An echinoderm is a spiny-skinned organism like a starfish. Leeches are soft bodied organisms, so they can't be echinoderms.

Asked by Wiki User

I think you're reading out of a low-level-zoology book, there's actually 14 characteristics. But some of them are really hard to understand, i cant even understand some of them myshelf, but for some that i can understand, I'll type it in

1. Body unsegmented, radial

2.No head, no brain

3.It has a water-vascular system

4.Excretory organs abset( it cant pee)

5.And they can regenerate lost parts.

The other 9 are really hard to understand, i think you wouldn't really understand them

Where do echinoderms live?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

all echinoderms live in salt water like in oceans and seas. They are in every ocean. Most adult echinoderms live on the ocean floor in salt water feeding on different sea animals. Many echinoderms can be found in tide pools along beaches or in oceans. the tide pools can support a variety of echinoderms and is changed every time the tide goes out.

There are sea stars under the ice in the Antarctic and up in the north, Bering sea and around parts of northern Europe. Many are meat eating predators while some are grazers of algae.

How are echinoderms radial symmetry different from a jellyfish?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

ctenophorains(jellysfish) are spherical in shape much like a ball hence show radial symmetry. echinoderms(starfish) generally are flatter and have 5 arms hence are called pentaradial symmetry (can be cut in only 5 directions)

How do echinoderms move and get their food?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For the sea star, they grap a clam with all five arms, then it pulls on the tightly closed shell with its tube feet. When the shell opens, the sea star forces its stomach out through its mouth and into the opening between the clam's shells. And then the digestive chemicals break down the clam's tissues, and the star sucks in the partially digested body of its prey.

Are sponges echinoderms?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. Sponges belong to the phylum Porifera, which means 'pore bearing.' The have pores that are called incurrent vents, where water comes in, and excurrent vents, where water goes out. They are considered the most primitive of animals because they don't have any complex organs or tissues, so, for example, they don't have a circulatory system or a digestive system or a nervous system. Their cells are somewhat loosely structured in that some cells can move around from place to place in the sponge and there are some unspecialized cells that can become other kinds of cells. Also, they only have two layers of cells. There are some types of sponges that you can put through a sieve to separate all the cells but then the cells will go back together to recreate a sponge again.

Echinoderms are a completely different and more advanced phylum. They have organ systems and fixed (non-changing) cell types and more layers of cells. Also, if you put an echinoderm through a sieve, he's a gonner.
