7th Grade Sponges, Cnidarians
Sponges and Cnidarians are both invertebrates but belong to a different class of organisms. Sponges lack symmetry whereas cnidarians have radial symmetry. What more can you tell about these aquatic species? Take up the simple quiz below and jog your memory on these two sets of invertebrates. All the best!
- 1.
The word larva's defintion is....
- A.
A newly born egg that is prettier than mother
- B.
An immature form of an animal
- C.
A group of little cells
Correct Answer
B. An immature form of an animalExplanation
The correct answer is "an immature form of an animal." A larva is a developmental stage in the life cycle of many animals, including insects, amphibians, and some fish. It is characterized by its distinct morphology and physiology, which are different from the adult form. Larvae undergo metamorphosis to transform into their adult form. This answer accurately describes the definition of a larva as an immature stage in the life cycle of an animal.Rate this question:

TRue or False?The structure of sponges is:No symmetry, opening at two ends. hollow nag, collar cells, neutral cells, jelly-like cells, tiny pores that cover surfaceIf incorrect how many errors are in above sentence
Correct Answer
False, 3Explanation
The given sentence describes the structure of sponges as having no symmetry, an opening at two ends, a hollow nag, collar cells, neutral cells, jelly-like cells, and tiny pores that cover the surface. However, this description is incorrect. The correct structure of sponges includes asymmetry, an opening at one end, a central cavity, collar cells, and tiny pores called ostia that cover the surface. Therefore, there are three errors in the given sentence.Rate this question:

Colony means..
- A.
A gruop of individual animals
- B.
A state and or city
- C.
A large amount of condensed material
- D.
A sinking material
Correct Answer
A. A gruop of individual animalsExplanation
Colony refers to a group of individual animals that live together and function as a unit. This term is commonly used to describe social insects like ants, bees, and termites, where each individual has a specific role within the colony. They work together to build and maintain their nests, gather food, and protect the colony.Rate this question:

True or False?Sponges are filter feeders and absorb oxygen in dissolved water.Filter feeders are small organisms in water
- A.
True
- B.
False
- C.
Don't know
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Sponges are indeed filter feeders, meaning they obtain their food by filtering water and extracting nutrients from it. They have specialized cells called choanocytes that create water currents and capture small particles, including bacteria and organic matter, for consumption. Additionally, sponges do absorb oxygen from the water through their cells, as they lack specialized respiratory organs. Therefore, the statement "Sponges are filter feeders and absorb oxygen in dissolved water" is true.Rate this question:

- B.
A valley of dormat sponges

Cnidarians are
- A.
A series or dormat species that live in species
- B.
A species of non moving sponges
- C.
Organisms that take in food through a cavity anh have stinging cells
- D.
None of the above
- E.
All of the above, but D
Correct Answer
C. Organisms that take in food through a cavity anh have stinging cellsExplanation
Cnidarians are organisms that take in food through a cavity and have stinging cells. Cnidarians include jellyfish, sea anemones, and coral. They have a central body cavity called a gastrovascular cavity, which serves both as a digestive chamber and a means of distributing nutrients throughout the body. Cnidarians also possess specialized cells called cnidocytes, which contain stinging structures called nematocysts. These stinging cells are used for defense and capturing prey. Therefore, the correct answer is organisms that take in food through a cavity and have stinging cells.Rate this question:

Poly defintion is..... and medusa defintion is...
- A.
Vase shaped body plan...Worm shaped body plan
- B.
Worm shaped body plan...head shaped body plan
- C.
Vase shaped body plan......bowl shaped body plan
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Vase shaped body plan......bowl shaped body planExplanation
The correct answer is "Vase shaped body plan......bowl shaped body plan." This means that the poly definition refers to a vase-shaped body plan, while the medusa definition refers to a bowl-shaped body plan.Rate this question:

List Sponge adaptations
Correct Answer
1.Spike cells for structure and protectionExplanation
The given answer states that sponge adaptations include spike cells for structure and protection. This means that sponges have developed specialized cells with spiky structures that serve the purpose of providing support and protection to the sponge. These spike cells help maintain the shape and structure of the sponge, as well as deter predators from feeding on them. By having spike cells, sponges are able to thrive in their aquatic environments and survive various challenges they may face.Rate this question:

- A.
True
- B.
False
- C.
False......no larva
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true. The life cycle of sponges involves both sexual and asexual reproduction. The eggs hatch into larvae, which then develop into adult sponges.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
a. stinging cells b.sting c.tentaclesExplanation
Cnidarians get food by using their stinging cells to sting prey. The tentacles pull prey until a thread-like structure explodes out, which may release venom.Rate this question:
