Sponges, Cnidarians, and Ctenophores Chapter 33
Phylum Porifera Section 33. 1
Phylum Porifera Latin for “Pore-Bearing” Asymmetric Body Structure
Sponges • Aquatic animals • Represent transition from unicellular to multicellular life • No true tissue or organs • 5, 000 species (most marine) • Various colors, shapes, sizes, etc. • Adults are sessile
Sponge Body Plan: • Two layers of cells separated by mesohyl (jellylike substance) • Body wall forms a hollow cylinder that is open at the top
More Sponge Parts: • Choanocytes (collar cells): flagellated cells that draw water into the sponge • Ostia (pores): pores that penetrate the body wall that allow water into the sponge • Osculum: opening at the top of the sponge
Sponge Support System • Simple skeleton made up of spongin and/or spicules • Spongin: tough, flexible protein fibers • Spicules: tiny, hard particles of calcium carbonate or silicon dioxide • shaped like spikes Spicules Spongin
Sponge Anatomy
Feeding & Digestion Filter feeders of plankton and other small organisms Steps in feeding & digestion: 1. Choanocytes beat & draw water into ostia • Then collect food from water 2. Nutrients pass from choanocytes to amoebocytes • Crawling cells that deliver nutrients to rest of the body 3. Wastes and CO 2 diffuse into the water and goes out the osculum video
Water Flow: Video
Asexual Reproduction • Regeneration: • regrowth of missing cells • Budding: • sometimes the bud breaks off the parent and becomes a new organism • or it may remain attached to the parent and develop into a sponge colony
Environment gone bad? Gemmules: food filled ball of amebocytes protected by protein & spicules • Can survive harsh conditions • Similar to endospore of bacteria
Sexual Reproduction 1. Sperm of one sponge enters pores of a different sponge 2. Choanocytes engulf the sperm 3. Sperm transferred to ameobcytes 4. Then transferred to egg in mesohyl 5. Egg is fertilized 6. Swimming larva leaves the sponge and settles on an object to become an adult video
Hermaphrodites • Why doesn’t self-fertilization usually occur in an hermaphroditic species? • Answer: • Less genetic diversity thus less of a change to survive an environmental change (evolution would not occur as much)

Cnidaria & Ctenophora Section 33. 2
Phylum Cnidaria
General Characteristics: • Radial symmetry • Have tissues and simple organs • Aquatic (mostly marine)
Phylum Cnidaria
Body Plans: • Medusa: bell-shaped specialized for swimming • Polyp: vase-shaped specialized for sessile living
More Body Parts: • Two cell layers: • Epidermis: outer layer • Gastrodermis: inner layer • Mesoglea: • jellylike material between two layers
Continued… • Gastrovascular cavity: center of body with a hollow gut and mouth • Tentacles: flexible extensions surrounding the mouth • Moves food in
Feeding & Defense: • Cnidocytes: specialized cells used for defense and capturing prey • Gives the phylum its name! • Nematocyst: organelle within cnidocyte with a long filament and a poison tip • Trigger response Video
Nervous System: • Nerve net: diffused web of interconnected nerve cells • No brain • No cephalization • Can respond to stimuli • Nerve net contractile cell contraction of whole body • Can control swimming & feeding
Classification: Four classes: 1. Class Hydrozoa 2. Class Cubozoa 3. Class Scyphozoa 4. Class Anthozoa
Class Hydrozoa: • Colonial organisms (combo of polyp & medusa form) • Each organism has a specialized function for the colony • Exception: hydras – only polyps, NOT colonial • Examples: Portuguese man-of-war, hydra, and Obelia Video
Class Cubozoa: • Commonly known as box jellies • Cube shaped medusa • Some have cnidocytes that can cause death to humans • Example: Sea wasps
Class Scyphozoa: • Commonly known as jellyfish • The medusa form is dominant • Some have poisonous nemotocytes that can cause pain and death
• Biotechnology with Jellies video
Class Anthozoa: • Meaning: flower animals Nemo! • Dominant form = polyp • Examples: coral & sea anemone • Some have symbiotic relationships with other species: • Coral with algae • Sea anemone with clownfish Coral And Algae
Phylum Ctenophora Video
Distinguishing Characteristics: • Meaning: comb holder • Commonly called comb jellies • Move by beating cilia • Contain colloblasts that secrete a sticky substance that blinds prey • Do not have cnidocytes (like other jellies)
Continued… • Apical organ: sensory structure that determines orientation in the water • Bioluminescence: production of light through chemical reactions
