Chapter 26

Ch 23Intro to Animals;

Sponges & Cnidarians

Animal Characteristics1. Heterotrophic(herbivores, carnivores,

omnivores)

- they depend upon other living things in the environment for food.

2. Multicellular - Different cells have different functions such as digesting food, getting rid of waste, reproduction, etc. (specialization)

3. Are eukaryotic = has a nucleus & membrane- bound organelles

4. No cell walls

- Unlike plants, fungi, & bacteria

Animal Classification

Vertebrates -have a backbone

Invertebrates - don’t have a backbone,…

-They make up 97% of all species

(sponges, Cnidaria, flatworms, round- worms, mollusks, insects)

What Animals Do to Survive- Many body functions help animals

maintain homeostasis

1. Feeding

2. Respiration

3. Circulation

4. Excretion

5. Response

6. Movement

7. Reproduction

1. Feeding

- Animals are heterotrophs, so they have to ingest food & digest the nutrients

2. Respiration

- take in O2 & release CO2

3. Circulation

- Moves materials around w/i their bodies

- Some animals can rely on diffusion to move materials

4. Excretion

- Most waste is ammonia (a poison to animals)

- Is eliminated or converted to something less toxic & removed

5. Response

- Nerve cells allow organisms to respond to their environment; not all org’s have nervous systems

6. Movement

- Most animals move; with the help of muscles & skeleton

- If they cannot move; have adaptations that allow them to meet their needs

7. Reproduction

- Most reproduce sexually

- Some can also reproduce asexually

BODY SYMMETRY1.Asymmetrical – no pattern 2. Radial Symmetry – an axis (circle around a central point)

3. Bilateral – 2 sides which are a left & right side that mirror each other

anterior – front end posterior – rear end dorsal – back or top ventral - belly

*Note: animals in a group have similar characteristics because they have similar evolutionary histories.

Cephalization: concentration of sense organs & nerve cells at the front end of the body

-org’s w/ cephalization react to environment quickly & in complex ways

- the more complex organisms have more complex cephalization (bigger brains)

-Most animals also have a body cavity: a fluid-filled space that lies between the digestive tract & the body wall

-- provides a place for internal organs

QUIZ WEDNESDAY!

SPONGES!!

PHYLUM PORIFERA“Pores”

•Least complex animals•Simple body plans•No body tissues, organs, or

systems

Characteristics

• Most are asymmetrical (a few radial)

• Adult sponges are

sessile = don’t move

• Often found in colonies

•Live in water (mostly salt water)•Many shapes, sizes, colors

Obtaining Food• Food is filtered out of the water = filter

feeding

• Choanocytes (collar cells) pull the water thru the ostia (pores)

• have flagella that help move water thru bringing in O2 & carrying away wastes (leaves via osculum (hole at top)

Choanocyte(Collar cells)

The movement of water thru the sponge provides a simple mechanism for feeding, respiration, circulation, and excretion.

ostia

Sponge Bodies•May contain a “skeleton” of: 1. Spicules – sharp & pointed,

often made of silicon or calcium 2. Spongin – fibrous material 3. Both spicules & spongin

Reproduction

• Sponges can reproduce

asexually and sexually

1) Asexual

–producing buds

–regeneration (growth) of missing parts

I’m a chip offthe old block!

2) Sexually • joining of egg and sperm

• Most are hermaphrodites can produce both eggs and sperm

Sexual Reproduction

• Ex: coral (live in colonies), sea Ex: coral (live in colonies), sea anemone, jellyfish, hydra anemone, jellyfish, hydra (freshwater(freshwater, , live in colonies)live in colonies)

CnidariansCnidarians(Stinging celled animals)(Stinging celled animals)

Phylum: CnidariaCnidaria

JELLYFISH

Jellyfish

Characteristics•Live individually except coral & hydra•Coral live as a colony of polyps

covered by calcium carbonate (polyps join together to form a coral reef)

•Live in salt water except hydra

•Radially symmetrical

•Have 2 cell layers, tissues, & a digestive cavity

•Arm-like tentacles surround mouth (tentacles contain stinging cells used to capture food & to protect)

•Stinging cells (cnidocytes) contain a capsule which explodes & shoots out a thread w/poison (nematocysts)

- prey is paralyzed by the poison & the tentacles pull it back to the body into the mouth

2 Body Plans• Polyp – vase-

like• Sessile• Hydra, sea

anemone

• Medusa – bell shaped

• Free swimming• Jellyfish

•Asexually by buds which fall off parent

•Sexually w/egg & sperm

• Have both sexual & asexual stages to complete the cycle

• Sexually for free-swimming

• Fertilized eggs become the larva

• Larva settle & form polyp

• Asexually when young medusa bud & break off

Reproduction Medusa

Polyps

- have a nerve net that connects all parts of organism.

- Allows for simple responses & movement.

•Found in warm tropical seas between 30o north & 30o south latitude

•Many sea anemones attach to dead coral

•Reef is composed of a base of dead coral cemented together & living coral at surface

•Help protect beaches & shorelines/used for recreation (diving, snorkeling)
