Question | Answer |
The proper scientific name for roundworms... what is means if you look at the word origin | Nematoda or they are called nematodes.... similar to thread |
Describe the quantity of roundworms in the world? | they are abundant... a spadeful of garden soil can contain 1 million roundworms. they are in marine and freshwater, on land, and are parasites in plants and animals |
What does porifera mean | pore bearing... name for the many holes found in their body to help filter feeding |
what are examples of the phylum porifera | sponges ( both marine and freshwater) |
what type of symmetry is common in porifera | our text calls them asymmetrical ( no balance, no symmetry, irregular).. some can be radial if they are a single sponge ( the barrel sponges could be radial)... think of them mostly as asymmetrical |
Do porifera have tissues explain | they do not have true tissues ... they do have two layers of independent cells with jelly like layer between the two layers... some of the cells are epithelial, some collar cells, and some that wander like amoebas, |
What are two important features when you are talking about porifera digestion | they filter feed... the nutrients in the water enter the sponge through the pores and are digested by individual cells called collar cells ... wastes exit the sponge back into the water |
What are the porifera called since they are attached to one spot and do not move as adults ( the larva are free swimming) | sessile |
what are the support structures of Porifera called . they can be made of different materials and are often small and needlelike | spicules |
How were the Cnidarians named? | for their stinging cells that help them capture prey |
Give 3 examples of Cnidarians | jellyfish, sea anemone, and coral |
What type of symmetry is found in Cnidarians. | radial |
Describe the tissues of Cnidarians | they have two tissue layers. They are the first animals to have true tissues |
where do the Cnidarians digest their food and how many openings are in their digestive system | they have a gastrovascular cavity ( a cavity that has digestive enzymes released into the area for digestion). they only have one opening ( their mouth also acts as the exit point) |
What are the two body forms of cnidarians and give and example of each | A polyp ... has the tentacles and mouth on the dorsal side ( top), and an example is the sea anemone, A medusa has the tentacles and mouth on the ventral side ( bottom)... a jellyfish is the example of a medusa... |

What is a little flatworm the lives in freshwater and is free-living and famous for its ability to regenerate parts ( a form of asexual reproduction) | planaria |
What is the flatworm's claim to fame in evolution history | it is the first animals with bilateral symmetry ( this means it also has to have 3 tissue layers) |
How are the flatworms similar to the cnidarian as far as digestion | they only have one opening the mouth is also the exit point... and they have a digestive cavity ( gastrovascular cavity). |
Flatworms resemble a ? ( they are very thin) and the must use ? to moves gases, nutrients and wastes since they don't have circulatory or respiratory structures | ribbon, and they use diffusion to move gases and nutrients |
Who has proglottids and what are they? | tapeworms have proglottids. they are little sections behind the head that get full of eggs and drop off and are in the feces getting into the environment to infect a new host animal |
discuss the body cavities of various animal groups... flatworms, roundworms, mollusks, annelids, arthropods, echinoderms, chordates | flatworms do not have a body cavity. ( acoelomate), roundworms have a partial body cavity ( pseudocoelomate) and the mollusks, annelids, arthropods, echnoderms, and chordates are all animals with a true body cavity with more room for more compex systems |
what is true about the digestion in roundworms | they were the first to have two openings in their digestive tract ( mouth and anus). called one way digestion |
What two worm groups depend on diffusion to move nutreints and gases ( no circulatory or respiratory organs) | flatworms and roundworms |

elephantiasis ( swelling of the legs etc when the lymph flow gets blocked by the worms)... also cause of heartworm in cats and dogs ... a type of roundworm | filiarial worms |
Who was the first animal with a true body cavity called a coelom ( remember this allows more comples tissues and organs | mollusk |
What are the 3 parts of a mollusk body plan | soft body with a two opening digestive tract, a muscular foot , and a mantle |
what is a mantle in a mollusk | it is a membrane around the organs of the mollusk. If the mollusk has a shell... the mantle secretes the calcium carbonate shell |
what do most mollusks use for respiration.. Do they have other organ systems | use gills for respiration, and they do have other systems ( digestion, circulation, and excretion |

What is special about the digestion of bivalves? | they are filter feeders and don't have a radula |
What are cephalopods. describe with examples | they are head-footed mollusks ( their foot became their arms or tentacles with suckers).. examples are squid, octopus, chambered nautilus, and cuttlefish)... some have shells and others don't... |
Describe three ways that octopus have protection in their environment | they expel water to propel away from the threat ... and they shoot out an ink cloud .. they can also change color to blend into surroundings |
Give 3 examples of annelids | earthworms, marine worms ( bristle worms and fanworms), and leeches |
