24
Where does water flow through in Porifera (sponges)?
Flows through incurrent pores and out through osculum Porifera
25
What do collar cells contain and what is its purpose?
Collar cells contain flagellum, beats to produce a current allowing water to flow through sponge. Porifera
26
What is mesoglea?
Non-living jelly like material containing amoeboid like cells that engulf food. In addition they divide sex cells. (Amoeboid like cells release water along with sperm to fertilize) Porifera
27
What are spicules?
Crystals of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3), provide support (skeleton) or can be made from spongin providing flexibility. Porifera
28
What does it mean when sponges are sessile?
Food has to come to the sponge Porifera
29
Are scypha (sponges) phototrophic or heterotrophic?
Heterotrophic (lack photosynthetic material) Porifera
30
How do scypha/sponges obtain food?
Collar cells beat, draw water in containing small animals Collar cells capture food by sticky substance on flagella, ingeset by endocytosis Food passes from collar cells to other parts of sponge via amoeboid cells (mesenchyme cells) Porifera
31
What does endocytosis mean?
Bring something in to engulf Endo - bring something in Cytosis - engulf Porifera
32
Describe the sexual reproduction of scypha/sponges.
Mesoglea cells differentiate into eggs and sperm (could be the same or different individuals) SPerm and egg unite to form flagellated larva which swims to new area; settles to form a new individual Porifera
33
How do scypha/sponges reproduce asexually?
Spore formation or fragmentation to form a new individual. Porifera
34
Describe the habitat of Porifera.
Mostly marine (some fresh water) Deep coastal Needs clean water, sensitive to pollution (clogs incurrent pores) Porifera
35
What is the ecological significance of Porifera/sponges?
Bath sponge industry Generally not food for other animals Porifera
36
What are some characteristics of Cnidarians?
``` 10,000 species Radial symmetry Contains Nematocysts (stinging cells) 2 forms: - Free swimming - Medusa - Stationary (Sessile) - Polyn Nervous System, Muscular Fibres Gastrovascular Cavity - Open gut (bag within bag) Body wall has 3 distinct layers Tissue Level of organization Do not contain excretory system Do have nerve system - called a nerve net ``` Cnidarians
37
Where do Cnidarians reside?
Marine coastal waters, some fresh Cnidarians
38
Describe the methods of nutrition by Polyn/Sessile Cnidarians.
Waits for food to pass by, as food brushes by tentacles nematocyst fired (touch) Nematocyst contains poison, causes paralysis Tentacles wrap around food drawing it into mouth Cnidarians
39
Describe the means of nutrition by Medusa Cnidarians.
Actively capture prey Same processes as Polyp - Food brushes by tentacles, nematocyst fired (contains poison causing paralysis), tentacles wrap around food, draw into mouth Cnidarians
40
How could poly forms of Cnidarians photosynthesize?
Contain zooanthellae (green algae) in the body wall, produce sugar and O2 - Symbiotic relationship with Cnidarian This is rare Cnidarians
41
How does digestion occur for Cnidarians?
In gastrovascular cavity by secretion of enzymes by gland cells, food engulfed by pseudopods Food eliminated through mouth by currents set up flagellated cells in gastrovascular cavity Cnidarians
42
Describe the respiration and excretion of Cnidarians.
Occurs by diffusion across cell walls Cnidarians
43
Describe both asexual and sexual reproduction for Cnidarians
Asexual - budding or fragmentation Sexual: - release of eggs and sperm into water by separate sexes - hermaphrodite: both eggs and sperm on same individual (cross fertilization) Cnidarians
44
What are some characteristics of Platyhelminthes?
``` Bilateral symmetry Dorsal-Ventral flattened Cephalization (brain formation) No body Cavity - three cell layers Gastrovascular cavity Protonephridia - "protokidneys" Hermaphroditic - animals have both male and female sex organs Mostly aquatic - bottom dwellers ``` Platyhelminthes
45
Describe the nutrition of Planaria
Actively pursue prey, eye can detect light Extension of pharynx Feed on small live or larger dead No digestion in gastrovascular cavity, food taken up by epithelial cells Platyhelminthes
46
Describe the nutrition of tapeworms.
Feed by diffusion Food broken down by host Platyhelminthes
47
What is the tapeworm life cycle?
1. In human intestine/host 2. Gravid proglottids pass out with feces 3. Eggs in food eaten by hog/intermediate host 4. Larvae burrown onto blood or lymph vessels and carried to muscle 5. Hog muscle to Cysticercus (bladder worm) to host Platyhelminthes
48
Describe the nervous system of Platyhelminthes.
Central nervous system with cephalization (free living forms) Ladder type nervous system (Planaria) Platyhelminthes
49
Describe the Fluke Life Cycle (disease).
1. In primary host's liver 2. Fertile eggs shed in feces 3. Larva penetrates intermediate host 4. Escapes into water 5. Encysts on grass eaten by host Platyhelminthes
50
What are some characteristics of Aschelminthes (Nematoda) Roundworms
``` Bilateral symmetry Cylinder shape "Tube within Tube" Cephalization Mouth is anterior Anus is posterior No respiration or circulation systems Contains pseudocoelom false body cavity (not lined with mesoderm) ``` Aschelminthes
51
What are key parts of a cross section of a female Ascaris?
``` Cuticle (outside layer) Uterus (big circle inside) Oviduct (one of the circles nearer edges) Pseudocoel (clear stuff) Ovary (Circle with stuff on inside) Muscle cells (line outside) Intestine (Mouth below uterus) ``` Aschelminthes
52
What do aschelminthes eat?
Parasites Aschelminthes
53
How do roundworms (Aschelminthes) obtain food?
Suck food in through the mouth via contraction of pharynx May or may not contain digestive enzymes (depends on where they live) - Parasitic, range of enzymes small Aschelminthes
54
What is the advantage of a separate anus/open body cavity?
``` Do not get mixing of food Continuous eating Movement - can slide past/bend Protection Space for organ systems to develop ``` Aschelminthes
55
What are 3 types of roundworms that can cause diseases?
Ascaris Trichina Worm Hookworm Aschelminthes
56
What do Ascaris do?
Ingegsted, burrow through intestine into blood system => lungs => mouth => stomach Female lays 200,000 eggs daily Aschelminthes
57
What do Trichina Worms do?
Comes from eating uncooked pork Worm burrows into muscle forming a cyst Burrowing can cause damage Aschelminthes
58
What do hookworms do?
Ingested, burrow through intestine into blood system => lungs => mouth => stomach
59
In depth describe the life cycle of Ascaris.
1. Adult worms live in lumen of small intestine, females produce 240,000 eggs/day , passed with feces 2. Fertile eggs embryonate, become infective after 18 days to several weeks 3. Depending on environmental conditions (optimum: warm, moist, shaded soil), after infective eggs swallowed 4. Larvae hatch 5. Invades intestinal mucosa, carried via portal, systemic circulation to lungs. 6.
