The World of Animals
2
I. Life evolved in the oceans A. Least stressful environment B. Moderating temperature C. Closest to osmotic properties D. Buoyancy not a problem E. Gametes can be released with no problem F. Abundant food
3
II. Parazoa-Sponges (Porifera) A. Introduction 1.do not possess true tissues 2.cell layers are loose associations 3.if you take a sponge and pass it through a screen-it can reassemble 4.layers are dependent upon one another-but not as dependent as higher levels 5.very sessile organisms 6.lack muscles, nerves-individual cells can react to the environment
4
B. Body Plan 1. epidermis with porocytes 2. mesohyl with amoebocytes 3. Inner cell layer with choanocytes
6
4. Endoskeleton of spicules a. some spicules are calcium carbonate b. some spicules are proteinaceous c. found in mesohyl d. can be used to classify sponge
7
5. Choanocytes power the sponge a. 275 gallons needed to produce three ounces of new sponge b. Flagella creates water currents c. Microvilli filter water as it comes through
8
6. Osculum and spongocoel
9
C. Reproduction of sponge 1. asexual fragmentation 2. production of gemmules 3. sexual reproduction- hermaphroditic
10
III. Cnidarians or Coelenterates
11
A. Basic body plan 1. diploblastic 2. gastrovascular cavity 3. radial symmetry 4. tentacles 5. cnidoblasts 6. mesoglea 7. two basic forms- polyp and medusa
