produce medusa buds asexually
33
What is the function of medusa buds in an obelia hydroid colony?
Actual development/growing of jellyfish structure (gonangium is more like the container)
34
What is the function of manubrium in an obelia medusae?
Hold the mouth --> mouth attached at tip
35
Describe class schyphozoa
-Marine coastal waters -Polyp stage restricted to small larval form
36
What is an aurelia?
A true jellyfish
37
What is the function of the oral lobes in an aurelia?
capture and transfer prey to the mouth
38
What is the function of gonads in an aurelia?
reproduction --> produce egg and sperm
39
What is the unction of marginal tentacles in an aurelia?
-Help jellyfish capture prey -Defense: has stinging cells and can release toxins
40
What is the function of a ring canal in an aurelia?
Allow water to move into radial canals
41
Describe class anthozoa
-Sea anemones and corals -Marine coastal waters -Solitary or colonia polyps -NO medusa stage
42
What is a metridium?
Sea anemone
43
What is the function of the mouth in a metridium?
Center of oral disc --> ingest food, excrete waste, and release reproductive cells
44
What is the function of a septum/septa?
-It's mesenteries -Function: provide additional surface area in the gastrovascular cavity for digestion of food and absorption of nutrients
45
What is the function of a pedal disc in metridium?
Adhesion and locomotion
46
Which of the four categories of protozoan groups does Euglena belong to?
Flagellated
47
Which structures found in Euglena are evidence that they can obtain nutrients by photosynthesis?

64
Describe class turbellaria and give an example
-Mostly free living, carnivorous, aquatic forms with a ciliated epidermis -Ex: Planaria (they're planarians)
65
Identify the functions in the structures: ocelli, auricles, pharynx
-Ocelli: light sensing mechanism to guide behavior -Auricles: detects chemicals in environment -Pharynx: entrance/exit to the digestive system
66
Describe class Trematoda

67
Identify the functions in the structures: oral sucker, ventral sucker, pharynx, excretory pore, vitellaria (yolk glands)
-Oral sucker: attachment to host and feeding -Ventral sucker: attachment to host only -Pharynx: muscular structure used to pull food into intestine via the oral sucker -Excretory pore: release metabolic waste outside the body -Vitellaria: produce yolk material used to nourish developing embryo within egg
68
Describe Class Cestoda
-Parasitic in most vertebrate hosts -Complex lifecycle with intermediate and multiple hosts -No digestive system -Also known as tapeworms
69
Describe the functions of these structures: scolex, hooks, suckers
-Scolex: attaches to host's intestinal wall -Hooks: hooks to intestinal lining -Suckers: also attack to wall --> no feeding through suckers
70
Describe Phylum Nematoda
-Bilaterally symmetrical -Triploblastic tissue: pseudocoelomate (has body cavity) -Pseudocoelom with complete digestive tract -Usually dioecious (separate sexes) -Contains both free living and parasitic species -Have longitudinal muscles but lack circular muscles -Also known as roundworms
71
Describe function of these structures: cuticle, pharynx, excretory ducts, spicules
-Cuticle: tough protective coating secreted by epidermis (important for parasites) -Pharynx: muscular organ that sucks food from mouth into the intestine -Excretory ducts: excretory system (lateral lines) -Spicules: grasp onto female during sex
