16
Q

Invertebrates

A

Absence of backbones.

Sponges, nidarians, flatworms, roundworms, annelids, Echinoderms,

17
Q

Vertebrates

A

Presence of backbone.

Chordates

18
Q

Sponges

A

Phylum- Porifera.

Live in marine environment
No movement
Lack tissue but cellular organization
Asexual reproduction (fragmentation or budding)

19
Q

Pores on sponges

A

Pores are located on the outer surface of the sponge. Allows h2o to enter.

20
Q

How does water flow through sponges

A

Beating of flagella produces water current. Flows through pores into central cavity and out of osculum.

When water enters, o2 is extracted. Microorganism are filtered out and taken into individual cells where they are digested and waste releases.

H20 and water released through the osculum

21
Q

Cnidarians

A

Phylum- cnidaira

Body symmetry- radical
Lives in shallow marine waters
Tubular animals with tissues
Distinct tissues but lack organs

Jellyfish. Nerve net found throughout body

22
Q

Nematocysts

A

On tentacles of Cnidaria. Stinging organelles that inject toxins to capture prey. Toxins are sticky filaments, poisonous, and painful.

23
Q

How many openings in cnidarians

A
  1. It leads to gastrovascular cavity. Site of digestion, site of gas exchange. Waste discharge, formation of gametes.
24
Q

Polyp

A

Cnidarian. Tube shaped. Attaches to rocks. Tentacles reach up

25
Q

Medusa

A

Bell shaped. Floats in water and is carried by currents

26
Q

Annelid

A

Phylum- Annelida
Protostome
Bilateral symmetry
Coelomate

Earthworms

27
Q

Segments

A

On annelids. Ring like depressions on the surface. Allows an animal to alter the shape of its body and control movements.

28
Q

Digestive tract in annelids

A

Closed and complete

29
Q

Circulatory in annelid

A

5 hearts

30
Q

Respiratory in annelids

A

Gas exchange by diffusion across body surface.

31
Q

Reproduction in annelids

A

Hermaphroditic. Two worms like in parallel to each other facing in opposite directions. Fused midbody segment secretes mucus.
