Taxonomy Sheet Flashcards
Phylum Porifera (SPONGES)
- No true tissues
- Different Cell types
- pinacocytes (pinacoderm - incipient tissue)
- archaeocytes - in mesohyl
- choanocytes
Pinacocytes
Phylum Porifera (SPONGES)
The outer layer of sponges formed of flattened cells and form the layer called the pinacoderm.
Do not have a basal lamina.
Archeocytes
Phylum Porifera (SPONGES) Cells that wander through the mesohyl by cytoplasmic streaming. Help sponges develop into more specialized cells.
Choanocytes
Phylum Porifera (SPONGES) Flagellated cell with a collar of protoplasm that line the internal chambers of sponges
Phylum Cnidaria (CORALS, HYDRAS, JELLYFISH)
- Class Hydrozoa
- Class Anthozoa
- Class Cubozoa
- Class Scyphozoa
- Class Staurozoa
Class Hydrozoa
Phylum Cnidaria.
Solitary or colonial.
E.g. hydra, Obelia, Portuguese man o’ war.
Generalized by greater representation of polyp morph in life cycle.
Lack nematocysts and no cells in mesoglea.
Class Anthozoa
Phylum Cnidaria
Contains corals and anemones
Colonial (colony)
Order Actinia
Phylum Cnidaria, Class Anthozoa
True sea-anemones
Order Scleractinia
Phylum Cnidaria, Class Anthozoa
Hard stony corals
Class Cubozoan
Phylum Cnidaria
Box jellies
Class Scyphozoan
Phylum Cnidaria True jellies G: 1. Cnidocytes (with nematocyst) 2. Radial symmetry 3. Tissue-level development - diploblastic a) body two cell layers thick b) epidermis - mesoglea - gastrodermis 4. gastrovascular cavity 5. two body forms: polyp / medusa
Epidermis -> outer layer of skin on the body. Protection and keeps the skin hydrated.
Mesoglea -> gelatinous substance between the endoderm and ectoderm of sponges or cnidarians
Gastrodermis -> the lining membrane of the tract of an invertebrate.
Class Staurozoan
Phylum Cnidaria
Solitary stalked polyps
Nematocyst
Specialized cells in tentacles of jellyfish that have a venomous thread that extends outwards in self-defense or to capture prey.
Cnidocyte
Specialized cells in the phylum Cnidaria that have an explosive organelle called cnidocyst that helps capture prey and self defense.
Phylum Ctenophora
Comb jellies G: 1. Move with cilia - comb plates 2. Bi-radial symmetry 3. Diploblastic 4. Collenchyma 5. Monoecious - sexual reproduction
Monoecious
Male and female reproductive parts on same animal. hermaphrodite.
Collenchyme
In plants, support tissue of living elongated cells with irregular cell walls.
Bilateria
Phylum Xenacoelomorpha (Acoela) Phylum Gnathostomulida Phylum Rotifera Phylum Acanthocephala (probably in Rotifera) Phylum Gastrotricha Phylum Mesozoa Phylum Platyheliminthes
Phylum Xenacoelomorpha (Acoela)
G:
- Some with gastrovascular cavity (many with no gut)
- Monoecious - sexual reproduction
- Radially arranged nerve cords
- Most commensalist or mutualist
commensalist
an association between two organisms in which one benefits and the other derives neither benefit nor harm
