27
Q

Are cnidarians herbivores or carnivores?

A

Carnivores in which they use their tentacles to capture prey

28
Q

What are cnidocytes?

A

Cells that function in defense and capture prey

32
Q

What are examples of anthozoans?

A
  • sea anemones
  • star corals
33
Q

What is special about most hydrozoans?

A

Can alternate b/w polyp and medusa forms

34
Q

What is significant about hydra?

A

A freshwater cnidarian that exists only in polyp form and reproduces asexually via budding

35
Q

What is the predominate life cycle stage of the scyphozoans and cubozoans?

A
  • Medusa
36
Q

What are 2 significant things of cubozoans?

A

  • They contain highly toxic cnidocytes
37
Q

What does anthozoans only occur as?

A

As polyps

38
Q

What does corals secrete?

Secrete a hard exoskeleton (external skeleton)

  • Forms symbioses with algae
39
Q

What are bilaterian animals?

A

40
Q

What is the triploblastic development?

A

50
Q

What are the 2 important groups of parasitic rhabditophorans?

A
  • Trematodes: Parasitize humans and spends parts of their lives in snail hosts
  • Tapeworms: Parasites of vertebrates and lack digestive system
51
Q

What are rotifers?

A

Tiny animals that inhabit fresh water, the ocean, and damp soil

  • Apart of phylum Rotifera
52
Q

What is an alimentary canal?

A

digestive tube with a separate mouth and anus that lies within a fluid-filled pseudocoelom found in rotifers

53
Q

What is parthenogenesis?

A

Reproductive process of Rotifers in which females produce offspring from unfertilized eggs

54
Q

What are ectoprocts?

A

Sessile colonial animals that superficially resemble plants; also called bryozoans

57
Q

What do brachiopods resemble?

A

Resembles clams and other hinge-shelled molluscs, but the two halves of the shell are dorsal and ventral rather than lateral as in clams

58
Q

What are the 3 main parts of molluscs?

A
  • muscular foot
  • visceral mass
  • mantle

most also have
- water filled mantle cavity
- radula

59

What are the 4 major classes of molluscs?

A
  • Polyplacophora (chitons)
  • Gastropoda (snails and slugs)
  • Bivalvia (clams, oysters)
  • Cephalopoda (squids, octopuses)
