Invertebrates Flashcards
Parazoa
Porifera (sponges)
Porifera (sponges)
sequential hermaphroditism gametes from choanocytes or ameobocytes eggs stay in mesohyl sperm released from sponge and enter other sponge via pores larvae are free swimming
Ctenophora
Movement by cilia A few mm to 1.5 m Found in marine systems comb jellies Radial
Cnidarian
Radial
Diploblastic
Polyp and medusa phase
Venomous
Clades of Cnidaria
Hydrozoa, Scyphozoans, Cubozoans, Anthozoans
Hydrozoans
Polyp stage more conspicuous
Fresh water and marine habitats
Can reproduce by budding
Portuguese Man o’ war
Scyphozoans
Medusa is obvious stage
Pelagic species lack a polyp stage
most are jellies
Cubozoans
box shaped medusa
complex eyes
highly toxic cnidocytes
Anthozoans
medusa stage absent
most are sessile
Sea anemones and coral
Eumetazoa contains
radial dibloblasts -Cnidaria -Ctenophora Bilateral (triploblasts) -Protostomes *Platyzoa *Lophotrochozoa *Ecdysozoa -Deuterostomes *Echinodermata *Chordata
Clade Platyzoa
small bilateral animals no respiration system no circulation system some acoelomates some pseudocoelomates free living and parasitic
Phylum Platyheminthes
Flatworms
Marine, freshwater, and damp terrestrial
Triploblastic acoelomates
water and gas exchange by diffusion
Phylum Platyheminthes contains the clades:
Turbellarians, Monogeneans and trematodes
Turbellarians
Free living and found in marine habitats
Planarians
reproduce asexually by fission
Hermaphrodites
Monogeneans
parasites both in and on hosts
Parasitic on fish
Trematodes
parasitic
sexual and asexual stages
some reproduce asexually through fission
hermaphrodites - mates fertilize eachother
Phylum Rotifera
fresh water, marine and damp terrestrial habitats
Alimentary canal separates mouth and anus
reproduce by parthenogenesis (asexual reproduction)
Bdelloidea
In phylum rotifera
Asexual
no males, 40 MYA
incorporates DNA from environment
Clade Lophotrochozoa
Highly diverse body forms
multiple phyla
some develop lophophore for feeding, some trochophore larval stage, some neither
Platyzoa contains
Rotifera and Platyhelminthes
Lophotrochozoa contains
Brachiopoda, Bryozoa, Annelida, Mollusca
Brachiopoda
“lamp shells”
Resemble clams
Shells are dorsal/ventral not lateral like mollusks
Marine
Byrozoa
colonial animals
encased in exoskeletons
Reef builders
Marine and freshwater
Annelida
segmented worms
marine, freshwater, and damp terrestrial
coelomates
Annelida contains
oligochaete, Polychaeta, Hirundinea
