What is unique about Parazoa?
They lack true tissues
What phylum do parazoa belong to?
Phylum Porifera
What is the other member that Parazo belong to?
Placozoa
What dose the root word -plac- mean?
Flat
until recntly the Phylum Placozoa only had one spp. what was it?
Trichoplax ashaerens
How did the trichoplax ashaeren move around and eat?
It moved around through the use of cilia
and externally digested its food
What dose the root word Por mean?

To bear
What is the most well known member of the phylum Proifera?
Sponges
What is the mode of transport for Phylum Proifera?
They are sissile
What is the morphology of Proifera?
Their structure comes from spicules that are calcarious or silicious
what is Spongin?
A tough collagen-protien network for support in Proifera
What are the two main types of cell within Proifera?
They can be amoebocytes
or
Choanocytes
What is the defining feature of Choanocytes?
They have one or more large openings called osculum
What dose the root word -osculum- mean?
little mouth
What is mesohyl?
A gelatinous acellular layer between the outer skin and the choanocyte layer in Proifera
Can a acelluar substance be a tissue?
No
How do the vast majority of Proifera feed?
Through suspension feeding
What happens to the food particles once they enter the Porifera?
It becomes phagocytosed
do Porifera have sexes?
They have seperate sexes. although some are Hermaphroditic.
What is a simultaneous hermaphrodite?
An animal that is both sexes as once
What is a sequential hermaphrodite?
An animal that starts out as once sex than changes to another
Within Porifera what happens to the zyote?
It is retained until it develops into a ciliated larva
what happens once the Porifera has ciliated cells?
It reabsorbs them and grows a flagella
Where do most of the mutualist Porifera live?
In the photic zone
What are glass sponges?
Long living sponges that form reefs
What are the two phylum of Radiata?
Cnidaria and Ctenophora
What is unique about both Cnidaria and Ctenophora?
They have true differentiated tissues

no
What is the layout of the polyp Cnidaria?
Oral end is outward and aboral end is attached to substrate
What dose the root word -ab- mean?

has all oral ends facing downwards
What are the two different types of Cnidaria?
Polyp and Medusa

Class Hydrozoa
What is the most well known Hydrozoa?
freshwater Hydra
What is interesting about the life cycle of Cnidaria?
They can alternate between sexual and asexual forms
What form do members of the Class Scyphoza spend most of their life as?
Medusa
What dose the key word -scyph- mean?
cup
How do Scyphoza swim?
By contracting a network of fibers
What is cool about the Class Cubozoa (part of Cnidaria)
They have eyes and have extermly toxic nematocysts
What is interesting about the class Anthozoa?
They have no medusa stage and only live as a polyp
What is the most well knwon Anthozoa?
sea anemones and corals
True or false:
All Cnidaria are predatory?
true
What is the name of the algae that live witin Cnidaria?
Zooxanthellae
What are the most well known Ctenophora?
comb jellyfish
they are all marine
How to Ctenophora move around?
They move by flapping a bunch of cilia arranged in bands
What dose the root word -cten- mean?
comb
Do Ctenophora have hox genes?
nope
What is interesting about Ctenophora?
They are the largest animals to move with only cilia
They have only two layers of tissue and a layer of mesogloea
Do Ctenophora have a mouth and a anus?
no, only a mouth
How do Ctenophora feed?
They feed through using tentacle covered in colloblasts
What dose the root word -collo- mean?
glue
