Calcispongiae
43
Under what class is the Sycon sp.
Calcispongiae
44
Under what class is the Spongia officinalis
Demospongiae
45
Under what class is the Euplectella sp.
Hexactinellida
46
If a sponge is cut into small fragments, or if the cells of a sponge are entirely dissociated and are allowed to fall into small groups, or aggregates, entire new sponges can develop from these fragments or aggregates of cells
somatic embryogenesis
47
skeleton absent or of siliceous spicules WITHOUT an axial filament
Homoscleromorpha
48
What class has calcium carbonate spicules
Calcispongiae
49
What class has spicules NOT with 6 rays
Demospongiae
50
What class has spicules with 6 rays
Hexactinellida
51
what class has spongin network often present
Demospongiae
52
What class has syncytial trabecular reticulum
Hexactinellida
53
what classes have siliceous spicules organized around an axial filament
Demospongiae and Hexactinellida
54
What class is this? spicules made of Calcium carbonate
Calcispongiae
55
What class is this? spicules are straight (monoaxons) or have three or four rays
Calcispongiae
56
What class is this? Most are small with tubular or vase shapes
Calcispongiae
57
What class is this? Many are drab in color, but some are bright yellow, green, red, or lavender
Calcispongiae
58
What class is this? Spicules are siliceous but NOT six rayed and may be absent or bound together by spongin

Hexactinellida
62
What class is this? Marine: highly varied in color and shape, with some growing to several meters in diameter.
Demospongiae
63
are sponges monoecious or dioecious
monoecious
64
when young sponges develop early while still attached to their parent sponge
vivaparous / internal fertilization
65
Zygote is retained within the parent and provided with nourishment until it is released as a ciliated larva. One sponge releases sperm which enter the pores of another sponge. Choanocytes phagocytize (ingest) the sperm, transform into carrier cells, and transport sperm to the oocytes in the mesohyl to form zygote
vivaparous
66
Both sperm and oocytes (egg cells) are released into water for external fertilization
oviparous
67
The free swimming larva of most sponges is a solid-bodied --
Parenchymula
68
A hollow [...] (blastula) forms, with flagellated cells facing the inside
stomoblastula
69
The blastula undergoes inversion, turning inside out so the flagellated cells face the outside. The larva, called an [...], has flagellated cells (micromeres) at the front and larger, non-flagellated cells (macromeres) at the back.
amphiblastula
70
In amphiblastula, the micromeres are at the [1] while the macromeres are at the [2]
front (anterior) back (posterior)
71
What is the representative species of Calcispongiae
Grantia, Sycon, Leucosolenia
72
What is the representative species of Demospongiae
Spongia officinalis (Bath Sponge)
73
What is the representative species of Hexactinnelida
Euplectella sp. (Glass sponge or Venus flower basket)
74
What class is mostly radially symmetrical?
Hexactinellida
75
In class Calcispongiae, all are marine except some few freshwater such as --
Spongillidae
76
a small asconoid sponge that grows in branching colonies, usually arising from a network of horizontal, stolonlike tubes
Leucosolenia sp.
77
species in class calcispongiae that is small with intertwined tubes
Clathrina
78
a solitary sponge that may live singly or form clusters by budding
Sycon sp.
79
After reaching a certain size, may become detached from the parent and float away to form new sponges, or they may remain to form colonies
external buds
80
made up of clusters of sponge cells, mainly archaeocytes, surrounded by a tough protective layer (helps survive harsh conditions)
gemmules
81
it is a mechanism of survival of the harsh conditions of winter
gemmules
82
Gemmules in marine sponges also seem to be an adaptation to pass the cold of winter; they are the only form in which --- exists during the colder parts of the year in the northern part of its range
Haliclona loosanoffi
