Exploring Diversity in Porifera and Cnidaria Phyla Through Lab Observations

You were exposed to the wide array of animals in the Porifera and Cnidaria phyla in a lab exercise. Understanding the distinguishing features of each group, their roles in the environment, and the structures crucial for identification is key. Focus on bold-faced structures and labeling on diagrams as per your lab manual. Explore images of Grantia and Obelia specimens at different magnifications, sponge and hydra models, and anemone models to enhance your learning.

1. Exercise 12 Phyla Porifera and Cnidaria

2. In this lab exercise, you observed the wide diversity of animals in the phyla Porifera and Cnidaria. You will be expected to recognize each group and their distinguishing characteristics. Consult your lab manual for the role of each in its environment, the structures that you will need to recognize on each specimen, and their functions. As in all exercises, concentrate on those structures in bold face type and those that you were asked to label on your diagrams.
