Bio Lab 2 (Porifera and Cnidaria) Flashcards
Phyla being discussed
Porifera and cnidaria
Porifera and cnidaria
very simple
eukaryotic
multicellular
ingestive- feeding heterotroughs
porifera
- mostly salt water
- asymmetrical body plan
- filter feeding
- sessile
- have three body plans
three body plans of …
porifera
asconoid
synconoid
leuconoid
asconoid
- hollow cylinder
synconoid
cylinder with alternating pockets
leuconoid
extensive aquifers system
Porifera body plan
- center cavity is called the spongocoel
- water current is formed by choanocytes (collar cells) that also filter water
- water enters through the osmium and exits through the sponge through osculum
what creates water current
choanocytes, food-filtering cells that line the internal cavity
Porifera sponge wall consists of
- amoebocytes have multiple names based on their function
- they make collagen fibres, make spicules, make gemmules and make sperm and eggs
- also have spongin, spicules, mesenchyme
gemmules
asexual reproduction in Porifera made by amoebocytes
spongin
proteinaceous fibers that give sponges their form
- Porifera
spicules made of
- Porifera
- that are made of calcium (calcareous) or silicon (siliceous) 1
mesenchyme
- porifera
- is a gelatinous matrix that the spongin and spicules are embedded in
cnidaria
- radially symmetrical
- a body wall surrounds a cavity where extracellular digestion occurs
- carnivorous
cnidaria digestion
extracellular
cnidaria body wall is made of
ectoderm with an outer later or stinging cells called cnidocytes
- mesoglea: gelatinous middle
- endoderm, the inner cell layer called the gastroderm)
cnidocytes
stinging cells that have a long harpoon-like structure called a nematocyst
- when triggered, it discharges the nematocyst
- cnidaria
