17
Q

how do sponges respire

A

water sucked in through ostia and back out through osculum via diffusion

18
Q

how do sponges eat

A
  • choanocytes have flagella that beat to move water in current
  • archaeocytes capture particles and digest
19
Q

Phylum Cnidaria

A
  • radially symmetrical
  • true tissues
  • diploblastic
  • two body plans (polyp and medusa)
    -nematocysts
  • asexual and sexual
20
Q

how do cnidarias eat

A

food absorbed through gastrodem layer by diffusion (inner layer of cells), undigested food expelled via mouth

21
Q

phylum Platyhelminhes

A
  • true tissues and organs
  • bilaterally symmetrical
  • triploblastic
  • indirect or direct lifecycles
  • sexual or asexual (hermaphrodite and larvae are asexual stage)
  • many parasitic
  • e.g. tapeworms
  • eyespots
22
Q

phylum nemathelminthes (nematoda/roundworms)

A
  • unsegmented
  • triploblastic
  • pseudocoelomate
  • outer cuticle
  • no organs
  • sexual only (separate sexes)
  • free-living or parasitic
  • complex life cycle (inidrect and direct)
23
Q

life cycle of nematoda

A

Egg
L1 first larval stage
- ecdysis moult
L2 second
- moult
L3 third (m)
L4 Foruth (m)
Adults

24
Q

Phylum Mollusca

A
  • unsegmented
  • triploblastic
  • true coelom
  • definite head
  • muscular foot
  • protective mantle - shell
  • organ systems
  • mouth
  • radulla
25
Q

how do mollusca reproduce

A

asexual and sexual - hermaphrodites

26
Q

platehelminthes classes

A
  1. turbellaria - planarians, free living, eyespot
  2. monogenea - ectoparasitic (aqutic), parasitic, ciliated
  3. Trematoda - flukes, endoparasitic, complex life cycle
  4. cestoda - tapeworms, endoparasitic, complex life,
27
Q

Phylum annelida

A
  • segmented
  • triploblastic
  • coelomate
  • metamersism (same segment repeated)
  • eyespots
  • circulatory system
  • asexual and sexual - hermaphorditic or clitellum (sexes would be seperate)
28
Q

Phylum arthropoda

A
  • segmented
  • triploblastic
  • tagmatisation - head, thorax, abdomen
  • true coelom
  • appendages jointed
  • exoskeleton of chitin
  • metamorphosis
  • specialised mouthparts
  • no cilia
  • sexual or asexual (larvae)
29
Q

how do arthropoda respire

A

body surface - tubes of air, or lungs

30
Q

metamorphosis options

A
  1. ametabola = none (egg - young - adult)
  2. hemimetabola = incomplete (egg - nymph - moults - winged adults) dragonfly
  3. paurometabola = gradual (egg - many nymphs - adult winged) E.g. cockroach
  4. holomeabola = complete
    (egg - larvae - pupa - adult)
31
Q

what is metamorphosis

A

Separation of growth, differentiation and reproduction stage = efficiency

32
Q

radial - completely symmetrical from all planes
bilateral - divisable by two symmetricl halves

why is triploblastic better

A

allows specialised organs and systems

38
