Ch. 33 pt 1 Flashcards
What are invertebrates?
animals that lack backbone
what are the 4 feeding strategies?
1) filter feeder
2) mass feeder
3) deposit feeder
4) fluid feeder
map sponges from kindom Animalia
subkingdom: Parazoa
phylum: Porifera
Phylum Porifera characteristics (6)
1) Porifera (pore bearer)
2) Sponges
3) Lack tissues
4) Multicellular with several types of cells
5) No apparent symmetry
6) Adults are sessile, larvae are free-swimming
what type of feeding strategy do sponges use?
filter feeding
What is filter feeding?
Capturing food particles suspended in the water that pass through their body
Explain water movement for sponges
Water is drawn through pores into a cavity called the spongocoel and out through an opening called the osculum
What is an ostium?
an opening into a vessel or body cavity
what is an osculum?
Main opening at the aboral end of sponges
what are porocytes
cells that create the opening in sponges
osculum (Latin origin)
mouth
What are the 2 different cell types in sponges?
1) choanocytes
2) amoebocytes
What separates the 2 cell layers in sponges?
gelatinous noncellular mesohyl layer
Characteristics of choanocytes (3)
1) flagellated collar cells
2) generate water current through sponge
3) ingest suspended food
characteristics of amoebocytes (5)
1) totipotent
2) found in mesohyl
3) play a role in digestion and manufacturing of skeletal fibers
4) absorb, digest, and carry food from choanocytes
5) move by pseudopodia
choano
funnel
What is the function of spicules?
structural support; mesohyle
Explain sexual reproduction for sponges? (4)
1) most hermaphrodites produce egg and sperm
2) gametes from amoebocytes or choanocytes
3) fertilization occurs in mesohyl
4) larvae exit through the osculum
Explain asexual reproduction for sponges?
via fragmentation
small fragment or bud detach and form new sponge
what is sequential hermaphroditism?
function as one sex and then as the other
Characteristics of Phylum Cnidaria (5)
1) radial symmetry
2) Diploblastic
3) gastrovascular cavity
4) single opening
5) true nerve cells arranged in nerve net
What are the two types of body plans in Cnidaria?
1) sessile polyp
2) motile medusa
