H.Bio Phylum Test #1

2023 Honors Biology Phylum: Poriferans & Cnidarians Test Review Notes

TermRelative Info
Digestion takes place in the (?) in cnidarians? Gastrovascular Cavity (GVS)

What term means that an animal is "stuck" on a base and will remain there throughout its life, unless it is physically moved? Sessile
How do sponges feed themselves? Sponges filter-feed nutrients from the water.

How do sponges meet the oxygen requirements that they must have? Through passing water through their ostia.
What is the name of the specific structure where water enters the body of a sponge? Ostia
What is the name of the place where water exits the body of a sponge? Osculum
How many cell layers do sponges have? Two
An (?) is not present in a sponge. Coelom
Bilateral symmetry is shown in a: Human
The (?) form of a cnidarian is umbrella-shaped. Medusa
A (?) is the only body opening possessed by cnidarians. Mouth
The middle body layer of germ cells is called the: Mesoderm
Freshwater's low salt concentration causes what to happen to cells? Water to diffuse out.
A pie has (?) symmetry. Radial
The (?) make up coral reefs. Anthozoans
In sexual reproduction, a sponge: Does not fertilize its own eggs.
Nematocysts discharge when: Tentacles touch a source of food.
Digestion takes place in the (?) in cnidarians. Gastrovascular Cavity (GVS)
A (?) produces both eggs and sperm withing the same animal. Hermaphrodite
The (?) have only a polyp form. Anthozoans
What can a sponge do even though it's sessile? Feed
Where are most cnidarians found? In the ocean.
The (?) form of a cnidarian is free-swimming. Medusa
A (?) takes the place of a nervous system in cnidarians. Nerve net
Most sponges have (?) as their form of symmetry. Asymmetry
A (?) is a stinging cell found in cnidarians. Cnidocyte
A large opening at the top of a sponge is called a: Osculum
The two body plans of cnidarians are the (?) and the (?). Polyp; Medusa
The phylum of jellyfish. Cnidaria
Type of body form of a hydra. Polyp
Type of body forms for a Portuguese Man-of-War jellyfish. Polyp and Medusa
What are the stinging cells of phylum Cnidaria called? Nematocysts
Where are nematocysts located? Tentacles
Are cnidarians cephalized? No, as they neither have a head nor a brain.
What structures assist in the balance of a jellyfish? Statocysis
What is the most dangerous and deadly invertabrate? Irukandji
What are the "eyespots" of cnidarians called? Ocelli
Where does digestion occur in cnidarians? Gastrovascular Cavity (GVS)
How does a hydra obtain its food? They sting their prey with their cnidocysts and then engulf them.
What is the class of sea anemones? Anthozoa
What is the class of hydras? Hydrozoa
What is the class of true jellyfish and Sea Wasps? Scyphozoa
What is the little fish called that shares a mutualistic relationship with the Portuguese Man-of-War? Nomeus
Only dead coral are (?). Chalk white.
Coral polyps can only grow as far as (?) penetrates the water, which is often (?) feet. Light; 50 to 70
Coral polyps cannot grow beyond (?) feet. 180
What type of marine life can be found in the Great Barrier Reef? Colorful and diverse organisms, albeit often dangerous.
What is the largest structure ever created by man or animal? The Great Barrier Reef.
How was the Great Barrier Reef created? Skeletal deposits from polyps built up and eventually formed the reefs.
What should a person wear when exploring the Great Barrier Reefs and why? Protective clothing (ex. jeans/shoes) as the coral will hurt if you get scarred or scratched.
The jellylike material between the cell layers of a jellyfish are called the: Mesoglea
Darwin inferred that coral reefs existing in deep water grew on top of: Ancient coral reefs
The hydra belongs to Kingdom (?) and Phylum (?). Animalia; Cnidaria.
What are cnidocytes? Stinging cells found in a hydra's tentacles.
Where do hydras live? Typically in freshwater areas.
What two other organisms are closely related to the hydra? The Sea Anemone and Portuguese Man-of-War jellyfish.
The hydra and Portuguese Man-of-War are in what class? Class Hydrozoa
What is the scientific name of the Portuguese Man-of-War jellyfish? Physalia Physalis
What type of organism is Physalia Physalis? Colonial; pnuematophore (float), dactylazoids (stinging cells), gastrazoids (feeding polyps), gonazoids (reproduction)
What are the common dimensions of the Portuguese Man-of-War jellyfish? 8 to 12 inches wide; upto 60 feet long.

Where is the Great Barrier Reef located? On the northeast coast of Australia.
The Great Barrier Reef is (?) miles long and (?) square miles. 1250; 80,000
What type of relationship do coral polyps have with green algae. Mutualistic; coral polyps house the algae while the algae supplies them with oxygen.
Describe class Scyphozoa. Only has medusas.
What organisms are a part of class Scyphozoa? True jellyfish and sea nettles.
