Biology 2nd period McFall Chapter 25 What is an animal? 25.1: Typical Animal Characteristics 25.2: Body Plans and Adaptations Section Objectives: • Identify the characteristics of animals. • Identify cell differentiation in the development of a typical animal. • Sequence the development of a typical animal. Characteristics of Animals • Animals are eukaryotic, multicellular organisms with ways of moving that help them reproduce, obtain food, and protect themselves. Characteristics of Animals • Most animals have specialized cells that form tissues and organs—such as nerves and muscles. • Animals are composed of cells that do not have cell walls. Animals obtain food • One characteristic common to all animals is that they are heterotrophic, meaning they must consume food to obtain energy and nutrients. • All animals depend either directly or indirectly on autotrophs for food. Animals obtain food • Scientists hypothesize that animals first evolved in water. • In water, some animals, such as barnacles and oysters, do not move from place to place and have adaptations that allow them to capture food from their water environment. Animals obtain food • Organisms that are permanently attached to a surface are called sessile. Animals obtain food • Some aquatic animals, such as corals and sponges move about only during the early stages of their lives. • Most adults are sessile and attach themselves to rocks or other objects. Animals obtain food • There is little suspended food in the air. • Land animals use more oxygen and expend more energy to find food. Animals digest food • In some animals, digestion is carried out within individual cells; in other animals, digestion takes place in an internal cavity. • Some of the food that an animal consumes and digests is stored as fat or glycogen, a polysaccharide, and used when other food is not available. Animals digest food • In animals such as planarians and earthworms, food is digested in a digestive tract. Mouth Digestive tract Digestive tract Extended pharynx Anus Animal cell adaptations • Most animal cells are differentiated and carry out different functions. • Animals have specialized cells that enable them to sense and seek out food and mates, and allow them to identify and protect themselves from predators. Development of Animals • Most animals develop from a fertilized egg cell called a zygote. • After fertilization, the zygote of different animal species all have similar, genetically determined stages of development. Fertilization • Most animals reproduce sexually. • Male animals produce sperm cells and female animals produce egg cells. • Fertilization occurs when a sperm cell penetrates the egg cell, forming a new cell called a zygote. • In animals, fertilization may be internal or external. Cell division • The zygote divides by mitosis and cell division to form two cells in a process called cleavage. cleavage Cell division • Once cell division has begun, the organism is known as an embryo. Cell division • The two cells that result from cleavage then divide to form four cells and so on, until a cell-covered, fluid-filled ball called a blastula is formed. • The blastula is formed early in the development of an animal embryo. Gastrulation • After blastula formation, cell division continues. • The cells on one side of the blastula then move inward to form a gastrula—a structure made up of two layers of cells with an opening at one end. Gastrulation • The cells at one end of the blastula move inward, forming a cavity lined with a second layer of cells. • The layer of cells on the outer surface of the gastrula is called the ectoderm. • The layer of cells lining the inner surface is called the endoderm. Gastrulation • The ectoderm cells of the gastrula continue to grow and divide, and eventually they develop into the skin and nervous tissue of the animal. Ectoderm Gastrulation • The endoderm cells develop into the lining of the animal’s digestive tract and into organs associated with digestion. Endoderm Formation of mesoderm • Mesoderm is found in the middle of the embryo; the term meso means “middle.” • The mesoderm is the third cell layer found in the developing embryo between the ectoderm and the endoderm. Mesoderm Formation of mesoderm • The mesoderm cells develop into the muscles, circulatory system, excretory system, and, in some animals, the respiratory system. Formation of mesoderm • When the opening in the gastrula develops into the mouth, the animal is called a protostome. • Snails, earthworms, and insects are examples of protostomes. Formation of mesoderm • In other animals, such as sea stars, fishes, toads, snakes, birds, and humans, the mouth does not develop from the gastrula’s opening. Formation of mesoderm • An animal whose mouth developed not from the opening, but from cells elsewhere on the gastrula is called a deuterostome. Formation of mesoderm • Scientists hypothesize that protostome animals were the first to appear in evolutionary history, and that deuterostomes followed at a later time. • Determining whether an animal is a protostome or deuterostome can help biologists identify its group. Cell differentiation in Animal Development • The fertilized eggs of most animals follow a similar pattern of development. From one fertilized egg cell, many divisions occur until a fluid-filled ball of cells forms. • The ball folds inward and continues to develop. Sperm cells Cell Differentiation in Animal Development Fertilization Egg cell Formation of mesoderm Endoderm First cell division Mesoderm Ectoderm Gastrulation Additional cell divisions Formation of a blastula Growth and development • Most animal embryos continue to develop over time, becoming juveniles that look like smaller versions of the adult animal. • In some animals, such as insects and echinoderms, the embryo develops inside an egg into an intermediate stage called a larva (plural larvae). Growth and development Growth and development • A larva often bears little resemblance to the adult animal. • Inside the egg, the larva is surrounded by a membrane formed right after fertilization. • When the egg hatches, the larva breaks through this fertilization membrane. Adult animals • Once the juvenile or larval stage has passed, most animals continue to grow and develop into adults. • This growth and development may take just a few days in some insects, or up to fourteen years in some mammals. • Eventually the adult animals reach sexual maturity, mate, and the cycle begins again. Section Objectives: • Compare and contrast radial and bilateral symmetry with