• A newer system recognizes two basically
distinctive groups of prokaryotes
– The domain Bacteria
– The domain Archaea
• A third domain,
the Eukarya,
includes all
kingdoms of
eukaryotes

WHAT IS AN ANIMAL?
Structure, nutrition and life history
define animals
• Animals are multicellular, heterotrophic Eukarya.
– They must take in preformed organic molecules through
ingestion, eating other organisms or organic material
that is decomposing. Animals oxidize glucose,
converting it to carbon dioxide, water plus energy(ATP).

Most animals reproduce sexually, with the
diploid stage usually dominating the life cycle.
– In most species, a small flagellated sperm fertilizes a
larger, nonmotile egg.
– The zygote undergoes cleavage more mitotic cell
divisions blastula gastrula: gastrulation –
invagination producing two tissue layers, ectoderm
and endoderm and most mesoderm.

PHYLUM
Traditional phylogenetic
tree of animals - based
mainly on grades in body
“plans”, and
characteristics of
embryonic development
unresolved
•Each major branch
represents a grade,
defined by certain
body-plan features
shared by the animals
belonging to that
branch.

The major grades are distinguished by structural
changes at four deep branches.
The first branch point ( 1 ) splits:
the Parazoa - lack true tissues, from the
the Eumetazoa - have true tissues.
–
–
–
The parazoans, phylum Porifera or sponges,
represent an early branch of the animal kingdom.
Sponges have unique development and a
structural simplicity.

Second branch point 2 -- The eumetazoans are divided
into two major branches, partly based on body
symmetry.
– Radiata - radial symmetry. Cnidaria (hydras, jellies, sea
anemones etc), Ctenophora (comb jellies).
-- Bilateria – bilateral symmetry with a dorsal - ventral side,
an anterior and posterior end, and a left and right side.
•Linked with bilateral symmetry is cephalization, an evolutionary
trend anterior CNS, extending to the tail end as a longitudinal nerve
chord.
• Radiata and bilateria differ in the basic organization of
germ layers (embryonic tissues), differs between.
• The Radiata are diploblastic - 2 germ layers.
– The ectoderm, outer layer integument, and in some phyla,
the CNS.
– The endoderm, the innermost layer lines the developing
digestive tube, or archenteron, and gives rise to the lining of
the digestive tract and the organs derived from it (eg. liver and
lungs of vertebrates).
• The Bilateria are triploblastic – 3 germ layers
– The third germ layer, the mesoderm lies between the
endoderm and ectoderm.
– The mesoderm gives rise to the muscles and most other
organs between the digestive tube and the outer covering of
the animal.

Third branch point 3 -- Bilateria divided by
the presence or absence of a body cavity (a
fluid-filled space) and by the structure of the
cavity.
• Acoelomates (Platyhelminthes) have a solid body and
lack a body cavity.

Pseudocoelomate – presence of a body cavity,
not completely lined by mesoderm.
– Pseudocoelomates include the rotifers (phylum
Rotifera) and the roundworms (phylum Nematoda).

Coelomates -- true coelom, a fluid-filled body
cavity completely lined by mesoderm.
– The inner and outer layers of tissue that surround
the cavity connect dorsally and ventrally to form
membranes, which suspend the internal organs.
– Include Phylum Mollusca and up…..

Fourth branch point 4 -- Coelomates are
divided into two grades based on differences in
their development.
– Protostomes - Mollusks, annelids, arthropods, and
several other phyla.
– Deuterostomes - Echinoderms, chordates and
several other phyla.
– These differences center on cleavage pattern,
coelom formation, and blastopore fate.

. Phylum Porifera: Sponges are sessile with
porous bodies and choanocytes
• Choanocytes resemble the choanoflagellates.
• No Germ layers. Alternatively, loose federations
of cells, relatively unspecialized, but ~12
different types.
• No real tissues.
• Sessile animals that lack nerves or muscles.
– But individual cells can sense and react to changes in
the environment.

• The 9,000 or so species of sponges (1 cm to 2
m in height). Mostly marine.
– Only ~ 100 species live in fresh water.

Sponge Life Cycle
• Most sponges are hermaphrodites.
– Gametes arise from choanocytes or
amoebocytes.
– The eggs stay in mesohyl; sperms are carried
out the osculum by water current.
– Sperms drawn into neighboring individuals and
fertilize eggs.
– Zygotes develop into flagellated, swimming
larvae that disperse from the parent.
– Larva finds a suitable substratum, and develops
into a sessile adult.

Sponge aggregation Expt.
• If a sponge is forced through a small screen
so that the cells are separated from each
other and then put in a glass beaker, within
two weeks the sponge will have
reassembled itself into its native form.
• What does this experiment tell us?
• That cells communicate with each other and
know their position relative to each other.
The animal kingdom probably
evolved from a colonial,
flagellated protist
• Most systematists now agree that the animal
kingdom is monophyletic.
• If we could trace all the animals lineages
back to their origin, they would converge
on a common ancestor.
• That ancestor was most likely a colonial
flagellated protist that lived over 700 million
years ago in the Precambrian era.
This protist was
probably related to
choanoflagellates, a
group that arose about a
billion years ago.
Modern
choanoflagellates
are tiny, stalked
organisms
inhabiting shallow
ponds,
lakes, and marine
environments.
• One hypothesis for origin of animals from a
flagellated protist suggests that a colony of
identical cells evolved into a hollow sphere.
• The cells of this sphere then specialized,
creating two or more layers of cells.
