Acoelomate Characteristics: No coelom
What is a coelom?
A body cavity that is completely surrounded by mesodermal tissue. A coelom is not open to the outside of the animal.

Feeding and Digestion
Feeding– Free-living, carnivorous – Have an eversible proboscis that is not connected to
the digestive system
Proboscis: usually tipped with a stylet

Feeding and Digestion
Digestion– extracellular (in the intestine)– intracellular (by gastrodermal cells)– intestine is unbranched– complete system (mouth and anus)
![Page 12: The Acoelomates (continued) Trploblastic animals without a coelom](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061411/56649eb35503460f94bba9a5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Reproduciton
Asexual– Most species are capable of reproducing asexually
through fragmentation and regeneration
Sexual- Most species are dioecious and have external
fertilization
![Page 13: The Acoelomates (continued) Trploblastic animals without a coelom](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061411/56649eb35503460f94bba9a5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Reproduction
gametes
gonopre
Fertilization is external: gametes are released through the gonopore. Eggs are laid in an egg capsule or burrow.

What is a coelom?
A body cavity that is completely surrounded by mesodermal tissue. A coelom is not open to the outside of the animal.

esophagus)

skeleton

Support and Locomotion
Cuticle– covers body (secreted by epidermis + composed mostly of collagen)
– functions as a primitive external skeleton
– must be molted for animal to grow
![Page 35: The Acoelomates (continued) Trploblastic animals without a coelom](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061411/56649eb35503460f94bba9a5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Nematode cuticle
Support and Locomotion
The cuticle appears to be segmented. However the external rings (annuli) do not correspond to internal segments.
These external rings make the cuticle flexible and may help the cuticle grip the surface.
![Page 36: The Acoelomates (continued) Trploblastic animals without a coelom](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061411/56649eb35503460f94bba9a5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Locomotion– longitudinal muscles ONLY: they act against the
cuticle and pseudocoel
(results in “whiplike” motion)

only animals to have this kind of sperm)

•It is a simple animal that shares many of the essential biological characteristics that are central to problems of human biology
•It displays eutely: having an invariant and genetically fixed number of cells.
•It’s genome has now been sequenced

Reproduciton
Amictic eggs
• diploid (mitotically produced)• can’t be fertilized• develop into diploid, amictic females
![Page 67: The Acoelomates (continued) Trploblastic animals without a coelom](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061411/56649eb35503460f94bba9a5/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Reproduction
Mictic eggs
• haploid (meiotically produced)
• produced after some sort of environmental stimulus (eg. high density, change in temperature)
• if unfertilized, develop into haploid males
• if fertilized, secrete a thick, protective shell until the environment is favorable again, after which they develop into diploid, amictic females

Reproduction
Sexual- complex life cycle with different types of eggs- In sexual species males often represent a
small percent of the populaiton (< 1 %).- Males do not feed (no digestive system).

Reproduction
Asexual:
Parthenogenesis: unisexual reproduction where females produce offspring from unfertilized eggs, diploid eggs (virgin birth)

Bdelloid Rotifers
The benefits of sex (from an evolutionary perspective):
1. Purge mutations
2. Create genetic variation (through recombination)

Bdelloid Rotifers
Complete asexuality is generally thought to be an evolutionary dead end.
There are very few organisms that are completely asexual.

Bdelloid Rotifers
Bdelloid Rotifers:
•Completely asexual
•At least 45 million years old
•4 families, 18 genera, and 360 described species

Bdelloid Rotifers
How have Bdelloid Rotifers been able to be so successful when most completely asexual species go extinct quickly?
