| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Porifera: | sponges are sessile with porous bodies and choanocytes |
| Parts of the sponge include | •Spongocoel = Central cavity of sponge•Osculum= Larger excurrent opening of the spongocoel•Epidermis-Single layer of flattened cells which forms outer surface sponge• |
| Porocyte= | Cells which form pores; possess a hollow channel through the center which extends from the outer surface (incurrent pore) to spongocoel.• |
| What is the simplest kind of invertebrate? | The sponge. |
| Choanocyte= | Collar cell, majority of cells which line the spongocoel; possess a flagellum which is ringed by a collar of fingerlike projections. Flagellar movement moves water and food particles which are trapped on the collar and later phagocytized.• |
| Mesohyl = | The gelatinous layer located between the two layers of the sponge body wall (epidermis and choanocytes).• |
| Amoebocyte= | Wandering, pseudopod bearing cells in the mesohyl; function in food uptake from choanocytes, food digestion, nutrient distribution to othercells, formation of skeletal fibers, gamete formation• |

| There are two possible cnidarian body plans | sessile polyp and motile floating medusa. |
| Some species of cnidarians exist only as polyps some only as medusae | and others are dimorphic (both polyp and medusa stages in their life cycles). |
| What do sponges lack? | They lack Systems so no muscles, no nerves and no organs for digestion or circulation |
