Invertebrates 1 Flashcards
1
Q
Phylum Porifera-Sponges
A
- Only type of animal to have cellular organization
- Saclike bodies perforated by many pores
- beating of flagella (choanocytes) produces water currents that flow through pores into central cavity and out the osculum
- sessile filter feeders
- Asexual reproduction by fragmentation or budding
2
Q
Asconoid
A
small, tube-shaped flagellated spongocel
3
Q
Syconoid
A
Tubular body, Flagellated canals
4
Q
Leuconoid
A
Most complex, largest. Large colonial masses. Flagellated Chambers
5
Q
Marine Natural Products
A
- Concerns disciplines of Orgo, biochem, pharmacology, bio, and ecology
- 12,000+ compounds isolated from marine sources
- secondary metabolites
6
Q
Phylum Cnidaria
A
Tubular animals that most often reside in shallow marine waters
polyp and medusa stinging cells:cnidocytes -fluid filled capsule, nematocyst -Two layered body sac -Outer layer:protective epidermis -inner layer:gastrovascular nerve net
7
Q

A
radial
8
Q
Class Scyphozoa
A
Medusa, thick mesogela Float in open sea manubrium w/oral lobes stomach w/ pouches Sense organs = rhopalium (statocyst+ocelli) separate sexes
9
Q

10
Q
Class Hydrozoa
A
- Marine and freshwater
- a colony of polyps enclosed by a hard, chitinous covering
- feeding polyps
- extend far beyond covering
- have nematocysts on tentacles - can have sexual repro
11
Q
Class Anthozoa
A
- Polyp, no medusa
- sea anemonies, hard corals, sea fans
- large gastrovascular cavity w/ septa
- Ciliated groove: siphonoglyph
- Circular and Longitudinal muscles
- Attachment by pedal disc
- Pedal lasceration
- Potent nematocysts/Acontia
- Coral reefs -Hermatypic corals
- Calcareous cups secreted by polyps (Zooanthellae)
12

comb jellies
A
- 8 comb rows called ctehes; covered by long cilia
- 2 long tentacles, colloblasts
- fragile, transparent body
- no nematocysts
- apical sense organ
- voracious appetite
- Bioluminescence
