Animals Flashcards
choanoflagalleters and sponges use a choanocyte.. what’s a choanocyte?
a choanocyte is a collar of microvilli used for locomotion and feeding
tight junction
movement of dissolved materials through the space between cells
desmosomes
stronger hold between two cells in comparison to tight junctions but material can still move around the cell
gap junctions
allow communication between the cells
whats the difference between adult and larvae sponges?
adult sponges are sessile while the larvae is motile (free swimming)
what kind of feeder are sponges?
they’re filter feeders
do sponges have a gut cavity?
no
pinacocyte (sponge cell)
outside cell
collenocyte ( sponge cell)
gives stiffness
archaeocyte (sponge cell)
can migrate around the sponge
meshy (sponge cell)
non living
how can flagellum push lots of water out?
principle of continuity : reduce the cross sectional area of the outflow increases velocity
how does principle of continuity apply to sponges?
they have many inputs with less out puts
what is the con of sponge getting bigger?
food is filtered inside through the walls and if its big theres a big dead space because the volume is larger than the SA
Aquiferous system
3 types
asconoid
sycanoid
leucanoiid
asconoid are small and rain drop shaped
syconoid has folds so the cell wall can filter more food
leuconoid has chamber to chamber for efficient filtering
what supports the living tissue of sponge body
glass and fibers
the mesoglea of the polyp is like our
ECM : it is in-between the gatrodermis and epidermis
why can various polyp form with a medusa?
one genotype can have multiple body forms
polyp can divide to make both
colony and clones
how does a polyp make clones?
buds detach after branching out or poly goes through fissin
how does a polyp make a colony?
buds branch off of the side and all the guts are still connected to each other
since it permits food sharing, they are able to specialize
when polyp fight for space on a hard surface what do they do?
it wipes stinging cells to non genetic same clone
how are medusa formed and what’s their main purpose
medusa are formed through binary fission, on the other hand their main purpose is to mate
life cycle of hydrozoa
male produces sperm and female produces egg
planula larva settles on ground and goes through metamorphosis to a polyp
polyp will have bb medusa
life cycle of Scyphozoa
STROBILATION
male and female make fertilized egg
planula larva settles to ground and to make a medusa a slice of poly has to slice off
Anthozoa
makes polyps only
