Card 2Body Symmetry

Define symmetry in animals and distinguish between asymmetrical, radial, and bilateral symmetry with examples.

Answer

Asymmetrical: No plane divides the body into equal halves (e.g., Sponges) Radial symmetry: Any plane through the central axis divides the body into identical halves (e.g., Coelenterates, Echinoderms)

Card 3Germinal Layers

What is the difference between diploblastic and triploblastic animals?

Answer

Card 4Coelom Types

Distinguish between coelomates, pseudocoelomates, and acoelomates with examples.

Answer

Coelomates: Body cavity lined by mesoderm (true coelom) - Annelids, Molluscs, Arthropods, Chordates Pseudocoelomates: Body cavity not lined by mesoderm, mesoderm present as scattered pouches - Aschelm

Card 6Porifera

Answer

- Commonly known as sponges - Marine, mostly asymmetrical - Cellular level of organization - Water transport/canal system with ostia and osculum - Choanocytes line the spongocoel - Intracellular diges

Card 7Cnidaria

Answer

Cnidoblasts (or cnidocytes) are specialized cells containing stinging capsules called nematocysts. They are present on tentacles and body of cnidarians. Functions: 1. Anchorage 2. Defense 3. Capture o

Card 8Cnidaria

Explain metagenesis with an example.

Answer

Metagenesis is the alternation of generations seen in some cnidarians where they exist in both polyp and medusa forms. Process: Polyps produce medusae asexually → Medusae form polyps sexually Example:
