Document Summary

Biol 226 chapter 32 animal diversity. Animals are multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes with tissues that develop from embryonic layers. Animals ingest their food and then use enzymes to digest it within their bodies. Proteins external to the cell membrane provide structural support to animal cells and connect them to one another. Tissues groups of cells that have a common structure, function, or both. Most animals reproduce sexually, and the diploid stage usually dominates the life cycle. In the haploid stage, sperm and eggs cells are produced directly by meiotic division. A small, flagellated sperm fertilizes a larger, non- motile egg, forming a diploid zygote. The zygote then undergoes cleavage, a succession of mitotic cell divisions without cell growth between the divisions. Cleavage leads to the formation of a multicellular stage called a blastula (a hollow ball) In the process of gastrulation, during which the layers of embryonic tissues that will develop into adult body parts are produced.
