ocelli are light detecting organs |
|
Cnidarian Movement |
Circular and longitudinal muscles enable movement |
|
Cnidarian Reproduction
|
Asexually. Polyps can bud off new organisms. Sexually. Separate medusa sexes release eggs and sperm into water (external fertilization) The fertilized egg then grows into a free swimming larvae. Larvae eventually settle and form a polyp stage. The polyp then buds off new medusa. |
|
3 classes of Cnidaria |
Scyphozoa Jellyfish (medusa major life stage) Hydrozoa Branching polyp colonies Anthozoa Contains anemones and corals (polyp major life stage) |
|
Phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms) |
Flatworms are soft bodied , flattened worms that are acoelomate and have bilateral symmetry with cephalization Flatworms can be free living or parasitic |
|
Phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms) feeding |
Free living flatworms Carnivore scavengers that suck up material through a pharynx into a gastrovascular cavity. Food is digested and distributed by the cavity. Waste is released back out into the pharynx. |
|
Phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms) parasitic |
Do not have a complex digestive system, rather, they just absorb nutrients through the body by diffusion |
|
Phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms) Respiration, Circulation & Excretion |
Bodies are thin and flat so they rely on diffusion of materials through the body wall Some free living flatworms have flame cells that act to filter metabolic waste and remove it. |
|
Phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms) Response |
Cephalized with an aggregation of neurons (ganglia) and sense organs Two nerve cords run down the body May have eyespots to detect light Parasitic flatworms have a much simpler nervous system |
|
Phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms) Movement |
Free living flatworms have cilia that allow them to glide through the water and wiggle their muscles |
|
Phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms) Reproduction |
Asexual: Fragmentation (fission) by splitting into 2 pieces Sexual: Most are hermaphrodites (male and female) Parasitic: Complex life cycles with more than 1 host |
|
Three Classes of Flatworms |
Turbellaria: Free living marine or fresh water Trematoda (Flukes): Parasites that infect the internal organs of the host Cestoda: Parasitic tapeworms. Infect the digestive system of the host. |
|
Phylum Nematode (roundworms) |
Slender unsegmented worms that have a pseudocoelom |
|
Phylum Nematode (roundworms) feeding |
Nematodes are the first organisms to have a digestive system with a mouth and an anus!! Most nematodes are free living (carnivores or decomposers) Some are internal parasites |
|
Phylum Nematode (roundworms) Respiration, Circulation, Excretion |
Due to their small size they rely on diffusion of gasses and wastes through their body wall |
|
Phylum Nematode (roundworms) Response |

|
Phylum Nematode (roundworms) Movement |
Longitudinal muscles as well as a pseudocoelom filled with fluid acts as a hydrostatic skeleton Contraction of the muscles allows movement |
|
Phylum Nematode (roundworms) Reproduction |
All Sexual Most have separate sexes Internal Fertilization |
|
There are many species of nematodes that are human parasites. E.g. : |
There are many species of nematodes that are human parasites. E.g. : |

|
Phylum Annelida Feeding |
Can be carnivores, decomposers, or filter feeders Have pharynx that have specialized feeding structures Food moves through the esophagus then a crop (storage) and a gizzard (grinding) Nutrients are absorbed into each segment through the intestine Waste is removed out the anus |
|
Phylum Annelida Circulation |

|
Phylum Mollusca, Respiration |
Aquatic Molluscs have gills inside the mantle cavity Terrestrial Molluscs maintain a moist mantle to exchange gases |
|
Phylum Mollusca, Circulation |
Snails and clams have an open system (blood flows through a few vessels and a heart, but also leaves a vessel and is free to slosh around the body cavity) Octopi have a closed system as it is more efficient |
|
Phylum Mollusca, Excretion |
Nephridia release waste outside body |
|
Phylum Mollusca, Response
|
Clams do not have brain or complex nervous system Snails have a simple brain and senses Octopi have well developed brain and senses |
|

All members of Kingdom Animalia are: |
Eukaryotic Multicellular Heterotrophic Lack cell walls |
|
Kingdom Animalia is the: |
Largest Kingdom: 95 percent of species are invertebrates (lack a backbone) 5 percent of species are vertebrates (have a backbone) |
|
All Animals must: |
Feed: Must ingest food (other organisms) to supply them with molecules for raw materials and energy Perform Respiration Must obtain oxygen as a reactant for aerobic cellular respiration Must get rid of carbon dioxide as a waste product of aerobic cellular respiration Perform Circulation Many large animals require a delivery system for nutrients and wastes Small animals can rely on simple diffusion Perform Excretion Must be able to get rid of metabolic wastes These are usually nitrogenous compounds (urea, ammonia)
Must be able to detect stimuli in the environment and respond in an appropriate manner Movement Most animals move at some point in their life (motile) Some animals do not move at some point of their life (sessile)
Must continue the species by making new members Can be sexual or asexual |
|
Animals, Cell Specialization |
Over time the cells that make up organisms have become more specialized to perform specific functions |
|
Animals, Development |
Development refers to the growth of a single celled zygote into a complete organism The embryo (solid ball of cells) eventually forms a blastula (hollow ball of cells) The blastula eventually gastrulates, forming a tube through the middle There are 2 different types of gastrulation Protostome: size of gastrulation forms the mouth Deuterstome: size of gastrulation forms the anus |
|
Animals, After gastrulation, 3 types of germ tissues are formed: |
Ectoderm: becomes nerves, sense organs, and skin
Endoderm: becomes the digestive tract and the respiratory system |
|
Animals, Body Symmetry |
Early animals have no symmetry The first type of symmetry we see is radial symmetry (infinite lines of symmetry) Pentaradial symmetry has 5 lines of symmetry Bilateral symmetry has only 1 line of symmetry and is the most advanced This gives creatures an anterior (front), posterior (rear), dorsal (back), and ventral (belly) sides Bilateral symmetry also allows cephalization: a concentration of nervous tissues and sense organs at the anterior of the animal |
|
Animals, Body Cavity Formation |
Early animals are solid with no body cavity (acoelom) More advanced animals have a tube (pseudocoelom) The most advanced animals have the inner tube suspended within the outer tube (coelom) |
|
Phylum Porifera (Sponges) |
Sponges are asymmetrical sessile filter feeders with only a few specialized structures They consist of a body wall with pores, a central cavity, and an osculum to allow water out Within the body walls, there are a few specialized cells: Epidermal cells cover the outside of the sponge Pore cells allow water to flow through the body wall Choanocytes are flagellated cells that create the water flow Archaeocytes are amoeba like cells that wander through the sponge and distribute nutrients and make spicules (protein skeleton of the sponge) |
|
Phylum Porifera (Sponges), Characteristics of Life |
Feeding, respiration, circulation, and excretion are all accomplished by the water flow through the body wall and out the osculum Sponges have no nervous system and so there is very little response to the environment (some sponges do produce a toxin) |
|
Phylum Porifera (Sponges), Reproduction |
Sponges can reproduce asexually or sexually Asexually- a new sponge buds off the parent or by releasing gemmules (archaeocytes covered in spicules into the water) Sexually- sperm are released into the water and fertilization occurs in the body wall of the sponge (internal fertilization). The zygote grows into a free swimming larvae that settles in a new location. |