asymmetry. • Trace the phylogeny of animal body plans. • Distinguish among the body plans of acoelomate, pseudocoelomate, and coelomate animals. What is symmetry • Symmetry is a term that describes the arrangement of body structures. • Different kinds of symmetry enable animals to move about in different ways. Asymmetry • An animal that is irregular in shape has no symmetry or an asymmetrical body plan. • Animals with no symmetry often are sessile organisms that do not move from place to place. • Most adult sponges do not move about. Asymmetry • The bodies of most sponges consist of two layers of cells. • Unlike all other animals, a sponge’s embryonic development does not include the formation of an endoderm and mesoderm, or a gastrula stage. Radial symmetry • Animals with radial symmetry can be divided along any plane, through a central axis, into roughly equal halves. Radial symmetry • Radial symmetry is an adaptation that enables an animal to detect and capture prey coming toward it from any direction. Radial symmetry • The body plan of a hydra can be compared to a sack within a sack. • These sacks are cell layers organized into tissues with distinct functions. Radial symmetry • A hydra develops from just two embryonic cell layers—ectoderm and endoderm. Inner cell layer Outer cell layer Bilateral symmetry • An organism with bilateral symmetry can be divided down its length into similar right and left halves. Bilateral symmetry • Bilaterally symmetrical animals can be divided in half only along one plane. • In bilateral animals, the anterior, or head end, often has sensory organs. • The posterior of these animals is the tail end. Bilateral symmetry • The dorsal, or upper surface, also looks different from the ventral, or lower surface. • Animals with bilateral symmetry can find food and mates and avoid predators because they have sensory organs and good muscular control. Bilateral Symmetry and Body Plans • All bilaterally symmetrical animals developed from three embryonic cell layers—ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm. • Some bilaterally symmetrical animals also have fluid-filled spaces inside their bodies called body cavities in which internal organs are found. Acoelomates • Animals that develop from three cell layers—ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm—but have no body cavities are called acoelomate animals. • They have a digestive tract that extends throughout the body. Acoelomates • Flatworms are bilaterally symmetrical animals with solid, compact bodies. Like other acoelomate animals, the organs of flatworms are embedded in the solid tissues of their bodies. Acoelomate Flatworm Ectoderm Mesoderm Endoderm Body cavity Digestive tract Acoelomates • A flattened body and branched digestive tract allow for the diffusion of nutrients, water, and oxygen to supply all body cells and to eliminate wastes. Acoelomate Flatworm Ectoderm Mesoderm Endoderm Body cavity Digestive tract Pseudocoelomates Pseudocoelomate Roundworm Ectoderm Mesoderm Endoderm Body cavity Digestive tract • A roundworm is an animal with bilateral symmetry. • The body of a roundworm has a space that develops between the endoderm and mesoderm. Pseudocoelomates Pseudocoelomate Roundworm • It is called a pseudocoelom —a fluid-filled body cavity partly lined with mesoderm. Ectoderm Mesoderm Endoderm Body cavity Digestive tract Pseudocoelom Pseudocoelomates • Pseudocoelomates can move quickly. • Although the roundworm has no bones, it does have a rigid, fluid-filled space, the pseudocoelom. • Its muscles attach to the mesoderm and brace against the pseudocoelom. Pseudocoelomates • Pseudocoelomates have a one-way digestive tract that has regions with specific functions. • The mouth takes in food, the breakdown and absorption of food occurs in the middle section, and the anus expels waste. Mouth Intestine Round body shape Anus Coelomates Coelomate Segmented Worm • The body cavity of an earthworm develops from a coelom, a fluidfilled space that is completely surrounded by mesoderm. • The greatest diversity of animals is found among the coelomates. Ectoderm Mesoderm Endoderm Body cavity Digestive tract Coelom Coelomates • In coelomate animals, the digestive tract and other internal organs are attached by double layers of mesoderm and are suspended within the coelom. • The coelom cushions and protects the internal organs. It provides room for them to grow and move independently within an animal’s body. Animal Protection and Support • Over time, the development of body cavities resulted in a greater diversity of animal species. • Some animals, such as mollusks, evolved hard shells that protected their soft bodies. • Other animals, such as sponges, evolved hardened spicules between their cells that provided support. Animal Protection and Support • Some animals developed exoskeletons. An exoskeleton is a hard covering on the outside of the body that provides a framework for support. Animal Protection and Support • Exoskeletons also protect soft body tissues, prevent water loss, and provide protection from predators. Animal Protection and Support • As an animal grows, it secretes a new exoskeleton and sheds the old one. • Exoskeletons are often found in invertebrates. An invertebrate is an animal that does not have a backbone. Animal Protection and Support • Invertebrates, such as sea urchins and sea stars, have an internal skeleton called an endoskeleton. It is covered by layers of cells and provides support for an animal’s body. Animal Protection and Support • The endoskeleton protects internal organs and provides an internal brace for muscles to pull against. Animal Protection and Support • An endoskeleton may be made of calcium carbonate, as in sea stars; cartilage, as in sharks; or bone. Calcium carbonate cartilage Animal Protection and Support • Bony fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals all have endoskeletons made of bone. bone Animal Protection and Support • A vertebrate is an animal with an endoskeleton and a backbone. All vertebrates are bilaterally symmetrical. Origin of Animals • Most biologists agree that animals probably evolved from aquatic, colonial protists. • Scientists trace this evolution back in time to late in the Precambrian. Origin of Animals Origin of Animals • Many scientists agree that all the major animal body plans that exist today were already in existence at the beginning of the Cambrian Period, 543 million years ago. • All known species have variations of the animal body plans developed during the Cambrian Period.
