AP Bio March Through the Kingdoms Due 3/13

List and describe the three domains of living things and list some major organisms belonging to each domain.

II. Explain why the following domain classification scheme is often used instead of the traditional classification scheme starting with the kingdom which preceded it.

III. State several characteristics of the universal ancestor indicated by the letter X.

IV. Complete the following chart

Prokaryote Autotroph Other Characteristics (3 minimum for Kingdom or or each kingdom) Eukaryote Heterotroph Monera

Protista

Animal Plant

Animal Characteristics Define these terms on another sheet of paper: Parazoa, Eumetazoa, protostome, deuterostome, diploblastic, triploblastic, radial, bilateral, asymmetry, acoelomate, schizocoelous, & enterocoelous Using the meanings of the above terms, complete the following chart for animal characteristics:

Animal Phylum Higher Tissues Symmetry Coelom Coelomic taxa type formation

Portuguese man-of- war

Brittle star

Planarian

Rotifer

Horseshoe crab

Roundwor m

Sponge Earthworm

V. Describe the differences between the terms in each of the following pairs.

(a.) Coelomate versus psuedocoelomate versus acoelomate body plan (b.) Protostome versus deuterostome development (c.) Radial versus bilateral symmetry

VI. Discuss how the characteristics listed in parts a and b of question number V were involved in the construction of the phylogenetic tree of the animal kingdom below. Also discuss the significance of the hardly visible letter at the bottom of the phylogenetic tree.

VII. Classify each of the following phyla of the Animal Kingdom according to the characteristics listed in part one above. Record your information in a chart like fashion. The phyla to be assessed are as follows; Porifera, Cnidaria, Echinodermata, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Annelida, Arthropoda, Mollusca, and Chordata. (Note: A phylum which is acoelomate or psuedocoelomate is obviously not either protostome or deuterostome.)

For each of the following, choose the response which best completes each of the following statements or answers each of the following questions.

Utilize the following key to select the correct answers for questions 1-5.
