invertebrates
Animals that lack backbone
What percentage of animal species are accounted for by invertebrates?
95%
Invertebrate feeding strategies (4)
1) filter feeder
2) mass feeder
3) deposit feeder
4) fluid feeder
Characteristics of Phylum Porifera (5)
1) bear pores
2) lack tissues
3) multicellular
4) asymmetrical
5) Adults are sessile, larvae are free-swimming
ex: sponges
Spongocoel
cavity that water is drawn into during filter feeding in sponges
Osculum
main opening at the aboral end in sponges
ostium
an opening into a vessel or body cavity
Cells that create the opening in the sponge
porocytes
Coelom
body cavity
Sponge cells (2)
Choanocytes and Amoebocytes
Choanocytes (3)
1) Flagellated collar cells
2) generate a water current through the sponge
3) ingest suspended food
Amoebocytes (4)
1) totipotent cells
2) found in mesohyl
3) absorb food from choanocytes, digest it, and carry to other cells
4) move by pseudopodia in the mesohyl
Noncellular mesohyl layer (sponges)
gelatinous layer between two cell layers in sponges
Choano
Funnel
Spicules
Structural support; mesohyl
Sponge Reproduction types
Sexual and Asexual
Sponge Sexual Reproduction (4)
1) hermaphrodites produce egg and sperm
2) Gametes are derived from amoebocytes or choanocytes
3) Fertilization occurs in mesohyl
4) Larvae exits through osculum
Sponge asexual reproduction
Fragmentation; fragment or bud detaches and forms new sponge
Sequential hermaphroditism
Sponge first functions as one sex then switches to the other
Phylum Cnidaria Characteristics (6)
1) Diploblastic
2) Radial Symmetry
3) Gastrovascular cavity (incomplete gut)
4) Single opening for mouth and anus
5) nerve cells arranged in nerve net
6) carnivorous
gastrovascular cavity
Extracellular digestion; incomplete gut
Sessile
Stuck to one place; attached to a substrate
Polyp
A small growth with a stalk
Motile
Moving or movable
