UPA – Diversity E
Phylum Name
 [1pt] Porifera
 -½ for misspelling by ONE letter
 -1 pt if misspelling by more than one letter
A. Organism Type
 [1pt] pore-bearers
 organisms with pores okay, too
 anything else – NO. I gave you this answer in class.
 no half credit…since I told you in class lots of times
B. Examples
 [1pt] need 2 examples of organisms
 ½ point each for 2 types of sponges
 if just “sponges” – No Credit. -1pt
C. Type of Symmetry
 [1pt] asymmetrical
 if also have radial, that’s ok, but you
only need to have “asymmetrical” for credit
 -½ pt if only have “radial”
D. Coelom
 [1pt] none – do not need any other descriptor
 if you did not address this topic, -1pt.
 you MUST address ALL items on the project, even if
the answer is “no” or “none” etc.
E. (Endo/Exo)skeleton
 [1pt] none of the above - has spongin & spicules
 ½ point spongin
 ½ point spicules
 -½ point if only have “none of the above”
 anything else? ask me.
F. Body Systems
 [1pt] none
 if you have reproductive…okay.

if you don’t, don’t count off
 reproductive + ONE other system = -½ point
 if have any other systems,
-½ pt each up to the 1pt this is worth
G. Get/Ingest/Digest Food
 [1pt] filter feeding
 if described filter feeding instead of naming it,
ASK ME to see if you get full or ½ credit for your
answer [or no credit…it depends on details]
 best description: [but unneeded]


flagella on choanocytes move water through pores
food particles in water are captured by
amoebocytes
H. Respiration
 [1pt] diffusion
 if also have osmosis, ok
 -½ pt if ONLY osmosis
I. Reproduction
 [1pt] sexual
 [1pt for types of asexual]
 ½ pt for fragmentation
 ½ pt for budding [or gemmules]
 -½ if only have “asexual” but not types
 okay if only have the type of asexual
[and not the term “asexual”]
Drawings
 [2pts] Two drawings exist
 1pt per drawing
 -1pt for each drawing not there
 [1pt] BOTH pictures have titles
 picture has no title = -½
 [2pts] need 6 labels [3 per picture]
 -½ per missing label [up to the 2pts]
 basically, need more than 2 labels to get any points.
Bonus
 need 2 interesting facts for 1 bonus point
 NO CREDIT for only one fact
 add the bonus point into the total
grade at the top of the column for Porifera
UPA – Diversity E
Phylum Name
 [1pt] Cnidaria
 -½ for misspelling by ONE letter
 -1 pt if misspelling by more than one letter
A. Organism Type
 [1pt] stinging-celled organisms
 “stinging organisms” is fine
B. Examples
 [1pt] ½ point each for 2 organisms
 jellyfish [& any types of]
 hydra [& any types of]
 anemone[& any types of]
 corals [& any types of]
 have something else? ask me.
C. Type of Symmetry
 [1pt] radial symmetry
 anything else? NO. -1 pt
 -½ pt if you have “radial” AND something else
D. Coelom
 [1pt] none of the above
 if you did not address this topic, -1pt.
 you MUST address ALL items on the project, even if
the answer is “no” or “none” etc.
E. (Endo/Exo)skeleton
 [1pt] water pressure [aka hydrostatic skeleton]
 -½ pt if you have calcium & other minerals but
NOT water pressure
 Ok if you have both
 if you have “exoskeleton” bc of the Ca2+, cross it out
 -½ point if only have “neither”
 -1 point if you have anything else
F. Body Systems
 [1.5pts] ½ point each
 ½ pt muscular
 ½ pt nervous
If you don’t have musular,
nervous, reproductive or
digestive/gastrovascular,
all -1.5pts
 reproductive / digestive ok, but not needed.
 gastrovascular ok, but not a real body system
 if you don’t have any, minus all 1.5 pts.
 if have any other systems, -½ pt each
G. Get/Ingest/Digest Food
 [2pts]
 1pt tentacles
 1pt gastrovascular cavity

if you have mouth only, then -½ point
 great if you have the nematocysts and
cnidocytes, but not needed on your page
 anything else? ask me.
H. Respiration
 [1pt] diffusion
 if also have osmosis, ok, but not needed
I. Reproduction
 [1pt] sexual
 [1pt] budding
 -½ if only have “asexual”
 okay if only have the type of asexual
[and not the term “asexual”]
 if have sexual and asexual w/ alternation of
generations, ok, but not needed.
