The animals depicted in the image above are several different types of an animal called a myxozoan. It is an incredibly small organism that feeds off of living hosts. (it eats them from the inside out). It resembles a protozoa but is still a part of the animal kingdom. Later in its life cycle it leaves its host to mate. Given that it is classified as a part of phylum Cnidaria, what else can you tell me about it?

The myxozoan has a gelatinous body, no centralized nervous system, and specialized stinger cells.

24

How does the Echinodemia species reproduce, describe it?

Reproduction through fission

Fission: the process by which a species can break off a part and regenerate from both pieces.

What are the types of cells that make up a porifera and what do they do?

Choanocytes - flagellated collar cells that generate water currents

Pinacocytes - form the outer pinacoderm

Porocytes - tubular cells that form incurrent pores

Archaeocytes/Amoebocytes - roving scavenger cells that facilitate digestion and feed other cells

Explain the structural differences between the class Homoscleromorpha and Demospongiae regarding why Homoscleromorpha was separated from the class Demospongiae.

The Homoscleromorpha contains a true epithelium or basement membrane. No other sponge has an epithelia.

Explain the three requirements for multicellular organisms, be precise.

The cells must stick together. It should be impossible for a multicellular organism to become unicellular. The cells must communicate with each other. Meaning the cells must work together and have specific functions to produce a successful organism. Like the last point, the cells must create a work of genetic interactions to produce a functional organism.
