Cambrian and Ordivician Flashcards
Clams are an example of the mollusk body plan specialized for this type of feeding.
Filter
Cnidarians remove undigested food from the gastrovascular cavity through this opening.
Mouth
Planaria feeds by using this structure to get food into its digestive tract.
Pharynx
The ancestral echinoderms tube feet were originally used for this.
Feeding
These cover the surface of a bryozoan’s tentacles.
Cilia
This type of skeleton is found in Ecdysozoans.
Exoskeleton
The type of symmetry characteristic of cnidarians.
Radial
In an echinoderm the tip of the tube toot uses this to help it attach to the substrate.
Suction
Like corals, these animals built reefs on the Ordovician Oceans.
Bryazoa
A free living flatworm’s mouth is located on the side of the animal.
Ventral
The number of muscle layers in a nematode.
One
most echinoderms have this number of arms.
Five
With two different body types, we refer to the life cycle of cnidarians as being this.
Dimorphic
Because onychophorans are active at this time of the day they are considered to be.
Nocturnal
This is the sessile in the cnidarian cycle.
Polyp
Metameres in a worm are also called there.
Segments
This arthropod was abundant during the Cambrian and although it survived into the Ordovician it is now extinct.
