PHYLUM PORIFERA

Callyspongia vaginalis

TAXONOMY
CLASSIFICATION
Kingdom:Animalia
Phylum: Porifera
Class:
Demospongiae
Subclass: Ceractinomorpha
Order:
Haplosclerida
Family:
Callyspongiidae
Genus:
Callyspongia
Species: C. vaginalis

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS
Simple multicellular
organism
Asymmetry
Porous body
Do not form true tissues
Asexually & sexually
reproduction
Adults are sessile
(stationary or non-motile
and attached to a solid
or rigid substrate)
While the larva are free
swimming
Most are
hermaphrodites: an
individual function as
both male & female in
sexual reproduction by
producing sperm and
egg

 Sponge gametes arise

from choanocytes and
amoebocytes

PHYLUM CNIDARIA

Chrysaora fuscescens

Pelagiidae
Genus:
Chrysaora
Species: C. fuscescens

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS
Diploblastic
Radial body plan
A single opening to this
cavity act as anus and
mouth
Show polymorphism
Have nerve net; no central
nervous
Cnidarians are carnivores,
use tentacles to capture
prey and push the food into
gastrovascular cavity
The tentacles are armed
with cnidocytes, unique
cells function in defence
and prey capture
Nematocytes are
specialized organelles
within cnidocytes.
