LAB: Animal Diversity 1 Flashcards
- This phyla contains 9000 species of sponges
- all are aquatic and most are marine
- multicellular
- reproduction sexual (hermaphrodite), asexual (budding/fragmentation)
- sac body plan
- asymmetrical or radial symmetrical
Phylum porifera
Adult forms are sessile (stationary)***, but the larva do not resemble the adults as they are motile
Phylum porifera
What is the structure of simple sponges (porifera)?
Spongocoel- large central cavity
Osculum-Single large opening
Pores-many small openings in chamber walls
Porifera are classified according to type of ___________
What are the types?
Spicule (little spike)
No spicule (bath sponges)-fibers of tough protein called spongin
sharp spicules-calcium carbonate, or silica (glass sponges)
Sponges are _____________ feeders, capturing food particles suspended in the water that passes through.
Suspension
How is suspension feeding done in porifera?
Water is drawn through pores into a cavity called the ___________, and out through an opening called the___________.
Spongoceal
Osculum
Flagellated color cells in porifera are called? What is their function?
Choanocytes…
- generate a water current through the sponge and move water through the pores
- food particles in water are trapped by collar
- food is incorporated into a food vacuole and passed to amoeboid cells
Type of cells in porifera where digestion of food occurs and produces spicules
Amoeboid cells
Granita?
-
-10,000 species and all are aquatic(most marine)
-Radially symmetrical
-diploblastic (tissue)
-sac body plan
Includes hydra, jellyfish, sea anemones, corals
Phylum Cnidaria
What are the two distinct body forms of Cnidaria?
Polyp (Sea anemone)
And free-floating medusa (jellyfish)
Cnidocytes?
(Stinging cells) tentacles with nematocysts
Cnidarians are carnivores that use tentacles to capture prey
The tentacles are armed with ____________, unique cells that function in defense and capture of prey.
Cnidocytes
Capsules within cnidocytes
- long, spirally quail hollow thread to trap prey
- spines to penetrate and inject venom into prey
Released when trigger of cnidocyte is touched
Nematocysts
Stationery, asexual reproduction
Ex: hydra, sea anemones
Polyp
Motile, sexual reproduction
Ex: free-swimming jellies
Medusa
Freshwater Cnidaria Polyp * extracellular digestion Reproduces sexually and asexually Tissue level organization Outer- epidermis (ectoderm) Inner- gastrodermis (endoderm) Middle- nonliving gelatinous mesoglea
Hydra
Floating colony of polymorphic polyps
Physalia (Portuguese man-of-war)
