Hydrozoa
Scyphozoa
Cubozoa
Anthozoa
Staurozoa
Term
What are the two different forms a cnidarian can be?
Definition
medusa and polyp
Term
What is Mesoglea?
Definition
Gelatinous layer that lies between body layers in a cnidarian. buoyant and supports the body.
Term
Describe polyps
Definition
Sessile, tubular, and mouth leads to a blind gut
Term
Do polyps reproduce sexually or asexually?
Definition
asexually (budding, fission, or pedal laceration)
Term
Are medusa sessile or free-swimming?
Definition
Free-swimming
Term
What is a velum and what animals have them?
Definition
It increases exit velocity of H2O
found in medusae Cnidarians
Term
Do Cnidarians have a sensory stuctures?
Definition
yes, Medusae have a nerve ring at the base of the bell
Term
Describe the life cycle of Cnidarians
Definition
Zygote -> Motile plantula larva -> sessile polyp -> free-swimming medusa (produced asexually) -> medusa reproduce sexually to produce a zygote---->repeat
Term
Are medusa monoecious or dioecious?
Definition
Dioecious
Term
What are the functions of the body layers in Cnidarians?
Definition
Inner layer- functions in digestion
Outer layer- may contain cnidocytes with nematocysts.
Term
Where do Polyps get their food?
Definition
Carnivorous, catch prey with tentacles and pass into gastrovascular cavity.
Term
Where do medusae get their food?
Definition
Carnivorous, capture prey with tentacles and pass into mouth.
