Bring your textbook and lecture notes to lab! 10 points extra credit available until 5/20 (day of final exam) for going to writing center or meeting with a counselor. Laney Idol, Jeopardy! and Potluck on 5/13
4
What is an animal? An animal is a eukaryotic, multicellular, heterotrophic organism lacking cell walls that feeds by eating other organisms.
5
Clicker Question What distinguishes animals from plants? A.Animals are eukaryotic, while plants are prokaryotic B.Plants can be either single-celled or multicellular, while animals are always multicellular C.Animals are heterotrophs while plants are autotrophs D.Animals have cell walls, while plants do not
6
Clicker Question What distinguishes animals from seaweeds? A.Seaweeds are single-celled while animals are multicellular B.Seaweeds are prokaryotic while animals are eukaryotic C.Seaweeds are absorptive heterotrophs, while animals are heterotrophs that eat other organisms D.Seaweeds make their own food, while animals must find their own food.
7
Clicker Question What distinguishes animals from fungi? A.Animals have no fun while fungi are always fun guys B.Fungi have cell walls while animals do not C.Animals are heterotrophs while fungi are not D.Fungi are eukaryotic while animals are prokaryotic
9
Phylum Tardigrada
10
The origin of animals Oldest fossils are 550-575 million years old Common ancestor of all animals was likely a colonial protist Grandpa
11
The Cambrian Explosion 535-525 mya
12
Animal Phylogeny
13
Sponges (9,000 species)
15
Cnidarians (10,000 species) The first appearance of body tissues among animals Includes corals, sea anemones, and jellyfish Cnidarians have radial symmetry and stinging tentacles, which capture prey. Incomplete digestive tract, or gut (mouth is the same as the anus
17
Two Body Types
18
Coral Reefs
19
Color from symbiosis between coral and zooxanthellae
20
Clicker Question True/False: Zooxanthellae belong to which group of organisms? A.Archaea B.Protists C.Fungi D.Plants E.Bacteria
21
Thought Question How might global warming impact coral reefs? Hints: Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6 H2O >> 6O2 + Glucose Too much oxygen is bad for corals
22
Coral Bleaching
24
Molluscs (93,000 species) Includes snails, slugs, octopuses, squid, oysters and clams Most live in the ocean and have shells Development of a body cavity with a coelom, and a complete digestive tract (the mouth is a separate opening from the anus). Basic body plan has three parts: a foot, a visceral mass, and a mantle.

26
Garden Snail Mouth
28
Three groups of molluscs Gastropods
29
Three groups of molluscs Bivalves (two shells hinged together), including mussels, clams, scallops, oyster
30
Three groups of molluscs Cephalopods (octopuses, squid)
32
Flatworms (20,000 species) Ribbonlike worms that lack a true body cavity and have incomplete digestive tract (mouth is same as anus) They range from 1 mm-20 m (65 feet) in length Many are parasitic and cause human diseases They live in marine, freshwater, and damp terrestrial habitats
33
Tapeworm (gross, I know)
35
Annelids (16,000 species) Worms with segmented bodies that live in marine, freshwater, and soil habitats They have a complete digestive tract and a body cavity with a coelom There are 3 main groups: earthworms, polychaetes, and leeches
36
Earthworms
37
Giant Earthworm
38
Polychaetes
39
Leeches
40
Osedax, a type of polychaete bone worm (an annelid) that lives on the sunken bones of whale carcasses.
41
Discussion Questions 1.How are these bone worms sexually dimorphic? Where did we see the term sexual dimorphism before? 2.How is the feeding strategy of bone worms different from most annelids? What phylum is it most similar to?
43
Roundworms/Nematodes (25,000 species) Live in soil, freshwater, and as parasites in the tissue of plants and animals Extremely abundant—90,000 nematodes were found in a single rotting apple.
44
Roundworm Diversity Parasitic roundworms cause trichonosis
46
Arthropods (over 1 million species) Diverse AND abundant (150 million arthropod specimens for every human on Earth) They have an exoskeleton, jointed appendages, and specialized body segments Four main groups: arachnids, crustaceans, millipedes/centipedes, and insects
47
Arachnids Includes spiders, ticks, scorpions, and mites. Arachnids have 8 legs.
48
Crustaceans
49
Millipedes/Centipedes
50
Insects The most diverse group of organisms on Earth Body has 3 segments: head, thorax, and abdomen Insects have 6 legs in 3 pairs Several recently evolved insect groups go through metamorphosis
51
Insect Body Plan
52
Metamorphosis
53
Thought Question Why are insects so diverse? Hint: What do you need to get new species to form?
54
Thought Question Why are insects so diverse? -They have short generation times -They co-evolved with angiosperms -Flight was a key innovation that allowed them to explore more niches -They are generally small
55
Clicker Question Which of these insects do you like best? A.Beetles B.Butterflies/Moths C.Flies D.True Bugs E.Bees/wasps
57
Echinoderms (7,000 species) Marine invertebrates with spiny surfaces and an endoskeleton They have a water vascular system, kind of like a plant, that circulates water for gas exchange and waste removal. Tube feet allow for movement and feeding Includes starfish, sea urchins, sand dollars, and sea cucumbers
