Q

Q. mesoglea in hydra:

a. non-cellular, can be crossed by interstitial cells
b. non-cellular, cannot be crossed by interstitial cells

A

it is non-cellular which can be crossed by the interstitial cells, during the time of bud formation the interstitial cells or the totipotent cells move from the gastrodermis to the epidermis

A

CG
Cnidoblast cells
Germ cells

25
Q

in hydra the pedal disc is covered by

A

gland cells

26
Q

in hydra the tentacles have maximum number of

A

cnidoblast cell

27
Q

in hydra the origin of cnidoblast is

A

ectodermal

28
Q

what is nematocyst

A

it is the capsular structure around the nematoblast which stores and secrete hypnotoxin which paralyses the prey

29
Q

what are the different types of cnidoblast cells

A

penetrants/stenotels
volvents/desmonemes
holotrichors icorhiza/ streptoline glutinant
atrichous icorhiza/stereoline glutinant

30
Q

smallest nematocyst
largest nematocyst
largest glutinant
smallest glutinant

A

desmonemes/ volvents
stenotels/penetrants
streptoline glutinant/holotrichous ichrohiza
stereoline glutinant/atrichous ichorhiza

31
Q

which is the most complex nematocyst

A

stenotels/penetrants

32
Q

what are the different functions carried out by different nematoblast

A

penetrants/stenotels - secrete hypnotoxin and paralyses the prey
desmonemes/volvnet - coiles the paralysed prey
holotrichous ichorhiza/streptoline glutinant- attaches the prey
atrichous ichorhiza/streoline glutinant - helps in the looping movement (leech like movement)

33
Q

what is the sensory structure of the nematocyst called
what is the opening of the nematocyst called
what is the contractile thread like structure of the nematocyst called

A

cnidocil(because of the presence of its own sensory structure it is also called the independent effector of hydra, because the information gathered from the body wall has no use on it)
operculum
lasso

34
Q

what are the stimuli that stimulates the cnidocil

A

touch or the chemical glutathione (because of which hydra only feed on water flea i:e. daphnia and cyclopes as they secrete glutathione.

35
Q

what is the mechanism for the discharge of cnidoblast

A

it occurs by physical mechanism (hydrostatic pressure)

36
Q

what happens to the cnidoblast cell after it is discharged

A

the cnidoblast cell can only be discharged (used) once, after it is used it is sent to the gastrovascular cavity where it is digested

37
Q

what are the different mode of locomotion in hydra and which is most common, fastest and slowest

A

somersaulting - fastest
walking - cuttle fish like
looping (leech like)- most common
gliding movement (snail like) - slowest

38
Q

what are the stimuli that stimulates the cnidocil

A

touch or the chemical glutathione (because of which hydra only feed on water flea i:e. daphnia and cyclopes as they secrete glutathione.

39
Q

what is the mechanism for the discharge of cnidoblast

A

it occurs by physical mechanism (hydrostatic pressure)

40
Q

what happens to the cnidoblast cell after it is discharged

A

the cnidoblast cell can only be discharged (used) once, after it is used it is sent to the gastrovascular cavity where it is digested

41
Q

what are the different mode of locomotion in hydra and which is most common, fastest and slowest

A

somersaulting - fastest
walking - cuttle fish like
looping (leech like)- most common slowest

42
Q

what is the main function of the interstital cells

A

generation of further type of cell like the cnidoblast cells, germ cells or sex cells and give coelenterata the power of regeneration

43
Q

what is the mode of reproduction in hydra

A

hydra reproduce asexually by the formation of internal bud of gemma in favorable condition and sexually by gamete formation in unfavorable condition

44
Q

how does the body and tentacles regenerate

A

the body of hydra regenerate by morphollaxis while the tentacles regenerate by epimorphosis

45
Q

how is the distribution of testes and ovary in bisexual hydra

A

there are many testis and single ovary

46
Q

what is the origin of the gonads

A

gonads are ectodermal in origin as most of the interstitial cells are ectoderm ally situated

47
Q

what is the location of testis and ovary in hydra

A

testis are located towards the distal end while ovary are located towards the proximal end/aboral end

48
Q

how does the body and tentacles regenerate

A

the body of hydra regenerate by morphollaxis while the tentacles regenerate by epimorphosis

49
Q

what kind of cleavage is found in hydra

A

holoblastic cleavage

50
Q

what kind of development in found in hydra

A

direct development(development without the larval stage)

51
Q

explain the epithelio-muscular cell

A
  1. it is tall and uninucleated with epithelial part and muscular part
  2. the epithelial part has the covering of cuticle on it for protection (located towards the free end)
  3. just below the cuticle are the mucus body and the cuticle forming granules
  4. the muscular part is towards the narrower end located towards the mesoglea
52

A

this is the common larva of all the cniderians specially jellyfish, obelia, sea anemone and sea coral

53
Q

what is the function of myonemes of the epitheliomuscular cells

A

they are responsible for the shortening and bending of the body

54

A

hydra shows movement for nutrition and suitable environment but not for locomotion
