130 all marine

Question 34

Phylum Ctenophora shit

Answer 34

mostly pelagic suggest possibility of most basal metazoan

Question 35

Phylum Ctenophora share features with Cnidaria 4

Answer 35

1. type of radial symmetry with a clear oral-aboral axis 2. diploblastic organization, w a mostly non-cellular middle layer 3. gastrovascular cavity that serves both for digestion and for distribution of food and oxygen 4. nerve net rather than a centralized nervous system

Question 36

Phylum Ctenophora differnet features with Cnidaria 6

Answer 36

1. lack cnidocytes 2. asexual reproduction rare 3. are never colonial 4. vast majority are hermaphroditic and free-spawn both eggs and sperm somtimes self-fertilize 5. do not have a planula larva, called cydippid 6. possess a mouth and maybe a type of through-gut with two anal pores

Question 37

Ctenophora distinctive features 4

Answer 37

1. adults exhibit biradial symmetry 2. Comb rows made of ctenes, formed from paddle-like groups of cilia 3. largest animals able to swim using cilia--> v big cilia 4. 2 long tentacles covered w coloblasts 5. statocyst at aboral end

Question 38

coloblasts

Answer 38

unique to ctenophore very adhesive cells for catching prey

Question 39

statocyst

Answer 39

-organ of balance and orientation -evolved independently in many invertebrates

Question 40

whats in statocyst

Answer 40

calcareous statolith is balanced on four tufts of cilia that are each connected to two comb rows, if lith presses against shit it sends nervous signal kinda cool

Question 41

ctenophores feeding

Answer 41

predators

Question 42

Mnemiopsis

Answer 42

introduction caused crash of fisheries in black sea cuz it eats fish eggs beroe got introduced too and fucks the mnemiopsis

Question 43

ctenophore gut

Answer 43

lacking a ‘true’ through-gut however anal pores are temporary so technically temporary anus and temporary through gut
