Q

“<b>What are the 3 types of asexual repoduction in Porifera?</b>”

A

“<b><u>Asexual 3 types:</u></b><br></br>Budding - new growth detaches & attaches to new surface<br></br>Fragmentation & Regeneration - regrows missing parts, all pieces grow on new surface<br></br>Gemmules - food balls kind of like spores that survive harsh conditions, break open when conditions improve<br></br>”

18
Q

“<b>3 Classes of Sponges?</b>”

A

“<b>Class Calcarea:</b><br></br> calcium carbonate spicules<br></br> 1,4,6, rays<br></br> no spongin<br></br><img></img><br></br><br></br><b>Class Demospongia:</b><br></br> 1, 3, 4 ray<br></br> most abundant<br></br> lueconoid<br></br> have spongin and spicules<br></br><img></img><br></br><br></br><b>Class Hexactinellida</b> (Glass sponges)<br></br> intricate silica spicules<br></br> 6 rays<br></br><img></img><br></br>”

19
Q

“<b>Describe Monaxons, triaxons and tetraxons?</b>”

A

They are all spicules<br></br><br></br>Monaxons - one axis<br></br>Triaxons - 6 axis<br></br>Tetraxons - 4 axis

20
Q

“<b>Pinacocytes</b>”

A

make up the epidermis, line exterior of spong

21
Q

“<b>Choanocyte</b>”

A

cell of flaggelated finger like projectors, food trapped in mucous collar for filter feeding

22
Q

“<b>What does the endoderm do in Cnidaria?<br></br></b><img></img>”

A

“Digestion<br></br><br></br>Gives rise to gastrodermis (digestion) and gland cells (secrete enzymes)”

23
Q

“<b>What is the mesoglea?<br></br></b><img></img>”

A

“Sort of like a third germ layer but it’s not true tissue<br></br>functions for flotation and structure<br></br>jelly like”

24
Q

“<b>How do Porifera eat?</b>”

A

“Water/nutrients enter the spongocoel (large central cavity)from pores in the body wall called os<b>tia</b> and is excreted via a large opening at the top called the<b>osculum</b>”

25
Q

“<b>What are 3 cell types of Porifera?</b>”

A

“Choanocyte:flaggelated, food trapped in mucous collar for filter feeding<br></br>Ambeobocyte: excretion, can become gametes, repoduction, digest food<br></br>Pinacocytes:make up the epidermis, line exterior of sponge”

26
Q

“<b>Do Porifera have have organs?</b>”

A

No<br></br><br></br>They carry out all life processes w/o true tissues (so no organ) cells act as organs

27
Q

“<b>Asconoid canals have many chambers. True or False?</b>”

A

False<br></br><br></br>no thickness/folds (limits feeding)<br></br>no flagellated chambers

28
Q

“<b>The lack of folds in Ascenoid canals limits feeding, True or False?</b>”

A

True - less folds = less surface area, meaning less opportunities
