differentiated for various
functions
– Sessile although embryo are
free-swimming
– Filter feeder, draws water
through tiny pores
-no true tissue
phylum porifera
what does sessile mean?
not moving
what is the basis of sponge classification?
composition (calcium vs silica) and shape
outer layer of cells of sponges are called? they are also not tissue, but have specialized cells.
pinacoderm
flagellated collar cells that keep the current flowing via beating of flagella
choanocytes
what functions do pinacocytes and archeocytes preform?
facilitate feeding
small particles are taken into choanocytes by ______ and protein molecules may be taken in by _____ in sponges
phagocytosis; pinocytosis
what are the three types of sponge bodies from most simple to most complex?
asconoids, synconiods, and leuconoids
this body part pulls water through the pores and extracts food particles in sponges?
choanocytes
what is an osculum?
an opening in a sponge that releases water
this sponge body types is folded outwards with radial canals, water enters through tiny openings called prosopyles, and contains internal pores called apopyles; spongocoel instead of choanocytes
syconoids
this sponge body uses choanoctyes and has clusters of flagellated chambers which are filled from incurrent canals and discharge to excurrent canals
leuconoids
the connective “tissue” of sponges found in fibrils, skeletal elements, and amoeboid cells
mesohyl or mesenchyme
amoeboid cells that move about in the mesohyl with many functions
archaeocytes
sclerocytes secrete
spiculess
spongocytes secrete
spongin
collencytes secrete
fabrilliar collagen
lophocytes secrete
large amounts of collagen
thin, flat, epithelial-like cells that cover the exterior and interior surfaces of sponges almost like real tissues
pinacocytes
Complete reorganization of the
structure and function of
participating cells or bits of
tissue occurs in
somatic embryogenesis
what are two means of asexual reproduction in sponges?
fragmentation and bud formation
what is a gemmule?
an external bud formation that can survive harsh environmental conditions; live cells within them escape through micropyles and develop into new sponges
monoecious means
both male and female sex cells in one body
zygote is retained within parent and provided with nourishment until it is released as ciliated larva; most sponges are this
viviparous
sponges release both sperm and oocytes into water for external fertilization
oviparous
The free-swimming larva of most sponges is a solid-bodied ____
parenchymula
The outwardly directed flagellated cells of the parenchymula become
choanocytes
in sponge sexual reproduction, ____- become choanozytes, archaeocytes, and collencytes while ____ give rise to pinacoderm and sclerocytes
micromeres; macromeres
which class of porifera is defined by:
Calcareous sponges with spicules
of calcium carbonate
– Spicules are straight (monaxons)
or have three or four rays
– Most are small with tubular or
vase shapes
– Many are drab in color, but some
are bright yellow, green, red, or
lavender
– Leucosolenia (Scypha) and Sycon
(Grantia) are marine shallow-
water
– Asconoid, syconoid and leuconoid body forms
class calcarea
which class of porifera is defined by:
Glass sponges with six-rayed spicules of
silica bound together to form network
– Deep-sea; vase or funnel shaped bodies
attached by stalks of root spicules onto the
substrate (radial symmetry in some)
– Have syncytial cell structure
class hexactinellida
bilayered, sheet-like
and tubular with collagenous mesohyl cells
Trabecular reticulum
unusual cells that make
flagellated outgrowths called collar bodies
whose flagella beat to move
choanoblasts
which class of porifera is defined by:
Contains 95% of living sponge species include most large sponges
– Spicules are siliceous but not six rayed and may be absent or bound together by spongin
– Leuconoid body form for all species
– All marine except for Spongillidae, the freshwater sponges
– Marine demosponges are highly varied in color and shape, with some growing to several meters in diameter.
class demospongiae
which class of porifera is defined by:
-Mostly marine with a variety of colors but live in cryptic habitats
– Generally found near shore but
have deep water forms
– true
basement membrane
(extracellular matrix; ECM) under pinacoderm
– Also have adherens cell
junctions that form true tissues unlike other sponges
– Divided into two clades based
on absence or presence of
spicules
class homoschleromorpha
what trait of sponges is homologous to other animals?
proteins for cell adhesion and cell-signaling
what traits do sponges have in common with other animals?
Proteins for cell adhesion and cell-signaling are homologous to other animals
– Some sponges have basement membrane with collagen and adherens
junctions with cadherin molecules that connect epithelial cells
– Sponge have blastula and some form gastrula stages like many animals
what is the single species of phylum placozoa?
Trichoplax adhaerens
what are some traits of the Trichoplax adhaerens?
- Tiny (2-3 mm) marine form that is plate-like and
has no symmetry - No major organs, no muscular or nervous system
- Lacks basal lamina and ECM but has genes for it
- Body has dorsal epithelium to cover cells and
have thick ventral epithelium of monociliated
cells and nonciliated gland cells - Contain multinucleated fibrous “cells” within a
contractile syncytium - Placozoans glides over food, secretes digestive
enzymes, and absorb nutrients - Divide asexually and produce “swarmer” stages
by budding. - No sexual stages have been seen but have
isolated eggs in the laboratory - Considered diploblastic
cnidocytes that
contain a specialized stinging organelle
nematocyst
are cnidarians typically sessile (free-floating)
yes
