Statement I: | Sponges exhibit a cellular level of organization. |
Statement II: | Cnidarians have a tissue level of organization. |
Sponges are mostly:
1. | Asymmetrical | 2. | Radially symmetrical |
3. | Bilateraly symmetrical | 4. | Biradially symmetrical |
Which of the following is not a feature of Porifera?
1. Exclusively marine animals
2. Presence of a water transport or a canal system
3. Sexes are not separate
4. Internal fertilization and indirect development
Water exits from a sponge through the:
1. | Spicule | 2. | Choanocyte |
3. | Amoebocyte | 4. | Osculum |
Body having meshwork of cell, internal cavities lined with food filtering flagellated cells and indirect development are the characteristics of phylum:
1. | Porifera | 2. | Mollusca |
3. | Protozoa | 4. | Coelenterate |
1. | Water enters the sponge body through ostia into a spongocoel from where it goes out through the osculum. |
2. | Body is supported by a skeleton made up of spicules or spongin fibres. |
3. | Sexes are not separate. |
4. | Fertilization is external. |
1. | Choanocyte and helps sponges in movement of water through their canal system |
2. | Choanocyte and helps sponges in reproducing asexually under favourable conditions |
3. | Cnidocyte and helps sponges in catching their prey by paralyzing them |
4. | Colloblast and helps sponges in sticking to a surface |
I: | Most sponges work rather like chimneys: they take in water at the bottom and eject it from the osculum ("little mouth") at the top. |
II: | The inner surface is covered with choanocytes where the wave-like motion of the whip-like flagella drives water through the sponge's body. |
