Phylum Cnidarian
a. Feeding
Cnidarians have only one opening called the gastrovascular cavity. This is where the food enters and the waste leaves. Cnidarians are hunters. They paralyze their prey before putting it in their mouth. To cut, and stick to their prey, Cnidarians use their nematocysts. Their Nematocysts contains toxic chemicals to kill whatever they are hunting, their prey.
b. Digestion
Digestion begins in the gastrovascualr cavity. This cavity is a digestive chamber. Digestion in this phylum occurs outside the cell, where the gastrovascualr cavity can begin absorbing the nutrients after the enzymes begin to break down the food material.
c. Reproduction
Sexual:
When Cnidrians sexually reproduce it takes place in external fertilization.

  • Plecia Nearctica Research Paper

    It’s a widely held myth that University of Florida entomologists introduced Plecia nearctica into Florida as means to control insect population however, love bugs, as this species is more commonly known as, actually migrated across the Gulf Coast from Mexico through human activities. Despite the humorous implications of the common name, given because of their ability to copulate while in flight for hours, it does not emphasize the controversy that surrounds its invasive appearance in the Southern states of America. These states found that the species was detrimental to the abiotic environment initially but as it turns out, with time, the species adapted to actually become helpful to the biotic environment. What was initially seen as a nuisance became an integral part of the agricultural ecosystem despite it being an unintended consequence through increased human activities. The ecological effects of Plecia nearctica start with its evolution and adaptation to the Southern states in America and

Health officials realized that the mysterious illness was not caused by a bacterium because the pathogen would be identified quickly in comparison to a virus, which is more complicated (CBC, 2013). 2. It was hard to identify the infectious agent because SARS presented as flu-like symptoms with a rapid onset and is similar to the common flu (CBC, 2013). People who had other underlying health problems made it difficult to identify symptoms of SARS because it made it hard to differentiate (CDC, 2013).

    When the organism moves, it produces a sinusoidal wave motion in the dorsal-ventral plane (Alberts et al., 2007). The food for this animal is taken up by a muscular pharynx and is then pumped into the intestine, which is made up of about 30 cells and is lined with microvilli (Wood, 1988). About seventy percent of the three hundred neurons of C elegans are located in the head (Wood, 1988). The nervous system also includes sensory receptors and ganglia, along with dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The sense organs, which include chemoreceptors and mechanoreceptors, are arranged in two concentric circles around the mouth (Wood,

  • Reptili Appropriate Sexual Selection In Reptiles

    544 Words  | 3 Pages

    Sexual Selection in Reptiles Turtles, crocodilians, tuataras and squamates, which include the diverse forms of lizards and snakes, are included in the group called Reptilia (Townsend et al., 2004). They are ectoderms and their sexual behavior and mating characteristics have been widely studied and many theories and interesting features have been documented over the years (Martin, 1994; Shine 2003). According to Uller and Olsson (2008) the reptiles have a unique characteristic regarding their sexual selection and mating characteristics, called the post-copulatory sexual selection. There are two important aspects related to post copulatory sexual selection, they are  Competition among sperms from different male donors  Cryptic or in vivo female choice to decide which sperm will fertilize the egg
