two types of diversity in Phylum Porifera
morphological diversity and phylogenetic diversity
three types of morphological diversity in Porifera
Asconoid, Synconoid, and Leuconoid
three types of phylogenetic diversity in Porifera
Calcarea, Hexactinellida, and Demospongiae
most sponges are ____
Demospongiae
small incurrent pores on the sponge body
ostia
body cavity in a sponge
spongocoel
main excurrent body opening in a sponge
osculum
process by which water filters through a sponge
ostia suck water into the spongocoel and out through the osculum
small silica molecules that create structure in the sponge body
spicules
name for the sponge body (the especially spongey part)
mesohyl
creates the water current through the sponge
choanocytes
simplest sponge body form
asconoid
sponge body form that contains choanocyte-lined radial canals which empty into a single spongocoel
synconoid
sponge body form where multiple flagellated chambers connected together pump water into the spongocoel
leuconoid
largest/sturdiest/most abundant sponge body form
leuconoid
three classes of Porifera
calcarea, demospongiae, and hexactinellida
the earliest class of Porifera
calcarea
class of Porifera with spicules made form calcium carbonate, a generally small size, encompassing all three morphological types
calcarea
class of Porifera called “glass sponges”, live in deep ocean, have lattice-like skeleton made from silica spicules, live up to 15,000 years, all choanocytes are fused together to form a synctium, all have synconoid morphology
hexactinellida
one cell with many nuclei
synctium
class of Porifera that contains >75% of all sponge diversity, spicules often replaced with a spongin lattice, all have leuconoid morphology, contains the only existing freshwater sponges
demospongiae
monotypic phylum containing only Trichoplax adhaerens
Placozoa
morphology of Placozoa
small, flat, no symmetry, marine, reproduces by splitting in half
phylum containing comb jellies
Ctenophora
morphology of Ctenophora
entirely marine, small, translucent, tissues (but no organs), no CNS, biradial symmetry, oral and aboral ends, many have paired sticky tentacles, food partially digested in pharynx but fully in cells, 8 rows of comb-like plates of cilia for motion, mostly hermaphroditic, have a mouth, stomach, anal pores, and rudimentary gut
phylum containing anemonies, corals, and jellies
Cnidaria
morphology of Cnidaria
aquatic (mostly marine), diploblastic with mesoglea in between, radial symmetry, very diverse, stinging cnidocytes, blind gut, no CNS, light-sensing, ahve tissues
in Cnidaria, tentacles are found on the ____ side
oral
four key classes of Cnidaria
anthozoa, scyphozoa, cubozoa, and hydrozoa
free-swimming Cnidarians (like jellyfish)
medusa
sessile Cnidarians (like anemones)
polyp
gun-like cells on Cnidarian epidermis that shoot out when touched
cnidocytes
common type of cnidocyte that releases a paralyzing and stinging toxin
nematocysts
two phases of digestion for Cnidarians
1) enzymes released into GVC start breaking down prey
2) cells lining GVC phagocytize prey tissue ad absorb nutrients
