Chaptern32 — sponges Flashcards
Animal defining traits:
Multicellular eukaryotes
Heterotrophic
structural protein (rather than cell walls)
nervous and muscle tissue
Groups of similar cells that act as a functional unit
Tissues
Characteristics of animal reproduction
mostly sexual
Diploid stage dominate
Sperm and egg cells are produced by meiotic divisions
Succession of cell division with out growth between divisions
Cleavage
Blastula
Result of cleavage
- often in form of a hollow ball of cells
Bastula undergoes ______
Gastrulation
Process that forms a gastrula with different layers of embryonic tissues
Gastrulation
Characteristics of larva:
Sexually immature
Morphologically and behaviorally distinct from adult stage
Process in which larvae become juveniles
Metamorphosis
Unique family of regulatory genes
– control the expression of many other genes that influence morphology
Hox genes
Closest living relatives to modern animals
Choanoflagellates
fossils classified as (or closely related to):
Mollusks
Sponges
Cnidarians
Ediacaran Fossils
Parts arranged on a single axis
Ex: most cnidarians, jellyfish, sea anemone
Radial symmetry
Parts arranged around two axes
Ex: people, owl, lobster
Bilateral symmetry
Characteristics of bilaterians
Bilaterally symmetric form
Complete digestive tract
Digestive system with mouth and anus at opposite ends
Platyhelminthes
Lophotrochozoa
Syndermata
Lophotrochozoa
Ectoprocta
Lophotrochozoa
Brachiopoda
Lophotrochozoa
Annelida
Lophotrochozoa
Mollusca
Lophotrochozoa
Gastrotricha
Lophotrochozoa
Cycliophora

Nemertea
Lophotrochozoa
Loricifera
Ecdysozoa
Porifera
A sponge
Basal animals that lack tissues
Sponges
Central cavity where water is drawn
Spongocoel
Where water flows out of sponges during filter feeding
Osculum
Flagellated collar cells, engulf bacteria and food particles by phagocytosis
(sponge)
Choanocytes
Gelatinous region that separates two layers of calls in sponges
Mesohyl
Totipotent cells within the mesohyl that digest food, transport nutrients and make skeletal fibers
(Sponge)
Amoebocytes
Most sponges are _______ meaning each functions as both male and female
Hermaphrodites
Porifera skeletons are made up of:
Structural protein - collagen
Spongin - special forms of collagen
Spicules - composed of CaCo3 or Si
