Q

Q. mesoglea in hydra:

a. non-cellular, can be crossed by interstitial cells
b. non-cellular, cannot be crossed by interstitial cells

A

it is non-cellular which can be crossed by the interstitial cells, during the time of bud formation the interstitial cells or the totipotent cells move from the gastrodermis to the epidermis

Q

what are the two cells which are only found in the epidermis

A

CG
Cnidoblast cells
Germ cells

25
in hydra the pedal disc is covered by
gland cells
26
in hydra the tentacles have maximum number of
cnidoblast cell
27
in hydra the origin of cnidoblast is
ectodermal
28
what is nematocyst
it is the capsular structure around the nematoblast which stores and secrete hypnotoxin which paralyses the prey
29
what are the different types of cnidoblast cells
penetrants/stenotels volvents/desmonemes holotrichors icorhiza/ streptoline glutinant atrichous icorhiza/stereoline glutinant
30
smallest nematocyst largest nematocyst largest glutinant smallest glutinant
desmonemes/ volvents stenotels/penetrants streptoline glutinant/holotrichous ichrohiza stereoline glutinant/atrichous ichorhiza
31
which is the most complex nematocyst
stenotels/penetrants
32
what are the different functions carried out by different nematoblast
penetrants/stenotels - secrete hypnotoxin and paralyses the prey desmonemes/volvnet - coiles the paralysed prey holotrichous ichorhiza/streptoline glutinant- attaches the prey atrichous ichorhiza/streoline glutinant - helps in the looping movement (leech like movement)
33
what is the sensory structure of the nematocyst called what is the opening of the nematocyst called what is the contractile thread like structure of the nematocyst called
cnidocil(because of the presence of its own sensory structure it is also called the independent effector of hydra, because the information gathered from the body wall has no use on it) operculum lasso
34
what are the stimuli that stimulates the cnidocil
touch or the chemical glutathione (because of which hydra only feed on water flea i:e. daphnia and cyclopes as they secrete glutathione.
35
what is the mechanism for the discharge of cnidoblast
it occurs by physical mechanism (hydrostatic pressure)
36
what happens to the cnidoblast cell after it is discharged
the cnidoblast cell can only be discharged (used) once, after it is used it is sent to the gastrovascular cavity where it is digested
37
what are the different mode of locomotion in hydra and which is most common, fastest and slowest
somersaulting - fastest walking - cuttle fish like looping (leech like)- most common gliding movement (snail like) - slowest
38
what are the stimuli that stimulates the cnidocil
touch or the chemical glutathione (because of which hydra only feed on water flea i:e. daphnia and cyclopes as they secrete glutathione.
39
what is the mechanism for the discharge of cnidoblast
it occurs by physical mechanism (hydrostatic pressure)
40
what happens to the cnidoblast cell after it is discharged
the cnidoblast cell can only be discharged (used) once, after it is used it is sent to the gastrovascular cavity where it is digested
41
what are the different mode of locomotion in hydra and which is most common, fastest and slowest
somersaulting - fastest walking - cuttle fish like looping (leech like)- most common slowest
42
what is the main function of the interstital cells
generation of further type of cell like the cnidoblast cells, germ cells or sex cells and give coelenterata the power of regeneration
43
what is the mode of reproduction in hydra
hydra reproduce asexually by the formation of internal bud of gemma in favorable condition and sexually by gamete formation in unfavorable condition
44
how does the body and tentacles regenerate
the body of hydra regenerate by morphollaxis while the tentacles regenerate by epimorphosis
45
how is the distribution of testes and ovary in bisexual hydra
there are many testis and single ovary
46
what is the origin of the gonads
gonads are ectodermal in origin as most of the interstitial cells are ectoderm ally situated
47
what is the location of testis and ovary in hydra
testis are located towards the distal end while ovary are located towards the proximal end/aboral end
48
how does the body and tentacles regenerate
the body of hydra regenerate by morphollaxis while the tentacles regenerate by epimorphosis
49
what kind of cleavage is found in hydra
holoblastic cleavage
50
what kind of development in found in hydra
direct development(development without the larval stage)
51
explain the epithelio-muscular cell
1. it is tall and uninucleated with epithelial part and muscular part 2. the epithelial part has the covering of cuticle on it for protection (located towards the free end) 3. just below the cuticle are the mucus body and the cuticle forming granules 4. the muscular part is towards the narrower end located towards the mesoglea
52
what is planula
this is the common larva of all the cniderians specially jellyfish, obelia, sea anemone and sea coral
53
what is the function of myonemes of the epitheliomuscular cells
they are responsible for the shortening and bending of the body
54
why does hydra shows movement
hydra shows movement for nutrition and suitable environment but not for locomotion
55
explain the epithelio-muscular cell
1. it is tall and uninucleated with epithelial part and muscular part 2. the epithelial part has the covering of cuticle on it for protection 3. just below the cuticle are the mucus body and the cuticle forming granules 4. the muscular part is towards the narrower end located towards the mesoglea
56
what do the muscular part of the epithelio-mucular cell contains
it has myonemes or myofibrils made up of actin and myosin
57
what is the function of myonemes of the epitheliomuscular cells
they are responsible for the shortening and bending of the body
58
what is the structure of the glandulo-muscular cell and where is it maximum in number
they are the modification of the epithelio-muscular cells located maximum on the pedal disc
59
what is the function of the glandulo-muscular cell
- gliding movement (by pseudopodia formation and lubricating the surface) - attachment to the substratum - sometimes create water bubble for the purpose of floating
