Tube feet in sea urchins serve several essential functions. Firstly, they are used for locomotion, allowing the sea urchin to move across the ocean floor. Secondly, tube feet help in feeding by facilitating the manipulation of food particles and aiding in the capture of algae and detritus. Lastly, they play a role in respiration by allowing for gas exchange and the movement of water, which helps maintain the sea urchin's internal environment.
What else can I help you with?
How do sea urchins get around?
By using tube feet on it's underside
What is a sea urchins prey?
A sea urchins "prey" is primarily algae but they will consume other organisms including small animals which some urchins capture and immobilize with pedicellariae (kind of like suction feet).
Do sea urchins have feet?
I don't know I'm not smart.Neither are you cause you can't answer the question
Do protists have tube feet?
No, tube feet are a characteristic feature of echinoderms, such as sea stars and sea urchins. Protists do not possess tube feet.
What marine invertebrates that have spiny skin radial symmetry and tube feet called?
Sea urchins!
What are the features of Echinoderms?
Echinoderms have tube feet, with the exception of urchins, which have spines. They are invertebrates. They also have no organs or eyes.
What are predators to sea urchins?

Which arthropod group has tube feet?
None. The phylum Arthropoda does not have tube feet, only the phylum Echinodermata has (starfish, sea urchins, etc.). Echinoderms are not arthropods! ^^
How do sea urchins behave?
Sea urchins move using their tube feet and spines on the underside of their body. they use their water vascular system. THis is where they pump water into their feet and when they touch the ground the water gets pushed out. This uses a lot of energy but only works slowly.
What is a sea urchins move?
Sea urchins primarily move using their tube feet, which are part of their water vascular system. These tube feet are extended and retracted to create a gripping motion on surfaces, allowing the sea urchin to crawl along the ocean floor. Additionally, they can use their spines for limited movement and protection, but their primary method of locomotion relies on the coordinated action of their tube feet.
What functions do tube feet serve in an echinoderm such as a sea star?
it helps in: >movement; to coordinate locomotion, to grip on substrate to withstand pressure, and act as sense organs that response to variation within the environment. >feeding; it helps trap its prey, and with the help of the cilia it carries food to its mouth.
What are tube functions of the tube feet?
One of the functions for tube feet are for movment, and also so they can pry open their clams.
