What does the mouth of the cnidarian open into?

The mouth of a cnidarian, such as a jellyfish or sea anemone, opens into a central body cavity called the gastrovascular cavity. This cavity serves both digestive and circulatory functions, as it allows nutrients to be absorbed and distributed throughout the organism's body.


Compare the frogs blastula with that of a sea star?

The frog blastula is formed through holoblastic cleavage, resulting in a multicellular blastula with a fluid-filled cavity (blastocoel). In contrast, the sea star blastula is formed through radial holoblastic cleavage, leading to a solid blastula with no blastocoel. Additionally, the frog blastula undergoes gastrulation to form a gastrula with three germ layers, while the sea star blastula directly develops into a bipinnaria larva without gastrulation.

Does a Sea Star have a one way stomach or two?

A sea star has a unique feeding mechanism that involves a one-way stomach. When it captures its prey, usually bivalves, it can evert its stomach through its mouth and into the shell of the prey to digest it externally. This allows the sea star to absorb nutrients directly from the digested material before retracting its stomach back into its body. Thus, it effectively has a single, functional digestive cavity.


Oxygen is moved around the body of a sea star in its what?

Oxygen is typically carried by the red blood cells of most animals. However, the Sea Star has no "blood" and instead uses sea water to transport its nutrients. Salt water transports the oxygen around a sea star's body.
