Campbell Biology 10th Ed: Chapter 33 (An Introduction to Invertebrates Flashcards
What percentage of known animal species are invertebrates?
95%
invertebrates
animals that lack a backbone
What animals are known to be morphologically diverse and occupying almost every habitat on Earth?
invertebrates
Sponges are ____ animals that lack ____ tissues
basal; true
What phyla are known as sponges?
Porifera
How do animals in the phylum Porifera move?
they are sedentary
Where do sponges live?
in marine or fresh water
How do sponges feed?
filter feed
filter feeders
capture food particles suspended in water that passes through their body
Water is drawn through pores into a cavity called the ______ and out through and opening called the ______
spongocoel; osculum
What do sponges lack?
true tissues and organs

Eumetazoa
animals with true tissues
cnidarians
ancient carnivorous phylum of eumetazoans, 580MYA-present. Cnidarians are classified into four main groups: the almost wholly sessile Anthozoa (sea anemones, corals, sea pens); swimming Scyphozoa (jellyfish); Cubozoa (box jellies); and Hydrozoa, a diverse group that includes all the freshwater cnidarians as well as many marine forms, and has both sessile members, such as Hydra, and colonial swimmers, such as the Portuguese Man o’ War.
What two variations exist of the cnidarian body plan?
the sessile polyp and motile medusa
polyp
sessile cnidarian that adheres to the substrate by the aboral end of its body
medusa
motile cnidarian that has a bell shaped body with a mouth on its underside
cnidarian body plans
Polyp and medusa forms of cnidarians. The body wall of a cnidarian has two layers of cells: an outer layer of epidermis (darker blue; derived from ectoderm) and an inner layer of gastrodermis (yellow; derived from endoderm). Digestion begins in the gastrovascular cavity and is completed inside food vacuoles in the gastrodermal cells. Sandwiched between the epidermis and gastrodermis is a gelatinous layer, the mesoglea.
What do cnidarians use to capture prey?
tentacles
cnidocytes
unique cells on cnidarian tentacles that are used for defense and capture of prey
nematocysts
specialized organelles in cnidocytes that eject a stinging thread
cnidocyte diagram
A cnidocyte of a hydra. This type of cnidocyte contains a stinging capsule, the nematocyst, which contains a coiled thread. When a “trigger” is stimulated by touch or by certain chemicals, the thread shoots out, puncturing and injecting poison into prey.
hydrozoans
cnidarians that alternate between polyp and medusa forms
hydra
freshwater cnidarian that exists only in polyp form and reproduces asexually by budding
hydra life cycles
The life cycle of the hydrozoan Obelia. The polyp is asexual, and the medusa is sexual, releasing eggs and sperm. These two stages alternate, one producing the other.
______ have the widest range of animal body forms
lophotrochozoans
Bilaterian animals have ______ symmetry and ________ development
bilateral; triploblastic
What do most bilaterians have?
a coelom and digestive tract with two openings
What three clades are within the clade Bilateria?
Lophotrochozoa, Ecdysozoa, and Deuterostomia
flatworms
members of the phylum platyhelminthes that live in marine, freshwater, and damp terrestrial habitats
How many germ layers do flatworms have?
three
