Detailed Solution for Test: Hydra - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 6
  • Mesogloes is gelatinous or jelly-like and has no fibers or cellular elements.
  • In coelenterates and Porifera, mesogloea lies between the epidermis and gastrodermis and is attached to both layers

Hydra anatomy diagrams (a) Hydra regions, (b) epithelial bilayer of endoderm and ectoderm:

Anatomy of a hydrozoan polyp. (A)A Hydra polyp is essentially a two-layered tube, with a ring of tentacles around the mouth opening at the tip of the hypostome. Asexual budding occurs on the lower half of the body column. Interstitial stem cells and nematoblasts are distributed evenly in the body column, below the tentacle ring and above the border of the peduncle, which is the stalk between the budding region and pedal disc. (B)The bilayered cellular organization of a Hydra polyp. Ectoderm and endoderm are separated by an acellular matrix called the mesogloea (gray). All epithelial cells in Hydra are myoepithelial, with myofibers on the basal side (red). In ectodermal epithelial cells (green), the fibers are oriented longitudinally, and in endodermal epithelial cells (pink) they are oriented circumferentially (ring muscle). Most interstitial cells and nematoblast clusters are located between ectodermal epithelial cells. Neurons are found in both the endoderm and ectoderm. Sensory neurons are located between epithelial cells and connect to ganglion neurons (purple), which are at the base of the epithelium on top of the myofibers and sometimes cross the mesogloea. Different types of gland cells, most of which are found in the endoderm, are intermingled between the epithelial cells. �

The correct option is C

Intercellular

 

The correct option is C


Explanation for correct option.

  1. Digestion in hydra is intercellular.
  2. The food is first trapped and then it gets digested in the gastrovascular cavity by the action of enzymes secreted by the cells of the gastrovascular cavity.
  3. The animals of genius hydra belong to the class hydrozoa.
  4. The food is caught by tentacles and then ingested through the mouth into the gastrovascular cavity(large digestive cavity)

Largest nematocyst of Hydra is:

Detailed Solution for Test: Hydra - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 8

Penetrants: Penetrants are of two types, stenotele found in Hydra and euryteles found in jellyfishes.

  • They are the largest (16 microns in diameter) and the most complex nematocysts. It is pear-shaped and its thread tube is long and hollow, coiled transversely and bearing three large stylets and three rows of small spines at its stout base.
  • The thread tube is open at the apex and when discharged, it darts out with such explosive force that it pierces the body of prey and injects the hypnotoxin that paralyzes the victim or kills it outright.

Hydra bears:

Detailed Solution for Test: Hydra - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 23
  • In species of Hydra oligactis, male is smaller and bears one to eight testes, while the larger female bears one or two ovaries.
  • A testis is a slight conical elevation, arising from ectodermal interstitial cells and having a number of elongate cysts. At the base of a cystis is the primordial germ cell, which divides repeatedly by mitosis to form a variable number of spermatogonia, which grow into spermatocytes.
  • The development of ovary is similar as of testis. The interstitial cells multiply to form the germ mother cells or oogonia.
