Zoology unit 2 Flashcards
etymology for protozoa
first animal
etymology of porifera
pore bearing
etymology of cnidaria
stinging nettle
three germ layers
endoderm, ectoderm, mesoderm
endoderm
digestive and respiratory tissues
ectoderm
skin, brain, and spine
mesoderm
skeleton, heart, reproductive organs
what are the cnidarian germ layers
ectoderm and endoderm
how do cnidarians obtain their food? What are the special structures?
they trap passing food with their tentacles: cnidocytes (cells), nematocyst (tentacle)
what are examples of cnidarians?
jellyfish, coral
how do poriferans obtain food?
filter feeding
what are sponge buds called from asexual reproduction
gemmules
two protozoa locomotion, and example
flagella: euglena
cilia: paramecium
polyp vs medusa forms
polyps are tentacles up, medusa are tentacles down
where are sponges usually found?
ocean
what is the term for cnidarians that move between polyp and medusa phases
alteration of generations
what group of cnidarians are capable of active hunting? which cause the most human deaths?
cubozoans (jellyfish)
What do protozoa do in the environment?
feed organisms, release nutrients
what do protozoa and metazoa have in common?
both motile and have animal characteristics. Protozoa are unicellular, metazoa are multicellular
asconoid body plan
2 cell layers, water filtered through to osculum. generic
synconoid body plan
inner canal filtering system. complex
leuconoid body plan
inner canal system to digestive chamber. most complex. no real spongocoel
cnidarians sensing organ
rhopalia
relationship between coral polyps and algae
coral gives shelter, algae gives energy (PTS)
symmetry of poriferans
asymmetry or radial symmetry
symmetry of cnidaria
asymmetry, radial symmetry mostly
are poriferans motile or sessile as adults?
sessilea
are cnidarians motile or sessile as adults?
polyps are sessile, medusa are motile
hydra coelenteron
basically body cavity
hydra cnidocyte
stinging cells
amoebocyte
curved tube thing
choanocyte
collar cells
epithelial cells sponge
spicules, pinaocytes
porocyte
where food can enter osculum
mesohyl
layer between endoderm and ectoderm
