QuestionAnswer
Osculum A large opening on a sponge through which filtered water is expelled
Amoebocytes Cells within a sponge that produce its skeletal structure, perform digestion, and repair cell damage
Gemmule A group of cells surrounded by a shell made of spicules
Metamorphosis A complete morphological change from larval to adult form
Spherical symmetry A body form in which any cut through the organism’s center results in identical halves
Radial symmetry A body form in which any longitudinal cut (along the length) through the organism’s central axis results in identical halves
Bilateral symmetry A body form in which only on longitudinal cut through the organism’s center results in identical halves
Polyp An attached cnidarian stage, appearing sac-like or barrel-like
Medusa A free-swimming cnidarian stage, appearing bell-like or umbrella-like
Mesoglea A jelly-like substance between the inner layer an outer layer of cells in a cnidarian
Dorsal Referring to the top (or back) surface of an animal
Ventral Referring to the bottom (or belly) surface of an animal
Mutualism A relationship between two or more organisms of different species where both benefit from the association
Commenalism A relationship between two or more organisms of different species where one benefits and the other is neither harmed nor benefited
Parasitism A relationship between two or more organisms of different species where one benefits and the other is harmed
Coelom A body cavity within organisms containing specialized tissue extensions of the body containing thinwalled blood vessels that allow for easy absorption of oxygen from the outside surface
Members of phylum Porifera are commonly called what? Sponges
Being attached to the bottom surface, such as the sea floor, is called what? Substrate
Tube-like cells in a sponge that allow water to enter Pore cells
Cells that create currents of water in a sponge Collar cells
Laterally, as in the water enters in laterally from the sides
Apically, as in the water leave apically through the top
The water in a sponge always enter in ______ and leaves ______ laterally, apically
Three basic sponge body types Ascon, Sycon, Leucon
What is aggregation? Aggregation is the ability of sponges to reform into a new individual if it is broken up into tiny bits
Spicules Made of calcium carbonate or silica, support
Spongin Web-like skeleton of elastic protein fibers, more flexible than spicules
Budding A form of asexual reproduction used by sponges. A new individual grows out of the old one then is pinched off
amphiblastula planktonic larva from sponges
Members of phylum Cnidaria are sometimes called what and why? They care sometimes called coelenterate because they contian a coel, which is a large body cavity
Nematocysts are unique stinging structures that can paralyze prey or ward off predators. They are located on the tentacles of a cnidarian
Mesoglea is located betweentwo tissue layers: the ectoderm and the endoderm
Planula A free-swimming larval stage which metamorphozie into a medusa
Nerve cells A simple nervous system that enable some species of cnidarian to identify each other and to coordinate the :pulsing: of medusoid forms of orientation in the water column
Anthozoa Largest groups of cnidarians
Septa vertical partitions that provide greater surface for digestion in the gastrovascular cavity of Anthozoans
Sea fans, sea plumes and black corals colonial anthozoans that form braching or elongated skelonts
Soft corals, sea pens, sea anemones no hard skeleton
Phylum Ctenophora Comb jellies
Combs or “ctenes” locomotive cilia in comb jellies
Platyhelminthes flatworms
Central Nervous sytem coordinates the movemtns of well-developed muscled of a flat worm
Turbellarains class Turbellaria
Class Trematoda largest class
Flukes Parasites that live first in a host which is then eaten by a vertebrate host where they then live out the rest of their live
Tapeworms Parasites that live in the gastrovascular cavity of a host
Phylum Nemertea Ribbon worms
Probosics Long, tubular structure that is used by members of phylum nemertea to defend and capture prey
Phylum Nematoda Round worms
Phylum Annelida Segment worms
Class Polychaeta Polychaetes
Parapodia Small, flattened extensions on each segment of a polychaete
Trochophore a free-swimming, ciliated, planktonic stage that metamorphoses into an adult polychaete
Lophophorates Organisms that feed with a lophophore.
Suspension feeders Obtain their food from plankton. Lophophorates are suspension feeders
Phylum Bryozoa Moss animals, lophophorate
Phylum Phoronida lophophorates, have a U-shaped gut
Brachiopoda Lamp shells, lophophorates, look like clams, but aren’t. Have shells on top and bottom, instead of right and left.
