(136 cards)
characteristics of animals
- mutlicellular
- heterotrophs
- no cell wall
flagellated cells that help generate a water-current that flows through the sponge body and facilitates feeding
chaoanocytes
what do sponges have to help with feeding?
chaoanocytes
Sponges feed by
filter feeding- capture small particles from water
Example of a sponge that has calcareous spicules for structural support
Grantia
large opening at tip of sponge
osculum
small opening in sponge
ostia
large central cavity of sponge
spongocoel
How does water move through sponges?
- water drawn in through ostia
- enters spongocoel where choanocytes help it flow
- exits through osculum
What type of symmetry do Cnidarians have?
radial
Tissue in cnidarians
2 layers, endoderm and ectoderm
jelly like matrix that separates tissue layers in cnidarian
mesoglea
specialized cells that contain stinging structures in cnidarians
cnidocytes
stinging structures in cnidarians
nematocysts
what are cnidocytes used for?
capturing prey
explain what happens to prey in cnidaria
captured by cnidocytes (stung with nematocysts) and passes through mouth to gastrovascular cavity
What is common in Cnidaria?
polymorphism
What are the two forms of polymorphism in cnidaria?
sessile polyp and motile medusa
What are the three classes of Cnidaria?
- Hydrozoa
- Schyphozoa
- Anthozoa
colonial hydrozoan that alternates between the polyp and medusae stages in its life cycle
Obelia
tentacles that function as feeding polyps
gasterozoids
specialized for the production of medusae
gonozoids
describe portuguese man of war
individuals composed of many hydrozoids that specialize in feeding, reproduction, or float
jellyfish class
scyphozoa
