How is this body design of flatworm different from the Cnidarian bauplan?

Flatworms exhibit a bilateral symmetry and aacoelomate body plan, meaning they lack a body cavity and have a simplified organization with three tissue layers. In contrast, cnidarians have a radial symmetry and a body plan characterized by a gelatinous mesoglea layer, with two main tissue layers: the ectoderm and endoderm, and a central gastrovascular cavity. Additionally, cnidarians possess specialized cells called cnidocytes for capturing prey, which flatworms lack. Overall, these fundamental differences in symmetry, body organization, and tissue structure distinguish flatworms from cnidarians.


What are the main characteristics of sponges cnidarians and worms?

Sponges are invertebrate animals that usually have no body symmetry and never have tissues or organs. Cnidarians use stinging cells to capture food and defend themselves.

Earthworms and other segmented worms have bodies made up of many linked sections called segments.
