1
Q

Do Cnidarians have true tissue? What are some features of their tissue (2)?

A

They do. They have a basal lamina and cells have intracellular junctions.

Q

What are the cell layers of jellyfish?

A

Outer epidermis, inner gastrodermis.

In between is the mesoglea, which isn’t organised, ans is jelly-like.

Q

How does a blastula form a blastocoele?

A

During gastrulation, it invaginates to form a blastocoele in the middle, and is the endoderm. The outer layeris the ectoderm.

113
Q

What happens in coral bleaching?

A

Symbiosis lost.

114
Q

What are some causes of coral bleaching (6)?

A
  • Rising sea temperatures
  • Increased UV radiation
  • Elevated CO2 levels - acidifies the water
  • Reduced salinity
  • Pollution
  • Diseases
115
Q

What happens in coral bleaching exactly?

A

Algae migrate out of the gastrodermis, and expelled through the mouth, hence the term bleached, as colour is lost.

116
Q

Are the algae actively expelled by the coral?

A

Yes.

117
Q

Does the algae population is a given coral change?

A

Yes, the coral actively manages its algae population annually.
Old senescent algae are expelled so they can pick up healthier ones.

118
Q

What is the hypothesis behind why algae are expelled in coral bleaching?

A

They are expelled by the coral because the algae are stressed, so they can pick up new symbiotes, selectively that are better.

119
Q

If coral actively expel their algae to pick up healthier ones, why do they still get bleached?

A

Most of the algae are expelled, and 90% of their nutrition comes from them, so they die quickly due to malnutrition.

120
Q

What can be said of the class staurozoa planula?

A

It doesnt swim.

121
Q

What are the tentacles of staurozoa like?

A

Their tentacles also have tentacles on them, and looks like a star.

A

Exclusively polyp.

What is another phylum that exhibits radial symmetry?

A

Ctenophore.

Q

Do ctenophores have nematocysts?

A

No.
