Concept 33.1: Sponges are basal animals that lack true tissues Animals in the phylum Porifera are known informally as sponges They are sedentary and live in marine waters or fresh water © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 33.UN01 Porifera Cnidaria Lophotrochozoa Ecdysozoa Deuterostomia

Sponges are suspension feeders, capturing food particles suspended in the water that passes through their body Water is drawn through pores into a cavity called the spongocoel and out through an opening called the osculum Sponges lack true tissues and organs © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 33.4c Flagellum Collar Food particles in mucus Choanocyte Amoebocyte Phagocytosis of food particles

Choanocytes, flagellated collar cells, generate a water current through the sponge and ingest suspended food Sponges consist of a gelatinous noncellular mesohyl layer between two cell layers Amoebocytes are found in the mesohyl and play roles in digestion and structure Most sponges are hermaphrodites: Each individual functions as both male and female © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Concept 33.2: Cnidarians are an ancient phylum of eumetazoans All animals except sponges and a few other groups belong to the clade Eumetazoa, animals with true tissues Phylum Cnidaria is one of the oldest groups in this clade © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 33.UN02 Porifera Cnidaria Lophotrochozoa Ecdysozoa Deuterostomia Eumetazoa

Cnidarians have diversified into a wide range of both sessile and motile forms including jellies, corals, and hydras They exhibit a relatively simple diploblastic, radial body plan The basic body plan of a cnidarian is a sac with a central digestive compartment, the gastrovascular cavity A single opening functions as mouth and anus © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

There are two variations on the body plan: the sessile polyp and motile medusa A polyp adheres to the substrate by the aboral end of its body A medusa has a bell-shaped body with its mouth on the underside Medusae do not attach to the substate but move freely © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 33.5 Mouth/anus Tentacle Gastrovascular cavity Gastrodermis Mesoglea Epidermis Tentacle Mouth/anus MedusaPolyp Body stalk

Cnidarians are carnivores that use tentacles to capture prey The tentacles are armed with cnidocytes, unique cells that function in defense and capture of prey Nematocysts are specialized organelles within cnidocytes that eject a stinging thread © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 33.6 Tentacle Cuticle of prey Nematocyst “Trigger” Thread (coiled) Cnidocyte Thread discharges Thread

Phylum Cnidaria is divided into four major classes –Hydrozoa –Scyphozoa –Cubozoa –Anthozoa © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Scyphozoans In the class Scyphozoa, jellies (medusae) are the prevalent form of the life cycle © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Cubozoans In the class Cubozoa, which includes box jellies and sea wasps, the medusa is box-shaped and has complex eyes Cubozoans often have highly toxic cnidocytes © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Anthozoans Class Anthozoa includes the corals and sea anemones, and these cnidarians occur only as polyps Corals often form symbioses with algae and secrete a hard external skeleton © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Concept 33.3: Lophotrochozoans, a clade identified by molecular data, have the widest range of animal body forms Bilaterian animals have bilateral symmetry and triploblastic development Most have a coelom and a digestive tract with two openings The clade Bilateria contains Lophotrochozoa, Ecdysozoa, and Deuterostomia © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 33.UN03 Porifera Cnidaria Lophotrochozoa Ecdysozoa Deuterostomia Bilateria

The clade Lophotrochozoa was identified by molecular data Some develop a lophophore for feeding, others pass through a trochophore larval stage, and a few have neither feature Lophotrochozoa includes the flatworms, rotifers, ectoprocts, brachiopods, molluscs, and annelids © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Flatworms Members of phylum Platyhelminthes live in marine, freshwater, and damp terrestrial habitats Although flatworms undergo triploblastic development, they are acoelomates They are flattened dorsoventrally and have a gastrovascular cavity with one opening Gas exchange takes place across the surface, and protonephridia regulate the osmotic balance © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Flatworms are divided into two lineages –Catenulida, or “chain worms,” reproduce asexually by budding –Rhabditophora are more diverse and include both free-living and parasitic species © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

The best-known rhabditophorans are planarians Planarians live in fresh water and prey on smaller animals Planarians have light-sensitive eyespots and centralized nerve nets © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Free-Living Species

