Lophophorate
BIOL2204 Lophophorates
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| P. Bryozoan Colonies | sessile zooid colony (regularly arranged, repeated compartments). Can be encrusting or erect, each zooid has a lophophore. Chitinous/calcerous exoskeleton |
| P. Bryozoan digestion and reproduction | u-shaped full gut, asexual budding, sexual hermaphrodite |
| How do lophophore work? | beating cilia generate water currents that bring nutrients. Cilia then transport suspended particles towards mouth (centre of lophophore) |
| P. Bryozoan connection | joined by the body wall and communicate through the funicular system |
| P. Phoronida | sedentary, suspension feeding worms (unsegmented) |
| P. Phoronida body structure | posterior trunk inside chitinous tube, anterior trunk + lophophores extend from tube |
| P. Phoronida digestive system | u-shaped gut, separate mouth (inside tentacles) and anus (outside tentacles) |
| P. Brachiopoda structure | bilateral symmetry, pedicule, ventral valve (larger) and dorsal valve (smaller), separate sexes |
| Inarticulate vs articulate | inarticulate = valves hinged with muscles articulate = valves hinged with articulating teeth |
| Label P. Brachiopoda internal diagram | Well done! |
