Invertebrates - Background
•
Kingdom Animalia
•
97% of all animal species are
invertebrates
II. Phylum Porifera (Sponges)
•
Simplest multicellular animals
•
Most are marine (~9000 species)
•
sessile (attached to substrate)
•
Diversity of shapes, sizes, colors,
habitats
•Cellular organization-complex
aggregation of specialized cells
•No true tissues/organs, cells largely
independent from each other
•No organs, movable parts,
appendages
•Thus, cells are plastic, can change
from one type to another
Fig. 7.2
Shapes:
Tiny cups, broad branches, tall vases, encrusting round masses
II.
Phylum Porifera (Sponges)-Gr. “pore-bearers”
Complex sponge
many chambers, oscula
Simple sponge
1 chamber, 1 osculum
Body Plan (Structure)- Asymmetrical
Ostia – water enters-pumped through these pores
Choanocytes – Collar cells; line chambers
Beat flagella to pump water through sponge
traps food particles
Osculum – water exits (driven by collar cells acting in synch)
Spongin – Elastic protein (spongy texture)
Spicules – Calcareous or siliceous structures, structural support, discourage predators
Amebocytes (wandering cells)– Secrete spongin and spicules, transport and store food
particles, transform into other types of cells, repair
Water-OUT
through osculum
