Porifera/Cnidaria

QuestionAnswer
General Characteristics of Kingdom Animalia Eukaryotic, multicellular, no cell walls, and movement
Kingdom Animalia symmetry asymmetric, raidal and bilateral
Tissue organization cellular, tissue, organs and organ systems
Phylum Porifera 100,000 species mostly marine, invertebrates, sessile filter feeders, solitary/colonial, bridge between protists and animals
Skeleton of Porifera spicules and spongin
Spicules in the skeleton used for structure and protection
Spongin collagen fibers
Spongocoel hollow opening where water fills in and out
Chanocute flagellated cells that line spongocoel; filter for food
Amoebacytes digestive cells
Osculum opening at the top of the spongocoel
Three levels of complexity in Porifera asconoid, leuconoid and syconoid
asconoid simple, little surface area
Syconoid more complex with chambers which increase surface area
Leuconoid most complex with many many chambers which dramatically increases surface area which allows for better absorption
Class Calcarea Phylum Porifera, Calcium carbonate spicules which are 3-4 rays, contain all three levels of body complexity, found in shallow coastal waters
Class Hexactinellida Phylum Porifera, 6 base rays, silica or glass spicules, can be shaped like a cup vase or urn, body structure is either syconoid or leuconoid
Class Demospongia Phylum Porifera, never have 6 rays, spongin fibers siliceous spicules or a combo of both, all leuconoid, includes the 'bath' sponge Spongia
Pirufera Reproduction Sexual-hermaroditic, Asexual-fragmentation or gennules (fresh water)
Phylum Cnidaria organization: tissue level no organalles, diploblastic (two germ issues), radial, life cyle: polymorphic polyp and medusa
Epidermis for protection
Gastrodermis for digestion
Class Hydrozoa polyp predominant includes: hydras and Obelia
Obelia Phylum Cnidaria Class Hydrozoa, colonial, attach to substrates, medusa stage is sexual, polyp produces new medusae asexually, has two types of polyps feeding and reproductive
Hydra Phylum Cnidaria Class Hydrozoa found in shallow freshwater ponds, use stinging cnidocytes to capture prey, lack a medusa stage
Gastrozooids feeding polyp of Obelia
Gonozooids reproductive polyp of Obelia
Pysalia Phylum Cnidaria Class Hydrozoa, commonly known as the Portuguese man-of-war, floating colony of highly integrated polymorphic polyps and medusoids, tentacles are armed with cnidocytes
Class Cyphozoa Phylum Cnidaria, commonly refereed to as jellyfish, life cycle that emphasizes the medusa over polyp
Aurelia Phylum Cnidaria Class Cyphozoa
Class Anthozoa Phylum Cnidaria, represented by sea-anemones and corals, express only polyp,
