1. Phylum Porifera

2. Means “pore-bearer” Radial summetry Sessile as adults Includes sponges…not very complex (no tissues/organs/systems) Life functions take place at cell level. Outer layer of cells, inner layer of cells “jelly” in between ( mesohyl ) Some have spicules (CaCO 3 ) for support/structure.

3. Phylum Porifera Water goes in through holes in side ( ostia ) and out through the top hole ( osculum ) Cells called choanocytes (collar cells) have flagella that move the water and filter out bits of organic material Amoebocytes move the food around the mesohyl

4. Phylum Porifera Reproduce by: –regeneration (broken parts grow new ones) –budding (new one grows off of old one, eventually separates) –gemmule (when conditions bad, makes a ball of amoebocytes) –sexually by egg and sperm (hermaphroditic) swimming larva

6. Phylum Porifera

9. Phylum Cnidaria Radial symmetry A few tissues and organs Includes hydra, jellyfish, coral, sea anemones, Portuguese man of war 2 shapes during lifetime; –Medusa (bell shape, motile) –Polyp (tube shape, sessile)

10. Phylum Cnidaria Outer and inner layer of cells – epidermis … “outside skin” – gastrodermis … “stomach skin” Central gastrovascular cavity surrounded by tentacles with stinging cells ( cnidocytes ) Nerve net for body control…not a brain, but some cells that work together for motion

11. Phylum Cnidaria Classes: –Hydrozoa (polyp is adult form) Portugese Man of War, Hydra, Obelia, –Cubozoa (box jellies) –Scyphozoa (“cup animals” medusa is adult form) Sea jellies –Anthozoa (“flower animals”) Sea anemone, coral

14. Hydra (Class Hydrozoa) budding

15. Obelia (Class Hydrozoa)

16. Class Hydrozoa

17. Aurelia (Class Scyphozoa) juvenileadult

18. Sea Jelly (Class Scyphozoa)

19. Sea Jellies (Class Scyphozoa)

22. Sea Anemone (Class Anthozoa)

23. Coral (Class Anthozoa)

26. Box jelly (Class Cubozoa)

27. Box Jelly (Class Cubozoa)

29. Portugese Man of War (Class Hydrozoa)

31. Phylum Ctenophora Comb jellies Similar to sea jellies, except: –No cnidocysts on tentacles… sticky cell instead of stinging ones ( colloblasts ) –Move via cilia in rows on outside (not pulsing) – Bioluminescence : an algae symbiotically lives inside

32. Phylum Ctenophora
