Exam #2 Flashcards
General Characteristics of Kingdom Animalia
Eukaryotic; heterotrophic; glycogen; sexual reproduction; no cell wall
Parazoa (sponges) Eumetazoa (all others)
2 subkingdoms of Kingdom Animalia
No organ systems; sac body plan; asymmetrical; hermaphroditic; filter feeders (choanocytes/amoebocytes); sexual/asexual (budding); ciliated larvae
Phylum Porifera
Choanocytes (collar cells)
Cells that have flagella that drive water past cell
Amoebocytes
Cells that wander the mesophyl (jelly-layer between epidermal cells & choanocytes); stores & distributes food from choanocytes
Classification of sponges is based on ________ (produced by amoebocytes)
Spicules
Class Calcarea
Class Hexactinellida
Class Demospongiae
Calcium carbonate spicules
Silica spicules
Spongin spicules
Definte tissues; radial symmetry; gastrovascular cavity; extracellular digestion; alternate betweeen polyp (sessile) and medusa (free swimming) stage
Phylum Cnidaria
Jellylike layer between epidermis & gastrodermis
Mesoglea (Cnidaria)
Noncentralized arrangement of neurons in Cnidaria
Nerve Nets
Specialized cells unique to phylum Cnidaria that contain a whip-like stinging barb called _________
Cnidocytes; nematocyst
Only exists as a polyp and is solitary
Hydra (Class Hydrozoa)
Polyp is main stage; medusa for sexual reproduction
Class Hydrozoa
Hydrozoan larva
Planula
True jellyfish; medusa dominant
Class Scyphozoa
Box jellies & sea wasps; sea turtles are predators
Class Cubozoa
One of the most deadliest organisms; sea wasp
Chironex fleckeri (Class Cubuzoa)
Polyp only stage; corals & sea anemones; zooxanthellae
Class Anthozoa
Comb jellies; radial symmetry; cilia for locomotion
Phylum Ctenophora
Blastophore = mouth; determinate/spiral cleavage; mesoderm arises from endoderm; coelom arises from split in solid mesoderm
Protostomes
