Sea stars can regenerate (can grow any part as long as the central disk is still partially in tact), has skin containing calcium carbonate for protection, can see light and dark (thanks to eyespots on each arm), to eat it puts its stomach into a mussel or clam shell to digest then slurp up, tube feet with strong suction to help eat clams and mussels, and pedicellaria (microscopic pinchers on skin) to keep clean, water vascular system (aids gas exchange, digestion, movement, and movement of flud throughout the body).

Do echinoderms have deuterostome development?

Yes, echinoderms exhibit deuterostome development. In deuterostomes, the first opening that forms during embryonic development becomes the anus, while the mouth develops later. Echinoderms, such as sea stars and sea urchins, share this characteristic with other deuterostomes, including chordates. Additionally, they display radial symmetry and a unique water vascular system.


How do sea stars breath?

Echinoderms move, feed and breathe with a unique water-vascular system ending in what are called tube feet. Sea stars use their tube feet to slowly pry open clams, mussels or other prey. Some sea stars can even evert their stomach between the two shells of a bivalve and digest the soft parts inside.


Which is a unique characteristic of the bonding between metal atoms?

A unique characteristic of the bonding between metal atoms is metallic bonding, where the metal atoms share their electrons freely throughout the entire structure. This results in a "sea of delocalized electrons" that are free to move, giving metals their unique properties such as malleability, ductility, and high electrical and thermal conductivity.
