Question | Answer |
---|---|
Kingdom Animalia | A. multicellular heterotrophs B. no cell walls C. monophyletic group (evolved from ancestral protist like modern choanoflagellates) |
Morula | solid ball of cells. follows the zygote stage |
Blastula | the morula becomes hollow |
Gastrula | ball folds in to form a hollow sac with one opening, the blastopore. becomes the gut |
Blastospore | becomes the mouth or anus |
Subkingdom Parazoa – Phylum Porifera | the sponges. Asymmetrical. Loose Confederation of cells. Most are marine. Free-swimming Larvae. Sessile Adults. Filter Feeders |

Osculum | the large pore through with water leaves the sponger after being filtered |
Choanocytes | flagellated collar cells that move water using their flagellae |
Spicules | skeleton of sponge made of calcium carbonate and sillica |
Spongin | protein that supports the body of some sponges |
