Describe plants mode of nutrition
Create food through photosynthesis - Plants are autotrophic
How does fungi obtain nutrition?
Fungi are heterotrophs that grow on or near their food, fungi obtain nutrition through absorption
How do animals obtain nutrition?
Animals are heterotrophs that obtain nutrition through ingestion and enzymes break down the food within their bodies
Within cell structure and specialization what characteristics do animals share with fungi and plants? what is different?
Similarity - For the most part plants, animals, and fungi are all multicellular
Difference - Most animals have two types of specialized cells not found in plants or fungi; muscle cells and nerve cells
Describe step by step early embryonic development in animals
ZYGOTE undergoes series of mitotic divisions called cleavage
EIGHT-CELL embryo is formed by three rounds of cell division
In most animals cleavage produces a BLASTULA (hollow ball of cells that surround a cavity called the BLASTOCOEL)
animals undergo GASTRULATION (one end of the embryo folds inward, expands and eventually fills the blastocoel) creating the endoderm and the ectoderm
Pouch formed by the gastrulation is called the ARCHETERON opens to the outside via the blastopore
Endoderm of the archeteron develops into the tissue lining the animals digestive tract
