A New Phylum – READ, THINK, ANSWER!!
In 1995, scientists discovered a new species of organism, which they named Symbion pandora. It is not
unusual for new species to be identified. However, the discovery of S. pandora drew attention from around
the world because this strange animal did not seem to belong to any of the phyla into which scientists
classify organisms. As a result, a new phylum called Cycliophora has been proposed for S. pandora. So far,
S. pandora would be the only species belonging to this phylum. (Contrast this with the phylum Chordata,
which includes all species of reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals.)
S. pandora was discovered living on bristles that surround the mouths of Norway lobsters. It has a very
complex life cycle with several different stages. During one stage of the life cycle, the female stays
attached to the lobster’s bristles, and is about 0.35 mm in length. This stage is shown in the figure below. A
tiny male clings to this female. There are also stages in the life cycle of S. pandora when the organism
swims freely and does not feed.
Answer the following questions.
1. S. pandora is a member of the animal kingdom. What are three things that you can conclude about S.
pandora from this statement?
2. Why do you think S. pandora was not discovered until recently?
3. What are three things that you think scientists examined when determining how S. pandora should be
classified?
4. How do you think S. pandora gets food?

Identifying Bacteria
About 5,000 different kinds of bacteria inhabit Earth. Each kind can be distinguished by its characteristics.
In addition to shape, these characteristics include: whether it will grow in water hotter than 45ºC; whether
it will grow in very salty water; whether it will grow in the presence of air, whether it will grow without
air; and whether it forms endospores.
Scientists who study bacteria use these and about 15 other characteristics to identify a bacterium. The chart
below shows some of the characteristics of six common bacteria. A plus (+) sign means the bacterium has
the characteristic. A minus (-) sign means the bacterium does not have the characteristic.
Answer the following questions.
1. What characteristic(s) do all of the bacteria listed have in common?
2. How could you distinguish bacterium 1 from bacterium 2?
3. Which bacteria might be found in hot springs?
4. What characteristic(s) can you use to distinguish the three kinds of sphere-shaped bacteria from one
another?
5. Sea water is about 3.5% salt. In some places, sea water gets trapped when the tide goes out. The heat of
the sun will cause some of this water to evaporate. Which bacteria are most likely to survive in such water?
Explain your answer.

and capturing food.
14. ___________________________are of the branching, threadlike tubes that make up the bodies of
multicellular fungi.
15. _________________________is a form of asexual reproduction in yeast that does not require the
production of spores.
