16
Q

What is the cilia called in ctenophora

A

Ctenes

17
Q

Ctenes extend transversely from oral to aboral ends

(true or false)

A

true

18
Q

What direction to the ctenes beat?

A

From aboral end to oral end

19
Q

What direction is the movement?

A

Mouth first

20
Q

WHAT DIRECTION IS THE powerstroke

A

Towards the aboral end.

21
Q

What structures or features coordinate movement of the ctenophora

A

Nerve net and apical sense organ.

(statocyst)

22
Q

The apical sense organ and the nerve net makes up the ?

A

Statocyst

23
Q

What is colloblast?

A

Adhesive cells that capture prey. have adhesive material

24
Q

what allows tentacles to contract?

A

coNTRACTILE FIBRES.

25
Q

whAT IS THE FUNCTION OF TENTACLES IN THE CTENOPHORA?

A

They produces sticky threads when prey come into contact with their colloblast.

26
Q

How does the prey go into the mouth of the ctenophora ?

A

The tentacles wipe the prey along the mouth of the ctenophora for ingestion to begin.

27
Q

What does the mouth of the ctenophora lead to ?

A

Gastrovascular canal

28
Q

How is the waste of the ctenophora eliminated?

A

Through the gastrovascular canal but primarily through the mouth of the ctenophora.

29
Q

There are 3 ways in which ctenophores capture prey.

A
  1. Using tentacles colloblast which then swips prey to the mouth there ingestion occures
  2. Short tentacles? No problem. Ciliated body allows for collecting prey.
  3. Lack tentacles? Feed on their own kind (ctenophores) or medusa.
  4. Some actually feed on cnidaria and take their cnidocytes then encorporates it in their epithelial tissues which is used as defense.
30
Q

What is the defense of the ctenophores ?

A

Some actually feed on cnidaria and take their cnidocytes then encorporates it in their epithelial tissues which is used as defense.

31
Q

Describe the life cycle of ctenophores.

A
  • Holoplanktonic
  • Hermaphrodite
  • Reproduce at a young age (invasive at times).
32
Q

Order: Beroida. Describe shape.

A

can be flat, cylindrical. Long animals.

33
Q

Class: Lobata. Describe morphology.

A

Have extended lobes that are used to capture prey on their surface.
They have short tentacles.

34
Q

Class: Cydrippida. Describe morphology.

A

Oblong or round. Same as Pleurobrancia.

35
Q

Class: Pleurobrancia. Describe morphology.

A

Round or oblong. Same as cydrippida.

36
Q

Example of a ctenophora?

A

Comb jelly and Venus Girdle

37
Q

What causes light cattering?

A

The beating of the eight rows of locomatory cilia.
