QuestionAnswer
Each of the following statements concerning sponges is except one Sponges reproduce only asexually
If sponges lacked collar cells it would not be able to Feed
Jellyfish use their nematocysts to capture prey
Organs known as combs plates are found on animals known as ctenophores
Which of the following animals exhibits radial symmetry as an adult? Jellyfish
Worms with segmented bodies are called annelids
An example of a parasitic flatworm would be a fluke
Most sedentary polychaetes are Filter feeders
Nematodes play an important role in recycling organic matter
Tiny invertebrates that live in the spaces between sediments particles are collectively called meiofauna
Planula larva The planktonic larval stage of cnidarian
Budding A form of asexual reproduction in microbes and multicellur organisms in which unequal division of the adult produces two individuals
Medusa The free floating form of cnidarian that resembles an umbrella or a bell
Casting A pile of organic material and minerals defecated by deposit feeders
Swarming a behavior exhibited by some errant polychaetes in which the males and females congregate at the surface of the water to reproduse
meiofauna Tiny organism that adapted in the spaces between sediments particles.
Stylet A hard, sharp point and the end of an organ.
Nematocyst The stinging organelle found with in the stinging cell of cniderians.
Nematode A round wormlike animal that belongs to the phylum Nematoda.
Hydroid A colonial organism belonging to the cniderian class hydrozoan.
Sea anemones A large, heavy complex plops that belong to the cniderian class anthozoa.
Echinuran An animal that belongs to the class Echiura in the phylum Annelida.
Cydippid Larva The planktonic larva of ctenophores.
cnida the stinging organelles in the cnidocyte.
Cnidocil A bristle like structure that extends from one end of a cnidocyte and functions as a trigger.
priapulid A worm that benthic and belongs to the phylum priapulida.
Hemichordate An animal in phylum Hemichcrdata and is also called a acorn worm.
Tapeworm A parasitic flatworm belonging to the class cestoda. Tapeworms are found in the intestines of vertebrate animals.
Asconoid Type of sponge whose body has only a single songocoel that does not contain invaginations.
Turbellarian Flatworms A free-living (nonparasitic) type of flatworm.
Epitok The pelagic reproductive individual formed by some errant polychaetes.
Colony A group of individuals that are physically connected and adapted to share resources such as food.
Pogonophoran An animal that belongd to the class pogonophora of the phylum Annelida. Also known as beard worms.
Photoreceptor A sensory organ capable of responding to light.
Photoperiod The amount of light and darkness in a 24 hour period.
If sponges lacked collar cells it would not be able to Feed
Jellyfish use their nematocysts to capture prey
Organs known as comb plates are found on animals known as ctenophores
An animal that exhibits radial symmetry Jellyfish
Worms with segmented bodies Annelids
A parasitic flatworm are Fluke
Most sedentary polchaetes are Filter Feeders
Nematodes play an important role in recycling Organic Matter
Tiny invertebrates that live in the spaces between sediment particles are collectively called meiofauna
What affects a sponges body structure? Its size by its ability to circulate water through its body.
What are a boring sponges role in the environment? They make their own habitat by boring into coral or dead shells.
What are advantages in a bilateral symmetry? More in active lifestyles by giving concentration for sense organs and they also have a more streamlined body.
What are the ecological contribution of burrowing organisms? They form a habitat for thousands of organisms.
What is the ecological role of meiofauna? Thay adapt to small spaces in sediment particles and use cilia to crawl or glide and they leave a track of mucus.
How do sponges feed and reproduce? Sponges feed by filter feed when they take food from the water and reproduce sexually and asexually.
How are cniderian stinging cells activated? Activated when the capsule in the cellos open by the nematocyst when it is discharged.
What is the difference between selective deposit feeders and nonselecive deposit feeders? Nonselective deposit feeders injest both organic mineral particles and digest organic mineral and selective deposit feeders separate organic material from minerals and inject only organically minerals.
How does radial symmetry have more advantages of sessile organism? Radial symmetry allows them to meet and respond to their environment equally well from all sides.
What is the difference between hydrozoan and scyphozoan? Hydrozoans when medusa mature they are released into the water to grow while scyphozoans release immature medusa buds to mature.
