Why do you grow up?

Every organism grows. Cells multiply. For animals, this means they learn their specific animal skills. For humans, it means we learn specific human skills. When we know many skills like our adult parents know, we are said to be grown up. However, just like teenage and young adult animals, young adult humans continue to learn and learn from mistakes even though we are supposed to be "grown up".


What has asymmetrical symmetry?

Most animals are symmetrical in their body plans, which doesn't necessarily mean that they are perfectly symmetrical.Humans for instance, have two, you can place a mirror right in the middle of a person and it will produce an image of the corresponding side. Humans and most mammals are said to be bilateral (two sides).Starfish for instance have more than two, they have radial symmetry.Some members of the animal kingdom do not have any symmetry in their body plans. A good example would be the more primitive of animals, the Poryphera (sponges). Sponges are asymmetrical (do not have symmetry).


The cells of all animals except sponges are organized into structural and functional units called?

In most animals cells that carry out the same function form structures called tissues. An organ is a group of tissues working together for a common function. Sponges can be said to show some cell differentiation (and therefore have tissues). The porifera (the phylum containing sponges) are some of the most ancestral animals on the planet and only have two cell types. One makes up the soma (the body) and the other the germ line (a reproductive system). Interestingly, these cells have the ability to self-recognise which was important in the evolution of multicellularity. So, if you put a sponge through a blender if will eventually rearrange itself back into its original form. (Please don't try this with your pet hamster - it definitely won't work!)
