Q

Antagonistic muscles are necessary because…

A

Muscle can only shorten. An antagonist is needed to return them to their original shape.

Q

What property of water makes it useful as part of a hydrostatic skeleton?

A

When pressure is applied to a water filled space, it can not be compressed but can transfer the pressure to another part of the body.

16
Q

T/F: Excess carbohydrates are converted into nitrogenous waste.

A

False

17
Q

What is the name of the nitrogenous waste in cnidarians?

A

ammonia

18
Q

Nitrogenous waste must be excreted from the body. How do cnidarians get nitrogenous waste out of their body?

A

It diffuses out of each individual cell into the surrounding water.

19
Q

Which of the following happens to the zooxanthellae and coral relationship when the temperature of the surrounding water becomes too hot?

A

The zooxanthellae are expelled from the coral.

20
Q

How does the appearance of coral change when the temperature of the surrounding water becomes too hot?

A

The coral appear white.

21
Q

What is a Polyp?

A

a cycliner-like body with the mouth pointing up and tentacles waving above. Ex. Anemone

22
Q

What is a medusa?

A

A bell-shaped body with the mouth pointing down and the tentacles hanging below. Ex. Jelly fish

23
Q

What is the internal space in an adult anemone?

A

The gastrovascular cavity

24
Q

What type of nervous system do cnidarians have?

A

A diffuse, non-centralized nervous system. They lack a true brain and instead have a system of separate , individual neurons located throughout the body

25
Q

What are the requirements of a hydrostatic skeleton?

A
  1. an enclosed cavity containing a substance (usually water) that cannot be compressed
  2. the volume of a liquid in the cavity should remain constant while pressure is being applied, therefore the compartment must remain closed
    3) the cavity is located between a set of muscles that must act opposite to one another; these are called antagonistic muscles
    4) nerve cells to stimulate the muscles to contract (shorten)
    5) the cavity must be surrounded by a flexible outer body membrane so that the outer body wall can be deformed (shape changed)
26
Q

What is a nematocyst?

A

A barbed, venomous, coiled thread-like structure within the cells of the body wall in a cnidarian

27
Q

Where do coral get their color from?

A

Tiny algae inside of them called zooxanthellae. Ex. mustualistic symbiotic relationship

28
Q

What germ layer of the embryo did the Epidermis come from?

A

Ectoderm

29
Q

What layer is the epidermis?

A

Outer
