1
Class Anthozoa polyp body form ONLY all marine
some contain zooxanthellae
2
Class Anthozoa some are colonial
colonies are formed of individual zooids some are solitary
3
Class Anthozoa- life cycle
Sexual reproduction sperm egg larva
4
Class Anthozoa- life cycle
asexual reproduction fission pedal laceration fission
5
Class Anthozoa Sea anemones
9
Class Anthozoa Soft Corals Sea pen Sea pansy
11
Class Anthozoa Stony Corals
12
The Corals Make up the largest group of Anthozoa Colonial
Secrete skeleton of calcium carbonate Cup shaped Polyp is fixed to this
13
Theca Sclerosepta
16
Fungia spp. Disk Corals
17
Phylum Ctenophora Ch 9
18
Characteristics of Ctenophora
Diploblastic: with ectoderm and entoderm separated by a cellular mesenchyme. Biradial symmetry with the body axis being oral-aboral. Gastrovascular cavity with complete gut (mouth, gut, two anal openings). No type of bodycavity.
19
Ctenes of comb row
20
Ctenes of comb row
21
Comb Jellies Phylum Ctenophora are the larges animals known to rely primarily on cilia for locomotion.
22
Macrocilia
23
Life Cycle Gametes fuse in open water.
egg sperm Gametes fuse in open water. Hermaphroditic adults release gametes. Pelagic cydippid larva.
24
Feeding Feed with specialized cells called colloblasts or lasso cells.
A few species have cnidocytes.
25
Colloblasts on ctenophore tentacles
26
Figure 9.6 page 277 colloblasts

Figure 9.7 page 278 Kelptocnidae
28
Ph. Ctenophora Cl. Nuda Cl. Tentaculata ctene row Deiopea kaloktenota
Pleurobrachia sp. Coeloplana sp. Cestus sp.
29
Bioluminescence Produce light using photocytes
Located in the walls of the digestive system Appears that light is coming from comb rows NOT all produce luminescence
30
Big Picture The radiate phyla are the first (i.e. basal) Metazoans
Most have a dimorphic life cycle Specialized structures the Cnidocytes Some such as corals secrete a calcium carbonate base Ctenophores produce bioluminescence
