DAT Bootcamp Taxonomy
Notochord - ANS A length of cartilage extending along the body, which will become the spine.
The notochord is that feature that will eventually develop into the spine. The spinal cord begins
as the dorsal neural tube. Pharyngeal slits are present in all chordates at some point during their
development. For fish they will become gills, in other animals it will evolve into the pharynx, and
in urochordates they are part of the filter-feeding system. The muscular tail that extends behind
the anus is known as the post-anal tail. The endostyle is what produces mucus for filter feeders.
Because it also stores iodine, it is believed to be the precursor for the thyroid gland.
poikilothermic - ANS "cold-blooded animal" and cannot regulate its own body temperature
internally.
(reptiles and amphibians)
Homeotherms - ANS mammals that can regulate their own body temperature
(dogs, ducks, whales, dolphins, birds)
Traits unique to Fungi - ANS Fungi cell walls are made of glucan and chitin;
Which of the following lacks a coelom? - ANS flatworms (planarian) are acoelomates because
the coelom is not found in the mesoderm.
coelom - ANS is a cavity lined by an epithelium derived from mesoderm. Mollusks have a
reduced, but present coelom.
Arthropod life stages - ANS Larvae --> Pupa --> Metamorphoses --> Adult
Heterotrophic - ANS organism must seek its energy from sources other than itself
Echinodermata - ANS sea stars and sea urchins
Fungi cell walls - ANS the distinguishing feature is that fungi contain chitin in their cell walls,
which is a nitrogen containing polysaccharide
Protist - ANS Protista are the "odd" organisms that can be animal-like, fungus-like, unicellular,
or multicellular.
Archaea - ANS prokaryotes that are more closely related to eukaryotes than bacteria
