function of a pinacocyte sponge cell
make up outer layers of sponge
function of a amoebacyte sponge cell
carry food to other cells, transform into other types when needed
function of a porocyte sponge cell
channel water into radial canals through pores
function of a choanocyte sponge cell
create water current, capture and engulf food particles through phagocytosis
most complex sponge body plan
leucon
medium complex sponge body plan
syncon
least complex sponge body plan
ascon
water flows into sponge body through surface pores called…
ostia
past the incurrent canals, water passes through small openings in cells called…
porocytes
… canals are lines with choanocytes
radial
the large central chamber where water ends up after the process
spongocoel
water is released from the sponge body through the…
osculum
sponge method of reproduction
both sexual and asexual
advantages of a folded or convoluted sponge body shape
greater surface to volume ration so they can grow larger, more opportunity for choanocytes to take in food
why sponges are placed the animal taxonomic group
sponge cells are held together by collagen like other animal cells and are believed to be one of the earliest ancestors of other animals
type of cell that produces current through the sponge
choanocytes or collar cells
type of cell that distributes nutrients throughout the sponge
amoebacytes
subtype of cell that creates spicules (skeletal spikes of silica or calcium carbonate)
sclerocytes
ways that sponges rely on movement of water
feeding, respiration, waste elimination, reproduction
porifera traits
aquatic (mostly marine), asymmetric and acellular
ecological benefits of sponges in aquatic ecosystems
microcurrents help prevent water from going stagnant, natural filtration and movement of dissolved oxygen
tissue layer where cnidocytes are located
body and primarily tentacles because of greater reach for potential prey and natural movement with ocean currents
mechanism of cnidocyte discharge
barbs on hollow thread-like filaments to deliver either poison to paralyze or adhesive
class Hydrozoa method of reproduction
asexual for polyps (shown by buds) but sexual for medusa (shown by gonads)
Hydra method of digestion
both intracellular and extracellular
difference between Hydra and Obelia
Hydra are stationary while Obelia can be mobile, Hydra only consist of polyps but no medusae, Obelia more branching structure
cnidaria traits
primarily marine, radial symmetry, two tissue types (epidermis and gastrodermis), no skeletal system
compare and contrast scyphozoan (true jellyfish) medusa vs Obelia medusa
scyphozoan medusa stage makes up most of life cycle, young medusae bud off of polyps for both
function of anthozoa pedial disk
tough fleshy base used for attachment
function of anthozoa acontia
contains cnidocytes which extend through the mouth to aid capture of prey or defense
function of anthozoa tentacles
defense and prey capture around the mouth
function of anthozoa primary septum
thin vertical wall dividing the body and providing increased surface area
function of anthozoa ostium
pore that allows circulation of fluids between body sections
