Transcription de la présentation

  1. Sponges • Section 26–2 This section explains what a sponge is. It also describes how sponges carry out essential functions.

  2. What Is a Sponge? • Sponges are placed in the phylum Porifera.

  3. What are pores, and where are pores on a sponge’s body? • Pores are tiny openings found all over a sponge’s body.

  4. What does it mean that sponges are sessile? • They live their entire adult life attached to a single spot and do not move.

  5. Why are sponges classified as animals? • They are classified as animals because they are heterotrophic, have no cell walls, and contain a few specialized cells.

  6. Form and Function in Sponges Is the following sentence true or false? Sponges have no tissues. • true

  7. What does the movement of water through a sponge provide? • It provides a simple mechanism for feeding, respiration, circulation, and excretion.

  8. Match the body part with its description. • Body Part Description • b Choanocyte a. Cell that makes spicules d Spicule b. Cell that uses flagella to move water through the sponge c Osculum c. A large hole at the top of the sponge a Archaeocyte d. A spike-shaped structure

  9. Where does digestion take place in sponges? • Digestion is intracellular. It takes place inside cells.

  10. Circle the letter of each sentence that is true about sponges. • Sponges are filter feeders. • b. Sponges reproduce only asexually.Sponges rely on water movement to carry out body functions. • d. Sponges do not have a nervous system.

  11. How do many sponges protect themselves from predators? • Many produce toxins that make them unpalatable or poisonous to potential predators.

  12. An immature stage of an organism that looks different from the adult form is called a(an) larva .

  13. Chapter 26, Sponges and Cnidarians (continued) How is a sponge larva different from the adult form? • The larvae of sponges are motile and are usually carried by currents before they settle to the sea floor.

  14. What are gemmules, and what is their role in sponge reproduction? Gemmules are groups of archaeocytes surrounded by a tough layer of spicules that can survive freezing temperatures and drought conditions that would kill adult sponges. Sponges reproduce asexually by producing gemmules.

  15. Ecology of Sponges Why do you think many sponges are colored green? They are green because symbiotic bacteria, algae, or plantlike protists are living in the sponges.

  16. What adaptation may allow sponges to survive in a wide range of habitats? • The spicules of some sponges focus and direct sunlight to cells lying below the surface of the sponge, where symbiotic organisms carry out photosynthesis.
