This document provides information about coral reefs and the process of coral reef formation. It defines coral reefs as underwater structures made of calcium carbonate secreted by coral polyps belonging to the phylum Cnidaria. It then describes the main type of fringing reef, noting that it is distinguished from barrier reefs and atolls by having a shallow backreef zone or none at all, and growing directly from the shoreline or extending hundreds of yards from shore with potential backreef areas.
Blanoglossus is a marine worm found worldwide in tropical and subtropical seas. It lives buried in U-shaped burrows in mud or sand. The body is elongated and cylindrical, divided into a proboscis, collar, and trunk. It feeds by ingesting sand and extracting microorganisms, and reproduces sexually with external fertilization. Key anatomical features include the proboscis for burrowing, gill slits and pores for respiration, and a digestive system with a hepatic region for nutrient absorption from food. Though soft-bodied, it is protected by a mucus lining and secretions in its burrow.
Metagenesis, or alternation of generations, is shown in the life cycle of Obelia sp. The asexual generation is the colonial Obelia polyp, which reproduces asexually through budding. The sexual generation is the solitary medusa, which develops from reproductive polyps in the Obelia colony. The medusa contains gonads and releases gametes that fertilize to form planula larvae. These larvae settle and develop into new Obelia polyp colonies, completing the life cycle through alternating asexual and sexual generations.
1. Many non-chordate organisms use hydrostatic locomotion, where muscles in the body cavity or epidermis contract to allow movement. Examples include hydra, earthworms, and echinoderms.
2. Protozoans use pseudopodia, flagella, or cilia for locomotion. Pseudopodia form through cytoplasm streaming, flagella undulate through movements of the axoneme, and cilia beat in coordinated waves.
3. Echinoderms move through the hydraulic pressure of their water vascular system, which causes tube feet to extend, adhere to the substrate, and then contract to pull the body forward in a repeating motion.
Sponges are multi-cellular aquatic animals that live fixed to the sea floor and filter feed. They come in about 9,000 species divided into three main classes based on their skeleton composition. Sponges lack true tissues and organs. They are composed of three main cell types - pinacocytes, choanocytes, and mesenchyme cells. Choanocytes generate water currents that both capture food and circulate water through the sponge. Sponges reproduce sexually through internal fertilization and larval development or asexually by fragmentation.

Phylum Porifera includes sponges, the simplest multicellular animals. They live in both freshwater and marine environments and have no true tissues. Their bodies are composed of totipotent cells and a skeleton made of silica or calcium carbonate spicules. Sponges filter feed using flagellated cells and circulate water through their porous bodies via an aquiferous system. They reproduce both sexually through external fertilization and asexually by budding or gemmules. Many species have symbiotic relationships with bacteria and algae. Sponges provide important habitat and are a source of bioactive compounds used in human pharmaceuticals to treat diseases.
This document provides an overview of sponges and cnidarians. It discusses their distinguishing features, basic body structures, and evolutionary histories. Sponges are multicellular organisms that lack tissues and have pores to intake and output water. Cnidarians are diploblastic animals with stinging cells that have two main layers and feed through predation or symbiosis. Both groups have a long fossil record dating back hundreds of millions of years.
Phylum Porifera includes about 5,000 living species of sponges. There are three main classes: Hexactinellida (glass sponges), Demospongia (most diverse class making up 90% of species), and Calcarea (found in shallow waters with calcium carbonate spicules). Sponges are the most primitive multicellular animals and feed by filtering water through their outer walls using flagella and contractile cells to pump water in and out for feeding, waste removal, and oxygen intake. They reproduce both sexually and asexually.

ostia, osculum, paragastric cavity, mesenchyme, choanocyte, canal system and
mesenchyme, is called Porifera.
4. Characters
