HOMEWORK Explain the selective advantage of radial symmetry for sessile and free-floating animals.

What characteristics of phylum Cnidaria are most important in distinguishing it from other phyla?

Distinguish between polyp and medusa forms.

Explain the mechanism of nematocyst discharge. How can a hydrostatic pressure of one atmosphere be maintained within the nematocyst until it receives an expulsion stimulus?

Diagram a hydra and label the main body parts.

Name and give functions of the main cell types in the epidermis and in the gastrodermis of hydra.

What stimulates feeding behavior in hydras?

Define the following with regard to hydroids: hydrorhiza, hydrocaulus, coensosarc, perisarc, hydranth, gonangium, manubrium, statocyst, ocellus.

Give an example of a highly polymorphic, floating, colonial hydrozoan.

Distinguish the following from each other: statocyst and rhopalium; scyphomedusae and hydromedusae; scyphistoma, strobila, and ephyrae; velum, velarium, and pedalium; Zoantharia and Alcyonaria.

Define the following with regard to sea anemones: siphonoglyph; primary septa or mesenteries; incomplete septa; septal filaments; acontia threads; pedal laceration.

Describe three specific interactions of anemones with nonprey organisms.

Contrast the skeletons of zoantharian and alcyonarian corals.

Coral reefs generally are limited in geographic distribution to shallow marine waters. How do you account for this