The planarian nervous system is more complex and centralized than the nerve nets of cnidarians Planarians are hermaphrodites and can reproduce sexually, or asexually through fission © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Parasitic Species Parasitic rhabditophorans live in or on other animals Two important groups of parasitic rhabditophorans are the trematodes and the tapeworms © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Trematodes Trematodes parasitize a wide range of hosts, and most have complex life cycles with alternating sexual and asexual stages Trematodes that parasitize humans spend part of their lives in snail hosts They produce surface proteins that mimic their host and release molecules that manipulate the host’s immune system © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 33.11a Mature flukes Female 1 mm Male

Tapeworms Tapeworms are parasites of vertebrates and lack a digestive system Tapeworms absorb nutrients from the host’s intestine © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

The scolex contains suckers and hooks for attaching to the host Proglottids are units that contain sex organs and form a ribbon behind the scolex Fertilized eggs, produced by sexual reproduction, leave the host’s body in feces © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Rotifers Rotifers, phylum Rotifera, are tiny animals that inhabit fresh water, the ocean, and damp soil Rotifers are smaller than many protists but are truly multicellular and have specialized organ systems © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure Jaws Crown of cilia 0.1 mm Stomach Anus

Rotifers have an alimentary canal, a digestive tube with a separate mouth and anus that lies within a fluid-filled pseudocoelom Rotifers reproduce by parthenogenesis, in which females produce offspring from unfertilized eggs Some species are unusual in that they lack males entirely © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Lophophorates: Ectoprocts and Brachiopods Lophophorates have a lophophore, a crown of ciliated tentacles around their mouth Lophophorates have a true coelom Lophophorates include two phyla: Ectoprocta and Brachiopoda © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Ectoprocts (also called bryozoans) are sessile colonial animals that superficially resemble plants A hard exoskeleton encases the colony, and some species are reef builders © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure (a) Ectoprocts, colonial lophophorates Lophophore (b) Lampshell, a brachiopod

Figure 33.14a (a) Ectoprocts, colonial lophophorates Lophophore

Brachiopods superficially resemble clams and other hinge-shelled molluscs, but the two halves of the shell are dorsal and ventral rather than lateral as in clams Brachiopods are marine and attach to the seafloor by a stalk © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 33.14b Lophophore (b) Lampshell, a brachiopod

Molluscs Phylum Mollusca includes snails and slugs, oysters and clams, and octopuses and squids Most molluscs are marine, though some inhabit fresh water and some snails and slugs are terrestrial Molluscs are soft-bodied animals, but most are protected by a hard shell © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

All molluscs have a similar body plan with three main parts –Muscular foot –Visceral mass –Mantle Many molluscs also have a water-filled mantle cavity and feed using a rasplike radula © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure Nephridium Visceral mass Heart Coelom Mantle cavity Anus Gill Gonads Heart Intestine Stomach Shell Radula Mouth Esophagus Nerve cords Foot Digestive tract Mouth Radula

Most molluscs have separate sexes with gonads located in the visceral mass, but many snails are hermaphrodites The life cycle of many molluscs includes a ciliated larval stage called a trochophore © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Four of the major classes of molluscs are –Polyplacophora (chitons) –Gastropoda (snails and slugs) –Bivalvia (clams, oysters, and other bivalves) –Cephalopoda (squids, octopuses, cuttlefish, and chambered nautiluses) © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Chitons Chitons are oval-shaped marine animals encased in an armor of eight dorsal plates They use their foot like a suction cup to grip rock, and their radula to scrape algae off the rock surface © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 33.16

Gastropods About three-quarters of all living species of molluscs are gastropods © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 33.17a (a) A land snail

Figure 33.17b (b) A sea slug (nudibranch)

Most gastropods are marine, but many are freshwater and terrestrial species The most distinctive characteristic of gastropods is torsion, which causes the animal’s anus and mantle to end up above its head; torsion is different from the coiling of a shell Most have a single, spiraled shell Slugs lack a shell or have a reduced shell © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
