Q

What happened to oxygen inside the cell?

A

-turns into CO2 &H2O
-creates a gap, constantly losing oxygen in the cell called the diffusion gradient
- as oxygen leaves the cell, oxygen goes back in automatically

Q

What are osmotrophs?

Study These Flashcards
A

usually rely more on pinocytosis

22
Q

How do paramecium sexually reproduce?

Study These Flashcards
A

they kiss at the oral groove, they stab each other with anchors called trichocysts

23
Q

what does the macronucleus do?

Study These Flashcards
A

does normal nuceole activities

24
Q

what does the micronucleus do?

Study These Flashcards
A

responsible for sexual responsibilities

25
What is an animal
multicellular create that has a extra-cellular matrix called a basal lamina, and has cell to cell connectors
26
What are the most common type of cell-cell connectors?
desmosomes and gap junction
27
What are the synapomorphies of phylum Porifera?
-have spicules: skeletons embedded within the body and gives sponges their unique skeletal structure -sponges are asymmetrical -some are tubular and some are encrusting
28
high ocean currents
encrusting
29
low ocean currents
tubular
30
synapmorphy of porifera on the chart:
internal system or pores and canals
31
what is the community ecology of sponges?
habituating forming creatures, their bodies become habitats for other oganisms
32
what is the dermal Ostia
holes in the sponges skin that water flows in
33
what is the oscula?
holes that water flows out of at the top
34
describe a sponge's skeleton
-embedded shards of glass -mostly made out of two elements: calcium & silica -spicules collagen, and sponging -spiculesis embedded in a protein that gives the sponge sponginess
35
how do sponges move?
sit on substrate and rarely move; they can move millimeters
36
what are the three layers for a sponge
pinacoderm: outside later mesophyll: nonliving inner matrix, includes spicules, collagen, and spongin chonaderm: inside layer
37
what are the different types of cells of cells do sponges have?
-pinacocytes: live on the outside later (pinacoderm) -porocytes: pore cells, tubular in shape with a hole through them which water comes through -archaeocyes: live in the meosphyl primarily choanocytes: live on the inside layer (chonaderm)
38
What are archeocytes?
-stem cells of sponges -amoeboid in shape for mobility -differniated cells that have potential to be other cells -some stay in the mesophyll to secrete the nonliving inner matrix
39
what are the different types of archeocytes?
sclerocytes: secret spicules spnogcytes: secrete spongin collencytes: secrete collagen
40
What are choanocytes?
lines the inner cavity of the spongecoel, where the water flows in and out of the osculum. it secretes a basal membrane and communicates. when you move the flagella, it creates a negative vacuum pressure inside the collar
41
how do sponges digest?
food is originally captures by choanocyte. sends left overs to the amoebocyte in the mesophl to send to other parts of the bodies where it is needed. freshwater sponges do photosynthesis through the help
42
water flow of asconoid?
dermal ostia, porocyte, spongocoel, osculum
43
water flow of syconoid
dermal ostia, incurrent canal, prosopyle, prosody, radial canal, apopule, spongocoel, osculum
44
water flow of leuconoid
osmium, incurrent canal, flagellated chambers, excurrent canal, oscula
45
how do sponges reproduce sexually?
asexually & sexually happens externally and internally larva grows by binary fission but as mature sponges as sexual reproduce
46
how do sponges fertilize externally?
broadcast spawning; coordination of males and females to release eggs and sperm at the same time. coordinate through environmental cues such as sunlight and temperature. egg and sperm meet and makes a parenchymula which is covered with spikes. when they hit land they go into asexual reproduction
47
which cells are sperm?
choanocytes
48
which cels are oocytes?
archaeocytes?
49
how do sponges internally fertilize?
female sponge receives genetic information from the male which it detects through filtering. they fuse with a cynaocyte to turn into a carrier cell. carrier cell goes to the mesophyll to fuse with an amobeocyte
50
how do sponges reproduce asexually?
they have packages of gemmules that are packages of archaeocysts that are surrounded by hardened cyst. they will grow in the micropyle when conditions are right
51
are sponges monoecious or doceious?
monoecious
