They are filter feeders that draw water into their pores, filter out tiny sea invertebrates that are absorbed and digested, and expel the remaining water in a continuous basis.
a digestive system with a single opening
Flatowrms have muscle cells, they are a triploblastic phylum. They have endo, meso and ectoderm layersSponges are Parazoa and lack any true tissue at allCnidaria are diploblastic, having only endoderm and ectoderm
I believe Echinoderms evolved first.
a scorpion is a Arthropods
Flatworms don't belong to cnidarians .They belong to Platyhelminthis . All others are cnidarians .
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. Flatworms are flat and as soft as jelly. Unlike cnidarians or flatworms, roundworms have a digestive system that is like a tube, open at both ends. Earthworms and other segmented worms have bodies made up of many linked sections called segments.
No clue, but here is a hint, look in the book!
flatworms cannot make their own food.
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.
Yes they do digest food.
Poriferans needs organic substances and cnidarians needs of a gastrovascular cavity with openings.
Mainly through suspension feeding. Cnidarians use stinging tentacles (nomocytes) to capture their prey. Once the tentacles grab the food it is absorbed in the gastrovascular cavity (stomach) and taken in asnutrients.
