________ sponges are small, simple forms with a tube-shaped body.
Asconoid
________ sponges also have a tubular body and whose wall is much thicker and highly folded into a series of incurrent canals that deliver water into radial canals lined with choanocytes.
Syconoid
_________ sponges have the most complex organization, which permits for an increase in body size. Clusters of flagellated chambers are filled from incurrent canals and discharge their water via excurrent canals into a central osculum.
Leuconoid
___________ are cells that line the spongocoel of Asconoid sponges that contain a central flagellum surrounded by a collar of microvilli. The flagellums beat regularly, creating a water flow across the microvilli, which can then filter nutrients and other food from the water taken from the collar of the sponge. The cell then phagocytoses food particles.
Choanocytes
________ are skeletal structures that occur in most sponges. They provide structural support, as well as deterrence against predators.
Spicules
_______ is a type of collagen protein that forms the fibrous skeleton of most organisms among the sponges.
Spongin
The ___________ is the large, central cavity of sponges. Water enters into this cavity through hundreds of tiny pores (Ostia) and exits through the larger opening (osculum)
Spongocoel
The ______ is an excretory structure in the living sponge, a large opening to the outside through which the current of water exits after passing through the spongocoel.
Osculum
The ______ _____ opens into the spongocoel by way of the apopyle.
Radial Canal
The _________ ______ opens to the exterior by the dermal ostia.
Incurrent Canal
_____________ _____ are fertilized eggs(in genus <u>sycon<u/>, but not specific to(uncommon to most sponges)), after undergoing early cleavage in the mesohyl that develop into little blastula-like embryos.
Amphiblastula Larva
________ are the overwintering stage of freshwater sponges of family Spongillidae, are composed of masses of living amebocytes enclosed within a tough, highly resistant shell. Are found in freshwater sponges and are the result of asexual reproduction (budding), and resemble round, food-filled balls. These have a protective coat composed of spicules and organic matter. They are resistant to desiccation (drying out), freezing, and anoxia (lack of oxygen) and can lie around for long periods of time. When conditions improve, these give rise to an adult Sponge.
Gemmules
The ________ opens to the spongocoel by this way.
Apopyle
The ______ _____ opens into the exterior passing, leading from the incurrent canals.
Dermal Ostia
Water passes from incurrent canals into radial canals through a number of tiny pores called this.
Prosopyles
Class Calcarea soponges contain spicules composed of _______ _________.
calcium carbonate
The spicules of calcium carbonate are within Class Calcarea sponges are ____ or ____ rayed.
three or four
Class Hexactinellida sponges contain spicules composed of ________ material.
siliceous
Class Demospongiae sponges contain spicules composed of ________ material.
silaceous
The spicules of Class Hexactinellida are ___ rayed.
six
The sponges of Class Calcarea have canal systems ________, ________, or _________.
leuconoid, syconoid, or asconoid
The sponges of Class Hexactinellida have canal sytems of _________, or ________.
leuconoid, or syconoid
The sponges of Class Demospongiae have canal systems of _________.
leuconoid
Of the three classes studied, Class ____________ is the only one found in freshwater.
Demospongiae
A specimen of Genus <u>Eupectella</u> belongs to class ______________.
Hexactinellida
A specimen of Genus Euplectella has either a ________ or _________ canal system.
leuconoid or syconoid
The common name for a specimen of Genus Euplectella is _____ ______.
glass sponge
The sponge that goes by the common name of Venus Flower Basket belongs to Genus __________.
<u>Euplectella<u/>
The specimen of genus <u>Leucosolenia</u> belongs to Class ________.
Calcarea
The Genus <u>Sycon (syn.) Scypha<u/> belongs to Class ________.
Calcarea
The Genus <u>Grantia<u/> belongs to Class ________.
Calcarea
The Genus <u>Grantia, Sycon, and Scypha<u/> have a ________ canal system.
syconoid
The specimen of genus <u>Leucosolenia</u> has a ________ canal system.
asconoid
Many sponges are _________ and therefore fertilize often within its own mesohyl as a means of sexual reproduction.
monoecious
Choanocytes line the spongocoel in this canal system type.
asconoid
Choanocytes are in radial canals off spongocoel in this canal system type.
syconoid
Choanocytes are in chambers off of the radial canals in this canal system type.
leuconoid
