Chapter 33 quiz Flashcards
Sessile organisms with a sac-like body (many pores)
Phylum Porifera (sponges)
5,500+ species
Phylum Porifera (sponges)
Inhabit marine or freshwater
Phylum Porifera (sponges)
Filter feeders (capture food particles suspended in water that pass through body)
Phylum Porifera (sponges)

Phylum Porifera (sponges)
Exhibit cellular level of organization (lack tissues, groups of similar that act as functional units)
Phylum Porifera (sponges)
Cells include choanocytes and amoebocytes
Phylum Porifera (sponges)
consist of a gelatinous noncellular mesohyl layer between two cell layers
Phylum Porifera (sponges)
Sponges are hermaphroditic
Phylum Porifera (sponges)
Most are sequentially hermaphroditic functioning as one sex then the other
Phylum Porifera (sponges)
Asexual reproduction occurs via budding and production of dormant clusters of embryonic cells (gemmules)
Phylum Porifera (sponges)
Sexual reproduction occurs when gametes arise from amoebocytes or choanocytes, female sponge retains eggs, male sponge release sperm through osculum, sperm are drawn into nearby individuals where fertilization occus in the mesohyl
Zygotes develop into flagellated swimming larvae that disperse until they find a suitable subtrate and develop into a sessile adult
Phylum Porifera (sponges)
Classes in Phylum Porifera
- Calcarea: Calcareous Sponges
- Demospongiae: Commercial and Freshwater sponges
- Hexactinellida: Glass sponges
- Homoscleromorpha
Characterized by CaCO3 spicules (3 or 4 points), all 3 body plans represented
Class Calcarea: Calcareous Sponges
Spicules made of silica and spongin, almost all are leuconoid
Class Demospongiae (81% of all Porifera)
Spicules made of silica (with 4 and/or 6 points), Syconoid or Leuconoid
Class Hexactinellida: Glass Sponges
Recently recognized 4th class of sponges, Silica spicules are small or absent
Class Homoscleromorpha
Diploblastic members of group Radiata
Phylum Ctenophora (Comb Jellies)
100 species
Phylum Ctenophora (Comb Jellies)
Exhibit incomplete gut (single opening acts a mouth and anus)
Phylum Ctenophora (Comb Jellies)
Specialized cells colloblasts that secrete sticky substance to capture prey
Phylum Ctenophora (Comb Jellies)
Exhibit bioluminescence
Phylum Ctenophora (Comb Jellies)
10,000 species
Phylum Cnidaria (Cnidarians)
Diploblastic member of group Radiata
Phylum Cnidaria (Cnidarians)
Body plan - sac with a central digestive compartment (gastrovascular cavity)
Phylum Cnidaria (Cnidarians)
Two body plan variations:
- polyp - sessile, attaches to the substrate via the aboral end of its body. Feeding structures extend upward waiting for prey
- medusa - motile, bell-shaped body with mouth on the underside
Phylum Cnidaria (Cnidarians)
All are carnivores that use tentacles to capture prey
Phylum Cnidaria (Cnidarians)
cells include cnidocytes (specialized cells that function in defense and prey capture); organelles consist of nematocysts (organelles within the cnidocytes that eject a stinging thread to subdue prey
Phylum Cnidaria (Cnidarians)
Nervous system and muscles are simple
Phylum Cnidaria (Cnidarians)
Contains nerve net
Phylum Cnidaria (Cnidarians)
Do not actively hunt, but are capable of movement
Phylum Cnidaria (Cnidarians)
Two major clades of Phylum Cnidaria
- Medusozoa - produce a medusa
2. Anthozoa (class anthozoa)
Medusozoa
- Class Hydrozoa (hydrozoans)
- Class Scyphozoa
- Class Cubozoa
Mostly marine, few fresh water
Class Hydrozoa
Life cycle - alternates between polyp and medusa
Class Hydrozoa
Hydra, a freshwater cnidarian, exist only in polyp form and reproduces asexually by budding
Class Hydrozoa
True jellies
Class scyphozoa
all marine
Class Scyphozoa
Polyp stage is reduced - Medusa stage is nominantt
Class Scyphozoa
Medusae are free swimming and relativel large (up to 2m in diameter)
Class Scyphozoa
Box Jellies
Class Cubozoa
All marine
Class Cubozoa
Box shaped medusa is dominant stage
Class Cubozoa
Complex eyes (can see images)
Class Cubozoa
Highly toxic cnidocytes
Class Cubozoa
Sea wasp (Australia) sting can lead to respiratory failure, cardiac arrest and death within minutes
Class Cubozoa
Corals and sea anemones
Class Anthozoa
Corals and sea anemones
Class Anthozoa
All marine
Class Anthozoa
Occur as polyps only
Class Anthozoa
Corals secrete a hard exoskeleton and often form symbioses with algae
Class Anthozoa
Sea anemones are sessile polyps and form symbioses with other species like the clown fish
Class Anthozoa
Three major clades of Bilaterians
- Lophotrochozoans
- Ecdysozoa
- Deuterostomina
Clade identified by molecular data and is thus a morphologically diverse clade with respect to body forms:
- Lophophore - crown of ciliated tentacles that surround the mouth and are used for feeding
- Trochophore - larval stage observed in lophotrochozoan animals (including some annelids and molluscs)
Lophotrochozoans
Phlya Platyhelminthes, Syndermata, Ectoprocta, Brachiopoda, Mollusca, and Annelida
Lophotrochozoan
Flatworms
Phylum Platyhelminthes
Free living members of this phylum live in marine, freshwater, and damp terrestrial habitats
Phylum Platyhelminthes
Many, like flukes and tapeworms are parasitic
Phylum Platyhelminthes
Are triploblastic acoelomates with gastrovascular cavity with only one opening (incomplete gut/no true vascular system)
Phylum Platyhelminthes
