Chapter 28 Flashcards
what characterized clade parazoa?
no tissues, body cavity, or symmetry
who are members of phylum porifera and where are they found?
sponges; marine and freshwater
are sponges free swimming or sessile?
larvae free swimming, adults sessile
list and describe the 3 layers of sponge body walls
- inner layer: specialized cells, for feeding
- middle layer: gelatinous, protein rich matrix called mesohyl, may contain spicule or spongin
- outer layer: protective epithelial cells
what is the space inside the sponge called?
spongocoel
what are the pores in the outer layer of a sponge called and what do they do?
ostia, let food and water inside
list the 3 sponge body types, in order from simplest to most complex and most surface arearelease of gamet
ascenoid, syconoid, leuconoid
what is the role of the choanocyte flagella in porifera?
keep wtaer moving for the filter feeding
how does sponges reproduce?
asexually: through fragmentation and
sexually: through release of gametes for random mating
what do larval sponges use for swimming?
cilia
what 2 clades are in eumetazoa?
radiata and bilateria
list the symmetry and body cavity of radiata
radial symmetry and no body cavity
what 2 phyla are in clade radiata?
cnidaria and ctenophora
where are cnidarians found?
nearly all marine
do cnidarians have tissues?
yes but no organs
discuss the tissue layers of cnidarians
diploblastic, layer of gelatinous material, or mesoglea between endo and ectoderm
what is the cnidarian diet?
carnivorous
what are the 2 basic body forms of cnidarians?
medusa and polyp
how do polyps reproduce?
either sexually or asexually by budding
how do medusae reproduce?
sexually, making free swimming larvae called planulae
how does digestion work in cnidarians?
internal extracellular digestion; enzymes are released to break down food, then extracellular fragmentation in the gastrovascular cavity, followed by phagocytosis and intracellular digestion
how is circulation, respiration, and excretion accomplished in cnidarians?
through diffusion bc no organs
what are the unique,specialized cells on the epidermis of cnidarians?
cnidocytes
what are the specialized stinging cnidocytes?
nematocysts function in food acquisition and defense
list the 4 classes of cnidarians
- hydrozoa
- scyphozoa
- anthozoa
- cubozoa
what is the only class of cnidarians with both marine and freshwater species?
hydrozoa
