Question 22

Ontogenetic torsion

Answer 22

• Torsion is developmental process that changes the relative position of the shell, digestive tract and anus, nerves that lie on both sides of the digestive tract and the mantle cavity containing the gills.
• contraction of asymmetrical foot retractor muscle pulls shell and viscera 90 degrees counterclockwise relative to head region
• moves anus from posterior to the right side of the body

Question 23

Sponge body types

Answer 23

1. Asconoid
2. Syconoid
3. Leuconoid

Question 24

Asconoid (sponge body type)

Answer 24

• simplest body organization
• small and tube shaped to allow water to flow directly across cells so no dead space
• choanocytes are in a large internal chamber the spongocoel
• choanocyte flagella pull water through the pores and extract food particles
• used water is expelled through a large single osculum
• all Asconoids are in class calcispongiae

Question 25

Syconoid (sponge body type)

Answer 25

• resemble asconoids but larger with a thicker more complex body wall
• body wall is folded outwards with choanocytes lined radial canals that empty into spongocoel
• water enters through dermal ostia and move through tiny openings (prosopyles) into the radial canals
• food is ingested by choanocytes and used water is pumped through internal pores called apopyles then outwards via osculum
• spongocoel is lined with epithelial cells rather than choanocytes as in asconoids

Question 26

Leuconoid (sponge body type)

Answer 26

• most complex and largest with more food collecting regions
• these regions have choanocytes lining in small chambers that effectively filter all water present
• clusters of flagellated chambers are filled from incurrent canals and discharge to excurrent canals which lead to osculum
• after food is removed used water is pooled to form an exit stream that leaves through and exit pore at very high velocity
• this high rate of exit flow prevents the sponge from refiltering used water and wastes
• most sponges are leuconoid types

Question 27

Sponge classes

Answer 27

1. Calcispongiae
2. Hexactinellida
3. Demospongiae
4. Homoscleromorpha

Question 28

Spicules

Answer 28

One of the minute calcareous or siliceous skeletal bodies found in sponges, radiolarians, soft corals, and sea cucumbers. (Support structures)

Question 29

Flame cells

Answer 29

A flame cell is cup-shaped with a tuft of flagella extending from the inner face of the cup

Question 30

Platyhelminthes classes

Answer 30

1. Turbellaria
2. Trematoda
3. Monogenea
4. Cestoda

Question 31

Zooxanthellae

Answer 31

dinoflagellates that live in mutualistic association in tissues of certain invertebrates, including sea anemones, horny and stony corals, and clams.

Question 32

Protostome clades

Answer 32

1. Ecdysozoa: posses a cuticle that is molted as their bodies grow
2. Lophotrochozoa: share either a horse shoe shaped feeding structure the lophophore or have unique larval form called the trochophore

Question 33

Acoelomate

Answer 33

Without a coelom, as in flatworms and proboscis worms.

Question 34

Contractile vacuole

Answer 34

A clear fluid-filled cell vacuole in unicellular eukaryotes and a few animals; collects water and releases it to the outside in a cyclical manner, for osmoregulation and some excretion.
