Chapter 33-Noncoelomate and Pseudocoelomate Invertebrates Flashcards
What is in phyla porifera
sponges
What are parazoa
Simple animals lacking tissues, most lack a definite symmetry (asymmetric)
Larval sponges
Free swimming motile
Adult sponges
remain attached-sessile
How does water enter and exit a sponge
enters through ostia and exits osculum
What is the mesohyl (middle layer) of a sponge made of
- spicules-needles of calcium carbonate or silica
- spongin-reinforcing tough protein fibers
What are choanocyte
they engulf and digest food from passing water
-collar cells-move water through sponge; absorb nutrients
How do sponges asexually reproduce
fragmentation-piece breaks off and attaches elsewhere to form new sponge
Describe sexual reproduction in a a sponge
Hermaphrodite
- choanocytes transform into sperm
- captured and passed to egg cell in mesohyl
- development can occur in mother or in open water
What layer of a sponge provides protection
Mesohyl
What are Eumetazoa
All animals except sponges-distinct tissues
what type of symmetry do Cnidaria exhibit
Radial symmetry
What are organisms called with only 2 germ layers
diploblastic
What are nematocysts
stinging cells found on tentacles of cnidarians
What are the 2 forms of Cnidarians
Polyps: cylindrical and sessile
Medusa: umbrella-shaped and motile
what does the gastrovascular cavity do for the cnidarian
gives it a hydrostatic skeleton to support itself with
What are Anthozoans
Cnidaria
sea anemones, corals
-all polyps
What are Cubozoa
Cnidarians
-box jellies, strong swimmers, fatal stingers
What are hydrozoa
Cnidarians
- hydra, portuguese man of war
- both polyp and medusa forms, has freshwater members
What are Syphozoa
Cnidarians
- Jellyfish
- ring of muscle allows for rhythmic contractions for propulsion
What are staurozoa
Star jellies
-resembles a medusa in most ways but is attached to substrate
Describe Phylum Ctenophora
Comb jellies
-radial symmetry
8 rows of fused cilia that beat in coordination
-bioluminescent
What do Ctenophores use to capture prey
2 tentacles covered with Colloblasts
-discharge strong adhesive used to capture prey
How are bilaterians classified
by their coelom
- acoelomates
- pseudocoelomates
- coelomates
