Q

what are the different types of sclereoblast found in the Poriferans?

A
  1. calcoblast- forms calcareous spicules made up of CaCO3
  2. silicoblast- forms silicious spicules made up of silicic acid
  3. spongioblast - forms spongin fibres made up of spongin protein

Q

what kind of fertilization is found in the poriferans

A

internal and cross fertilization

24
Q

what is the larval stage of sycon and leucosolenia and which one is hollow and which one is solid

A

sycon - amphiblastula (hollow)

leucosolenia - parenchymula (solid)

25
Q

what are the different type of canal system found in the Porifera

A

Ascon type
Sycon type
Leucon type/Ragon type

26
Q

why is the leucon type canal system also called the ragon type canal system

A

ragon is the larval stage of organism and the canal system present in them is the ragon type canal system when the organism matures and changes into the adult the ragon type of canal system changes to the leucon type of canal system so, considering the larval stage it is also called the ragon type

27
Q

which is the most primitive canal system and which organism has it

A

ascon type

found in leucosolenia

28
Q

which organism contains the sycon type of canal system

A

sycon and grantia

29
Q

which contains the ragan/leucon type of canal system

A

euplectella and spongilla

30
Q

what are the main function of the canal system

A

nutrition
excretion
respiration
reproduction (minor)

31
Q

what is the path for the flow of water in the ascon type

A

ostia
spongocoel
osculum
exit

32
Q

what is the path for the flow of water in the sycon type

A
ostia 
incurrent canal 
prosopyle
radial canal
apopyle
spongocoel
osculum
exit
33
Q

what is prosopyle and which cells form them

A

passage between incurrent canal and the radial canal

formed by the porocyte cells

34
Q

what is apopyle

A

passage between the radial canal and the spongocoel

35

42
Q

what type of symmetry is found in sponges

A

43
Q

what is the name and function of the myocytes present around the osculum

A

oscular fringes

work as valve

44
