Exam 3 Phylum Porifera, Cnideria, Platyhelminthes, Molluska, Annelida Flashcards
Porifera cell types
Epidermis – outer layer
of cells
• Choanocytes – cells
that create current,
catch food
• Amoebocytes – move
through the gelatinous
middle layer, carry
nutrients
Cnidarians
Jellies, corals, anemones, hydras
Cnidaria symmetry
Radial symmetry
Mouth anus center of body
Cnidaria tissue
Diploblastic
• Ectoderm becomes epidermis
• Endoderm becomes gastrodermis
phylum Platyhelminthes
Flatworms
planarians, tapeworms
• Flattened dorso-ventrally (top to bottom)
• No circulatory system
• No respiratory system
• Gas exchange, waste elimination, nutrient
movement from GVC to cells by diffusion
Class Bivalvia (bivalves)
clams, oysters, mussels, scallops
• All aquatic
• Hinged shell divided into to lateral halves
Class Bivalvia (bivalves)
clams, oysters, mussels, scallops
• All aquatic
• Hinged shell divided into to lateral halves
Class Cephalopods
octopi, squid, chambered nautilus, cuttlefish
Active marine predators
Grasp prey with suckers on tentacles, bite, inject with poison
Siphon
Shoot water out for locomotion
Phylum annelida
Segmented worms
Marine, freshwater, soil
Examples: polycheates, leeches, earthworms
Symmetry
Asymmetrical – Phylum Porifera
Radial Symmetry – Phylum Cnidaria
Bilateral Symmetry – everything else
Digestion
Intracellular – Phylum Porifera
GVC - Cnidaria, Planarians
no digestion - tapeworms
complete digestive tract – everything else
