Sponges are ___________, capturing food particles suspended in the water that passes through their body
suspension feeders
In sponges, water is drawn through pores into a central cavity called the _______ and out the sponge through a large opening called the _________
spongocoel, osculum

jellies, corals, and hydras
Cnidarians exhibit a relatively simple ______ (have 2 developmental germ layers), radial body plan (exhibit radial symmetry)
diploblastic, radial body plan
The basic body plan of a cnidarian is a sac with a central digestive compartment, the ____________. And a single opening functions as mouth and anus
gastrovascular cavity
There are two variations on the Cnidarian body plan: the sessile ______ and motile ______
polyp, medusa
A _____ adheres to the substrate by the aboral end (the end opposite the mouth) of its body; also extends tentacles waiting for prey (eg., hydras, sea anemones)
polyp, tentacles
A _______ has a bell-shaped body with its mouth on the underside
medusa
Cnidarians have tentacles are armed with _________, unique cells that function in defense and capture of prey
cnidocytes
_________ are specialized organelles within cnidocytes that eject a stinging thread
Nematocysts
Most ________(class of Cnidaria) alternate between polyp and medusa forms
hydrozoans
The medusa is the predominant stage in the life cycle of most __________, and live among the plankton as jellies.
Scyphozoa
Cnidaria class with complex eyes embedded in the fringe of their medusae, also equipped with highly toxic cndocytes.
Cubozoa
Cnidaria class \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ includes the corals and sea anemones, and these cnidarians occur only as polyps Corals often form symbioses with algae and secrete a hard external skeleton of calcium carbonate.
