Across
- 2. a simple, nonflowering, and typically aquatic plant of a large group that includes the seaweeds and many single-celled forms
- 4. the most complex in design in that not all the chambers are flagellated
- 7. the formation and development of an embryo
- 8. amoeba-like cells that slither around using pseudopodia
- 9. an opening into a vessel or cavity of the body.
- 14. Sponge is brightly colored because it
- 15. the gelatinous matrix within a sponge
- 16. fixed in one place
- 18. a flagellated cell with a collar of protoplasm at the base of the flagellum, numbers of which line the internal chambers of sponges.
- 20. tubular with a central shaft called the spongocoel
- 22. a large aperture in a sponge through which water is expelled
- 23. having or derived from a single germ layer.
- 25. Sponges are the only animals that if broken down to the level of their cells, can reassemble themselves

- 21. similar to asconoids. They have a tubular body with a single osculum, but the body wall is thicker and more complex
- 24. a member of a large group of unicellular microorganisms which have cell walls but lack organelles and an organized nucleus, including some that can cause disease.
