Lower Simple Invertebrates Flashcards
porifera
What are the characteristics of porifera
- have pores
- example: sponges
- Ectotherm
- Invertebrate
- Asymmetry
- Acoelomate
porifera
how do they eat
- filter feeders
- obtain food and oxygen through holes
- collar cells
- single opening for feeding and excretion
*
porifera
collar cells
filter food particles and microorginsims from the water,then digest them
porifera
Respiration circulation excretion
- Respiration circulation excretion by diffusion
- No tissue
- Have no nerves( no nervous system)
- adults can’t move
* larval stage can move
porifera
How can they reproduce
- Can reproduce sexually by releasing eggs and sperm into water hermaphrodies ( produce both male and female gametes but at different time to avoid self-fertilization)
- can also reproduce asexually by budding
- can regenerate body parts
