Name _______________________ Period ___________ Date ____________________ NONCOELOMATE INVERTEBRATES (CH 32) Sponges are basal animals that lack true tissues 1. Sponges are in the phylum Porifera. This group is now known to be polyphyletic‚ and all sponges belong to either phylum Calcarea or phylum Silicea. They are the simplest animals and lack true tissues. Label the following: pores‚ spongocoel‚ epidermis‚ amoebocytes‚ choanocyte‚ flagellum‚ spicules‚ epidermis‚ and mesohyl.

Porifera? Porifera is a phylum under the kingdom of Animalia. Porifera is the oldest phylum in this kingdom and has been around for the last 600 million years. The most common organism in this phylum is sponges. Porifera comes from the Latin words porus (pore) and ferre (bear)‚ meaning "pore-bearer". This is a reference to the numerous holes (pores) on the sponge ’s surface. Characteristics of Porifera All organisms belonging to the phylum Porifera; Have no definite symmetry Have

NEWLY DISCOVERED DEEP-SEA MARINE CARNIVOROUS SPONGE Phylum Porifera is considered as a simplest form of animal consisting of sponges. Many families under this phylum have distinctive characteristics specifically feeding processes that help them become successful in terms of adaptation and survival despite of being simple and some are smaller compared to other marine organisms. A new species of carnivorous sponge (Phylum Porifera) have been discovered in the coast of Namibia particularly in the

This sponge is in the Kingdom of Animalia‚ Phylum of Porifera‚ Class of Demosphongiae‚ Order of Verongida‚ Family of Aplysinidae‚ Genus of Aplysina‚ and Species of A. archeri. This sponge gets its name from its cylindrical shape and long tube like structure. It can grow up to 150 cm long with diameter

M.fasciatus biodiversity issues and conservation The banded anteater (Myrmecobius Fasciatus) is a small marsupial found only in Australia. The M.fasciatus has pale fur on the underbelly and coarse reddish-brown fur above on the back which is darkest on the rump refer to figure 1 (Sydenham‚ 2012). There are four to eleven noticeable white stripes across the back between the shoulders and tail (|The Western Australian Education‚ 2013). The reason for the stripes is that it projects as an effective

Phylum Annelida L. annelleus = little ring Annelida have bodies consisting of many essentially similar ringlike segments (somites or metameres).This segmentation usually shows in both external and internal features‚ including muscles‚ nerves‚ and circulatory‚ excretory and reproductive organs. Phylum Annelida This phylum is divided into three classes: Oligochaeta: Earthworms - Most earthworms and their equals are inhabitants of damp soil and fresh waters. Hirudinea: Leeches - The leeches

Phylum Echinodermata Introduction • Means “spiny skin” in Greek • Echinoderms are found at every ocean depth‚ from the intertidal zone to the abyssal zone. The phylum contains about 6500-7000 living species‚ making it the second-largest grouping of deuterostomes (a superphylum)‚ after the chordates. • Echinoderms are also the largest phylum that has no freshwater or terrestrial (land-based) representatives. Defining characteristics: • A complex series of fluid-filled canals

Phylum Chordata • The chordates occupy the highest position in the food chain. • The name phylum was derived from the characteristic which all chordates share‚ the notochord – a long‚ elongated‚ and flexible cartilaginous structure that runs the entire length of the body. (Gr. noto = the back; chorde = string) Characteristics: • A dorsal nerve cord located above the notochord‚ it runs the entire length of the body. The nerve cord is a bundle of nerve fibers that connects the
