animals store their carbohydrates in the form of
glycogen
life cycle dominated by the
diploid stage
invertebrates
animals that do not have a backbone)
vertebrates
animals that do have a backbone).
main structural support is
collagen found only in animals
feature that is unique ti animals
most animals have a blastula
that undergoes gastrulation as a stage in their development
bilateral animals have
-A top (dorsal) side
– A bottom (ventral) side
– A front (anterior) end
– A back (posterior) end
A small cluster of dividing cells with no increase in embryo size: ______
zygote
A single, large, round cell formed immediately after fertilization: ______
cleavage
A cluster of exactly 8 equal-sized cells: ______
eight stage cell
a hollow ball of cells
blastula
The fluid-filled cavity inside the hollow ball: __
Blastocoel
The process where cells move inward to form layers: ______
gastrulation
The structure that looks like a cup-shaped embryo: ______
gastrula
The structure that looks like a cup-shaped embryo: ______
blastopore
fertilization
The union of sperm and egg to form a zygote, beginning the development.
cleavage
Rapid cell division of the zygote into many smaller cells without increasing its overall size.
gastrulation
The reorganization of cells into three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm, which give rise to different tissues and organs.
organogenesis
The formation of organs from the germ layers, leading to the development of the animal’s body structure.
Which animal phylum is characterized by a lack of true tissues and is asymmetrical?
poriferia
radial symmetry
Body parts arranged around a central axis, like a wheel
Sea anemones, starfish
bilateral symmetry
Body can be divided into mirror-image halves along one plane
Humans, insects, fish
cnidaria
radial symmetry , diploblastic
porifera
multicellular, no true tissues
