Animals, Porifera, Cnidaria Flashcards
(34 cards)
Animals are made up of more then one cell and are therefore called
Multicellular
Am organism whose mouth forms second during the process of gastrulation
Deuterosomes
Body symmetry where the organism can be divided into two right and left halves
Bilateral
Hydra, jellyfish, coral and sea anemones are all members of this phylum
Cnidaria
Animals with backbones
Vertebrates
Pieces of silica which made up the “skeleton” of many sponges
Spicules
The top side of an organism
Dorsal
What cells in sponges are responsible for moving water currents through the sponge
Collar
The gathering of nerve tissue and sensory organs at the anterior end of the body
Cephalization
The “rear” end of an organism
Posterior
A hollow ball of cells formed after a zygote undergoes several rounds of cell division
Blastula
This stage of the sponge life cycle is the only one which is motile
Larva
The process of eliminating cellular waste
Excretion
An organism whose mouth is formed first during gastrulation
Protostomes
A word describing organisms which exhibit no define symmetry
Asymmetrical
Animals without backbones
Invertebrates
Stinging cells founds along the tentacles of Cnidarians
Cnidocytes
The inner-most germ layer of a developing embryo
Endoderm
Animals cells contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles and are therefore called
Eukaryotic
The free-swimming, sexually reproducing generation of a cnidarian
Meodusa
The type of body symmetry where the organism numerous ways around a central axis
Radial
Animals must eat other organisms for energy and therefore described as being
Heterotrophic
The flexible protein which makes up the supporting structure of many sponges
Spongin
This is the opening through which water leaves the sponge
Osculum
