not at all. Asterodiae (sea stars)which is a class that falls under enchinodermata may have anywhere from 5-20 or more "arms". That's only if u count those which are so not true appendages. The thousands of tube feet controlled by the water vascular sytem are apendages and they number in the thousands. pedicalary and papulla which are small pincher like apendeges that keep debris from settling on the aboral surface of the animal( there are thousands of these too). Not to mention the Ambulacral ridge(thosands of cillica may be found here as well), pyloric cecum, rectal cecum, gonads, cardiac stomoach.

On the opposite end i suppose Holothuroidea (sea cucumbers) are much simpler but still are composed of more than 5 body parts. Cells have difficulting being composed of just 5 parts. quite often 3 different stucutes compsose the outer cytomembrane

What is the difference in body symmetry between the Phylum Echinodermata and the Phylum Chordata?

Echinoderms exhibit pentaradial symmetry, with body parts arranged in multiples of five around a central axis. Chordates, on the other hand, display bilateral symmetry, with a distinct left and right side mirroring each other.


Which organism would be classified as an enchinoderm?

An echinoderm is a sea animal that has a hard spiny shell, or exoskeleton. Echinoderms display radial symmetry, having 5 similar body extensions from a central point. The seven classes of echinoderms are brittle stars, basket stars, sea urchins, sand dollars, sea lilies, feather stars, and sea cucumbers.


How is an echinoderm's radial symmetry different from that of a jellyfish?

The echinoderm's mouth is the shape of a pentagon and it has 5 teeth-like teeth. The difference between the echinoderm's and the jellyfish's radial symmetry is that the jellyfish shows radial symmetry and is spherical in shape. The echinoderms are flatter, have five arms and have pentaradial symmetry.


How do echinoderms use their endoskeleton like an exoskeleton?

Echinoderms, such as sea stars and sea urchins, have an endoskeleton made of hard plates called ossicles that lie inside their bodies. Although this endoskeleton is internal, it functions similarly to an exoskeleton by providing support and protection. It allows echinoderms to control their body shape and movement, just like an exoskeleton does for other invertebrates.


What is reproduction of echinodermata?

Echinoderms reproduce sexually, with separate male and female individuals releasing eggs and sperm into the water where fertilization takes place. Some echinoderms can also reproduce asexually through regeneration, where a new individual grows from a detached body part.
