Question
Answer
Hallmarks of Multicellularity   Specialization of cells and the cooperation of these cells to maintain life  
🗑
Closest living ancestor to animals   Choanoflagellates  
🗑
What is required to achieve cooperation of cells   Cell adhesion and cell communication  
🗑
Cell adhesion   Cells must adhere to one another, requires genes for cell adhesion proteins  
🗑
Why do choanoflagellates have genes needed for multicellularity?   These genes are probably used to stick to surfaces and capture prey but then were repurposed by evolution to perform the functions of cell adhesion and communication in multicelluar animals  
🗑
Cell Communication   Required in order for cells to cooperate, requires genes for signaling proteins and protein receptors  
🗑
Evolution of multicellularity   Multicellularity has evolved many times independently (convergent evolution)  
🗑
Sponges   Multicellular, no tissues, no organs, no organ system; cells is the highest unit in proifera- "pore bearers"  
🗑
Spongocoel   The central, open cavity in a sponge through which water flows  
🗑
Osculum   A large opening in a sponge through which water flows out of the sponge. Sponges may have more than one oscula.  
🗑
Choanocyte   Line the inner cavity of the sponge; have a sticky, funnel-shaped collar that collects food particles and a flagellum to pump water through the sponge. The sponge obtains its nutrients and oxygen by processing flowing water  
🗑
Porocyte   Cells with pores that allow water into the sponge; they are located all over the sponge's body  
🗑
Mesohyl   The gelatinous layer between the outer body of the sponge and the spongocoel  
🗑
Spicule   Sharp spikes (made of calcium carbonate) located in the mesohyl; form the "skeleton" of many sponges  
🗑
Amoebocyte   Digests food particles and distributes them  
🗑
Symmetry   Asymmetry; asconoids and syconoid sponges have radial symmetry  
🗑
Sponges are sessile   Immobile  
🗑
Basic tasks of staying alive   Get nutrients (glucose, amino acids, fatty acids) to cells, get rid of indigestible material= ingestion, digestion, absorption elimination. Circulation, gas exchange, excretion, nerve and muscle, and reproduction  
🗑
Leucenoids   Most surface area= more choanocytes so can grow bigger in size from nutrients  
🗑
Asconoids   Cannot increase in size, because theres a smaller surface area and therefore less choanocytes  
🗑
Sponges need to get rid of...   Ammonia  
🗑
Sponges are vulnerable to   Attacks by predators, being crowded by other organisms competing for space on reefs, being overgrown which affects water flow, infection by pathogenic microorganisms  
🗑
Sponge's Defense   Spicules and chemical toxins  
🗑
Porifera Reproduction   Individual sponge produces egg and sperm. Sperm are released and enter another sponge where it fertilizes an egg. A larva develops and is carried out by the water current; it settles down on a surface and develops into an adult sponge  
🗑
Sponges are dependent on ____ for staying alive   Water flow  
🗑
Gas exchange and excretion between cells and environment   Each cell is on a surface (single layer) so they're all touching seawater; gases and wastes can diffuse across cell membranes  
🗑
Parazoa   Only living animals in this clade are sponges  
🗑
Focus using 4x objective and 10x objective   Coarse focus knob  
🗑
As objective moves up, working distance _____   Decreases  
🗑
Focus using 40x objective   Fine focus knob  
🗑
Preferable way to adjust light   Diaphragm  
🗑
What are tardigrades?   Eukaryotic, multicellular, heterotroph that ingests food... animal!  
🗑
Microvilli   Capture small particles  
🗑
Working Distance   The distance between the objective that is in place and the slide  
🗑
The ocular lenses have a magnifying power of   10x  
🗑
Total magnification of micrscope =   Ocular power (10x) times Objective power (4x, 10x, or 40x)  
🗑
Depth of Field   The range of depth that a specimen is in acceptable focus; as magnification increases, depth of field decreases  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
