| What is the jellylike substance between the endoderm and ectoderm of a jellyfish called? | mesoglea |
| Do cnidarians and sponges have true tissues? | No |
| Which phyla display bioluminescence? | ctenophora |
| Which phyla can sting? | cnidarians |
| Are cnidarians, sponges and ctenophores simple animals with none having an organ level of cellular organization? | Yes |
| What is planktonic? Which animals are recognized as planktonic carnivores? | floating organisms; jelly fish |
| Which phyla has a skeleton made of tiny, hard particles of calcium carbonate? | Porifera (sponges) |
| Which phylum defends itself by not tasting and smelling very good to larger predators? | ctenophora |
| What phyla does order physalia belong to? | cnidarians |
| Which phyla has bottom dwelling organisms that have branched tentacles and look more like sea slugs? | ctenophora |
| Which phyla has tiny pores that allow water to enter: | porifera |
| Which phyla has both a medusa and polyp stage: | cnidarians |
| Which phyla has a skeleton made of silica? | porifera |
| Be able to describe 3 differences and 3 similarities between Phyla Porifera, Cnidaria and Ctenophora. | (see Venn diagram) |
