Body symmetry and cephalization are both animal evolution trends, and both are primarily seen in more complex animals (think humans rather than sponges). Therefore, both enhance the complexity and speed of an animal's response. Body symmetry and cephalization give an animal an advantage of better and more convenient usage of its senses and body parts.

∙ 12y agoIt is generally of an advantage to have sensors at the front of where you are going and not at the back. If you are bilaterally symmetric you will have a preferred direction to travel. Whereever is front you should put your sensors. It is much better for survival if you avoid an obstacle/danger/predator before you get than then when you are about the leave...

A concentration of sense organs and nerve cells in anterior end of the body known as?
Cephalization
What do Radial and Bilateral have in common?
Symmetry in biology is the balanced distribution of duplicate body parts or shapes. The body plans of most multicellular organisms exhibit some form of symmetry, either radial symmetry or bilateral symmetry or "spherical symmetry". A small minority exhibit no symmetry (are asymmetric).
Many animals have body symmetry with distinct front and back ends This type of symmetry is?
dorsal
What is the body symmetry of earthworms?
Earthworms, like all arthropods, have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.
What term refers to the clustering of sensory structures at the anterior end of an organism?
Cephalization. Shouldn't you be reading your textbook?
Which animals possess the anatomical characteristic cephalization?
animals that have bilateral body symmetry
What type of symmetry is usually associated with cephalization?
Bilateral Symmetry
What are four characteristics that complex animals tend to have?
Complex animals tend to have specialized cells, bilateral symmetry, cephalization, and a body cavity.
What did bilateral symmetry lead to the evolution of?
It allows different parts of the body to become specialized in different ways. This is called cephalization.
Do frog's use cephalization?
Yes, frogs exhibit bilateral symmetry. Cephalization is the concentration of nervous tissue at one end of an organism. The frog has this nervous tissue (the brain) at the anterior end of the body (the head.)
A concentration of sense organs and nerve cells in anterior end of the body known as?
Cephalization
Does a roundworm have by bilateral symmetry a flatten a digestive system with a pharynx for feeding?
the_________ body plan is chacterized by bilateral symmetry, a flatten body cephalization a digestive system with a pharynx for feeding . a. flatworm b.annelid c. cechinoderm d. roundworm
Annelids show what by having bilateral symmetry?
cephalization for segmented worms, but idk about anything else
What does annelids show by having bilateral symmetry with an anterior head where most sense organs are found?
Cephalization
The Cephalization of the body planes a grasshopper?
Animals can be divided both horizontally and vertically. Grasshopper cephalization means they have heads that are well developed and include sense organs.
Does a hydra have cephalization?
A hydra does not have cephalization.
What is the body symmetry of mussel?
Many think that the limpet has radial symmetry but this is not the case. Limpets have bilateral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry means the animal has symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.
