Q

What characteristics can help you distinguish between hydrozoan and scyphozoan medusae?

A

Hydrozoan medusae generally have a muscular shelf, or velum, projecting inward from the margin of the bell
- velum is not found in scyphozoans

Q

what are some differences between Cnidarians and Ctenephores?

A
  • Ctenophores have colloblasts instead of cnidocytes
  • Cten. have eight “comb rows” of fused cilia
  • many Cnidarians are mostly sessile

25
What structure(s) would help you determine whether a polyp of Obelia is a hydranth (feeding polyp) or a gonangium (reproductive polyp)?
tentacles; hydranths have them while gonangia do not
26
How many embryonic layers does this organism have? What are they?
two; endoderm and ectoderm
27
What phylum does this belong to? What is the specimen?
Ctenophore - "comb jelly"
28
What specimen is the following?
Phylum Cnidaria, Class Anthozoa, "sea pansy"
29
What are the following specimen?
Phylum Cnidaria, Class Anthozoa, aka stony corals
30
What is the following specimen?
Phylum Cnidaria, Class Anthozoa, organ pipe coral
31
What is the following specimen?
Aurelia- Phylum Cnidaria, Class Scyphozoa
32
What is the following specimen?
Phylum Cnidaria, Class Scyphozoa, cannonball jellyfish
33
What is the following specimen?
portuguese man-of-war, colonial; Phylum Cnidaria, Class Hydrozoa
34
What is the following specimen?
Phylum Cnidaria, Class Hydrozoa
35

38
Label J and K
J: medial K: lateral
39
dimorphic
displays two different body forms
40
medusa body form (3)
it is mobile, planktonic, and pelagic
41
planktonic
in the water column with movements subject to ocean currents
42
pelagic
living in the open ocean
43
medusa: oral surface
the side of the body contains the mouth/anus
44
medusa: aboral surface
the surface opposite to the mouth
45
What form is dominant in Class Hydrozoa?
the polyp but many have a medusa at some point
46
Hydrozoan medusae are unique in that...
they have very little mesoglea between their tissue layers
47
Hydra (Class Hydrozoa) is odd because... (2)
- lives in freshwater - has no medusae
48
polymorphic
at least two body types
49
hydranth/gastrozooid
polyps with tentacles and have a feeding function
50
gonozooids/gonangia
polys with the function of asexual reproduction
51
the Portuguese Man-Of-War is a...
polymorphic colony of many individual polyps modified for various functions
51
what class of Cnidarians do we generally think of as 'jellyfish'?
Class Scyphozoa
52
Class Scyphozoa medusae have more...
mesoglea, giving a plumper appearance
53
Class Scyphozoa life cycle
1. male and female medusae reproduce asexually through gametes 2. the zygote develops into a planula larva (free-swimming) 3. planula larva settles onto a substrate and develops into a scyphistoma 4. the scyphistoma polyp develops into a strobila, which asexually reproduces ephyrae
54
scyphistoma
a Scyphozoan polyp that develops after a planula larva
55
strobila
a Scyphozoan poly that asexually reproduces "stacks" of mini meducase known as ephyrae
56
ephyrae
mini juvenile medusae
57
A
58
What Classes can be found within Phylum Cnidaria? (4)
Classes - Cubozoa - Hydrozoa - Scyphozoa - Anthozoa
59
How many tentacles does Class Cubozoa have?
four, one for each 'corner'
60
What class has medusae that are relatively quick swimmers and are active hunters?
Class Cubozoa
61
what class of Cnidarians has fairly well-developed vision?
Class Cubozoa
62
Where can you find members of Class Cubozoa?
widespread in warm oceans
63
Where can you find members of class Anthozoa?
exclusively marine
64
What body formes does Class Anthozoa exhibit?
only polyp
65
Are members of Class Anthozoa solitary or colonial? (3)
- solitary polyps - colony of similar looking polyps - colony of polymorphic polyps
66
D, B, A, C
67
Which Phylum is also called the 'comb jellies'?
Ctenophora
68
What does Phylum Ctenophora use for movement?
eight rows of cilia called ctenes
69
What do members of Phylum Ctenophora use to capture prey?
colloblast cells
70
colloblast cells
secrete a sticky mucus to trap food in members of Ctenophora
71
What kind of nervous system do Phylum Cnidaria and Ctenophora use?
nerve net
72
Class Hydrozoa: forms
polyp is dominant but possess a medusa at some point
73
Class Scyphozoa: forms
medusa is dominant but possess a poly at some point
74
Class Cubozoa: forms
medusa is dominant bus possess a poly at some point
75
Class Anthozoa: forms
polyp only
76
Label this figure of a Scyphozoan life cycle.
A: planula B: scyphistoma C: stobila D: ephyra
