What animals are in the Porifera phylum?
Sponges
True or False: Porifera (sponges) do not have “true” tissue (i.e. no gastrulation and they’re not diplo/triploblastic)
True
How do Porifera move?
As larvae, they can swim but eventually, they settle on a substrate and then grow into an adult (they’re not motile)
How do Porifera eat and breathe?
They’re filter-feeders
What is the Body Plan of Porifera?
Asymmetrical
What is the large, internal cavity of a sponge (porifera)?
Spongocoel
Water flows into the Spongocoel through what?
Ostia (pores)
What is Osculum?
A large opening at the top of the sponge where water is expelled
Sponges (Porifera) lack which systems?
- Digestive
- Nervous
- Respiratory
- Circulatory
How is food digested in Porifera (sponges)?
Intracellularly; they are absorbed by cells inside the spongocoel
How does Gas Exchange, Circulation, and Waste Excretion process in Porifera (sponges)?
Diffusion
How do the contraction and choanocyte cells communicate?
Intercellularly
How do Porifera (sponges) reproduce?
Both sexually and asexually
What animals make up the Cnidaria phylum?
Jellyfish and Anemones
What is the body plan of Cnidarians?
Radial or Bilateral
What type of tissues do Cnidarians have?
Diploblastic
True or False: Cnidarians are protostomes
False: Cnidarians are neither protostomes or deuterostomes
What kind of digestive system do Cnidarians have?
Incomplete
What does it mean for an animal to have an Incomplete Digestive System?
The animal is not a protostome or deuterostome; food and waste enters/leaves through the same opening
What is a defining characteristic of Cnidarians?
Cnidocyte
What are Cnidocytes?
Stinging cells
What are Nematocysts?
Stinging Organelles
What are the 2 body types of Cnidarians?
Polyp and Medusa
Polyp species are [sessile or motile?]
Sessile
Medusa species are [sessile or motile?]
Motile
In Cnidarians, the Gastrodermis is derived from what?
Endoderm tissue
In Cnidarians, the Epidermis is derived from what?
Ectoderm tissue
True or False: Cnidarians have non-living mesoglea tissue between them
True
Cnidarians have specialized tissue cells but no _________
No true organ systems
True or False: Cnidarians have a nervous system
False: They have nerve cells but no nervous system
What kind of cells do Cnidarians have for movement?
Contractile Epithelial Cells
Cnidarians don’t have a digestive system but they do have…
- Enzyme excreting cells
- Nutrient absorbing cells
The gastrovascular cavity in Cnidarians have how many openings?
1; it is both the mouth and anus
How are nutrients absorbed in Cnidarians?
Nutrients are distributed through the Mesoglea to the Epidermal cells
Name the 5 Cnidarian classes
- Anthozoa
- Scyohozoa
- Cubozoa
- Hydrozoa
What animals make up the Anthozoa class of Cnidarias?
Sessile Polyp species (coral, sea fans, sea anemones)
What animals make up the Scyphozoa class of Cnidarias?
Medusa species & Jellyfish
What animals make up the Cubozoa class of Cnidarias?
Medusa species & Box jellies
What animals make up the Hydrozoa class of Cnidarias?
Sessile & Medusa species (hydra, Portuguese man o’ war)
How do Cnidarians (jellyfish) reproduce?
Mostly sexual but some are asexual
What animals make up the Platyhelminthes phylum?
Flatworms
What body plan do Platyhelminthes have?
Bilaterial
What type of gastrulation tissues do Platyhelminthes have?
Triploblastic (acoelmate)
Are Platyhelminthes protostomes or deuterostomes?
Protostomes
True of False: Platyhelminthes have a complete digestive system
False: They have an incomplete digestive system
What is Cephalization?
Formation of tissues and organs during embryonic development of the zygote
What kind of cephalization do Platyhelminthes have?
Simple cephalization, meaning they have nerve tissues and sensory organs in a head
How can Platyhelminthes hunt/look for food?
Free-living (predators or scavengers) or Parasitic
In Platyhelminthes, where do ingested food go to?
Ingested food goes into the rudimentary digestive system (food is digested in the intestine)
How do Platyhelminthes digest their food?
Extracellularly then absorbed into gut cells (cells of gut)
In Platyhelminthes, where do waste products go?
Waste products are returned to the gut and then released through the mouth/anus
How does the Excretory System work in Platyhelminthes?
The Excretory System is a network of tubules running along the periphery
What are the flame cells in Platyhelminthes?
Flame cells have cilia that propel waste fluid out of the body through pores
What makes up a Platyhelminthes’ nervous system and what do they do?
2 cerebral ganglia for sensing light and chemicals
Which systems do Platyhelminthes NOT have?
Circulatory & Respiratory
How do Platyhelminthes do gas exchange?
Gas exchange through the Epidermis
How are nutrients distributed in Platyhelminthes?
Nutrients are distributed through gap junctions
How do Platyhelminthes reproduce?
Most are monoecious, meaning they have internal fertilization and produce eggs
What animals make up the Mollusca phylum?
Snails, Mussels, Octopodes, etc.
What is the body plan of Molluscas?
Bilateral with cephalization
What kind of tissues do Molluscas have?
Triploblastic, eucoelomate
Are Molluscas are [protostome or deuterostome?]
Protostomes
Do Molluscas have an incomplete or complete digestive system?
Complete Digestive System; they have a mouth and anus

How does the Complete Digestive system work in Molluscas?
Food ingested through the mouth → Processed in the gut → Waste expelled through anus
