Study Notes
Habitat and Anatomy of Hydra
- Hydra's general habitat is freshwater environments
- Testes are found in the epithecial layer of Hydra
- Hydra feeds on its prey using its tentacles to capture and digest food in its gastrovascular cavity
- Hydra reproduces asexually by budding, where a new individual grows from the parent's body
Locomotion and Phylum
- Hydra moves using cilia or muscular contractions, but not flagella
- Hydra belongs to the phylum Cnidaria
Excretory System
- The main unit of the excretory system in Platyhelminthes is the protonephridium
- Hydra's reproductive system is hermaphroditic, except for Schistosoma, which is dioecious
Characteristics of Cnidarians
- Cnidarians have a characteristic radial symmetry
- Cnidarians catch their prey using stinging cells called cnidoblasts
- Coelenterates, a class of cnidarians, include organisms found in both freshwater and marine environments
Body Structure and Function
- Coelenteron is the digestive cavity in the body of a cnidarian, serving as the intestine
- The gastrovascular cavity is the cavity in the body of a cnidarian that serves as the intestine
- Nematoblasts are found in the ectodermal layer of the body in cnidarians
Reproduction and Respiration
- Cnidarians reproduce asexually through budding or fragmentation
- The primary means of respiration and excretion in cnidarians is diffusion through the body surface
- Cubozoa is the class of cnidarians that includes organisms with two stages in their life cycle: hydroid form and Medusoid form
