Selective advantage of radial symmetry for sessile and free floating animals?

Radial symmetry is selectively advantageous because the organisms approach their environment from all sides equally. In addition to sessile animals, radial symmetry can also be found in some other animals and plants.

∙ 12y agoSessile and free-floating animals such as echinoderms and cnidarians exhibit two distinct advantages of radial symmetry. Primarily, radial symmetry allows for animals to reach out in all directions from one center such as during feeding. This is an advantage since they don't have a high degree of controllable movement even during food collecting periods. Secondarily, radial symmetric animals are able to receive stimuli from all directions which have efficient defense mechanisms due to their radial symmetric distribution.

What is an advantage of bilateral symmetry?
Celiaphlatus and forward movement. There is a few advantages of the bilateral symmetry. Some of the advantages are food, movement and animals.
What can you infer about an animal based on its symmetry?
you can tell if an animal have bilateral symmetry if you cut the animal in half, (hypothetically) and both sides are the same
What are two animals that have the same type of symmetry as the letter M?
There are many animals that have the same type of symmetry as the letter M. A frog for example has this.
In what way the development of a body cavity or coelom an advantage for bilaterally symmetrical animal?
animals with bilateral symmetry can find food and mate es and avoid preditors because they have sensory organs and good muscle control. ex of these types of animals would be a human

yes
How do floating plants protect small water animals?
Floating plants protect small water animals by floating near the surface of the water and preventing birds from eating or harming the animals underneath.

What are examples of radial symmetry and bilateral symmetry in animals?
Radial symmetry - jellyfish, starfish.Bilateral symmetry - horse, human
What animals have radical symmetry?
Not sure what you are referring to, "radical" symmetry. But if you meant radial symmetry then you might be looking at animals in the family with starfish, jellyfish, anemones, etc. There is also bilateral symmetry where both sides look the same. Look up radial symmetry and see what you can find.
