Chapter 10: Animal Diversity Part I Flashcards
What are the three characteristics all animals share?
- Multicellular
- Heterotrophic
- Have collagen
What are 3 characteristics of all Porifera?
- aquatic
- lack of symmetry
- lack true organ tissue
Sponges “eat” by…?
filter feeding- drawing water into the small external Ostia by means of beating flagella of the choanocytes and out through the osculum
mesohyl
gelatinous mixture that holds choanocytes, internal body cells, and external body cells
spongin
a special protein found in the mesohyl of sponges
spicules
extracellular calcium carbonate or silica that function as a skeleton
totipotency
most body cells can generate an entire organism given the right conditions
choanocytes
flagellated cells with gelatinous collars of microvilli surrounding a flagellum
gemmules
small, budding cell groups that are produces by a form of asexual reproduction
Do Porifera have true tissue?
no
Cnidaria are diploblastic. T or F?
T
Diploblastic
true tissues and posses two germ layers
What are the two germ laters?
ectoderm and endoderm
Ectoderm
forms outer epidermis

cnidocytes
found in some cnidaria that have contain special stinging cells
nematocyst
a specialized stinging cell found on cnidocytes on cnidaria
