Q

encircle osculum and
flagellated chambers, can open and close oscula

A

myocytes

24
Q

tubular cells

A

porocytes

25
Q

choanocytes

A

(collar cells) in
choanocyte layer
punnping and feeding, can transform to sperm

26
Q

hexactinellids unique features

A

main part of their body becomes syncytial

27
Q

syncytium

A

-fused multinucleate mass of cystoplasm in common cell membrane
-allows electrical signals to travel
-analogous to nervous system of other animals

28
Q

skeletal support in sponges

A

-collagen fibres:
are either loosely dispersed in the mesohyl
-spongin: sturdy network of large strands
-spicules

29
Q

spongin skeletons occur only in some
what sponges only have spongin in they skeleton

A

demospongiae
bath sponges

30
Q

what do spicules consist of?

A

calcium carbonate or silicon

31
Q

Monorhaphis chuni

A

very long spicule running through centre of its body

32
Q

feeding in sponges

A

-the choanocytes capture food like choanoflagellates
-phagocytized
-capture very tiny particles
-they form mutualisms or can be predatory

33
Q

what happens w sponge mutualism

A

-many sponges harbour photosynthetic
endosymbionts
-sponge privide nitrogen symbionts provide carrbohydrates

34
Q

sponge sneezing

A

-special non-mobile cilia on
osculum lining sense when the water flow is reduced
-myocytes contract and “sneeze” water and blockage out

35
Q

what happens if osculum removed?

A

no sneeze, why it is thought as analogous to sense organ

36
Q

how do most sponges reproduce?

A

they are sequentially hermaphroditic
-either protandry or protogyny

37
Q

protogyny

A

female first and then male

38
Q

protandry

A

male first and female later

39
Q

lecithotrophy

A

larva swims only briefly before settlement, getting all the
food it needs from its yolk supply

40
Q

brooding species

A

-fertulizatiin internal in the female sponge
-larvae are brooded in the female until they to swim via cilia or flagella

41
Q

broadcast spawning species fertilization

A

occurs in
the water

42
Q

sexual reproduction in sponges
andwhat transforms to the sperm and eggs

A

-choanocytes transform into
sperm (collar dropped) and eggs
-sometimes eggs and sperms released broadcast spawning or free spawning
-sometimes eggs retained and sperm broadcasted

43
Q

how many different types of embryogenesis

A

many
however, at
least briefly, more than
one layer of cells is
present

44
Q

do sponges reproduce asexually

A

most species also
have asexual
reproduction
-budding
and/or fragmentation

45
Q

Repair and recognition in Porifera

A

-certain sponges are able to
reconstitute their bodies after cells are separated
-cell-cell recognition theory inspired

46
Q

Freshwater sponges unique features

A

special resistant
structures called gemmules that can
withstand freezing and drought

47
Q

Economic uses for sponges

A

-bath sponge industry
-bioprospecting for pharmaceutical chemicals because of their antimicrobial, antiviral chemical defences

48
Q

Jurassic Period glass sponges

A

glass sponge reefs were once
thought to have disappeared

49
Q

class calcarea

A

the calcareous sponges

50
Q

Class Hexactinellida

A

glass sponges

51
Q

Class Demospongiae

A

most species-rich
only class that includes freshwater spp.

52

A

53
Q

skeleton structure

A

calcareous spicules with 3 rays, no spongin

54
Q

Demospongiae skeleton structure
