  • Aquatic animals that have radial symmetry. Their cells are grouped in simple tissues. Some have organs.
    cnidarians
  • Which of these statements about worms is NOT true:
    They tend to live in humid climates.
    They have bilateral symmetry.
    They do not have jointed appendages.
    They have radial symmetry.
  • These are the simplest invertebrate animals. AKA sponges.
    porifera
  • These flatworms inhabit humid climates and can be found in seas, rivers, and lakes.
    planarians
  • Water, containing waste products, that leaves the central cavity, is released through this hole.
    osculum
  • Cells situated in the external layer of the sponge.
    incurrent pores
  • Umbrella-shaped sea cnidarians are called _______.
    jellyfish
  • The simplest animals that have bilateral symmetry and cephalisation of the nervous system.
    flatworms
  • Stinging cells with a coiled flagellum that can inject liquid into prey to paralyse them. They are found in the tentacles of jellyfish.
    cnidoblasts
  • A hollow space inside the bodies of porifera that have radial symmetry.
    central cavity
  • Sac-shaped sessile cnidarians are called ________.
    polyps
  • Parasites that live in the intestines of many animals (including humans).
    tapeworms
  • This type of skeleton allows jellyfish to keep their shape by collecting water inside their cells.
    hydrostatic skeleton
  • Cells that form the pores which let the water flow through the porifera.
    porocytes
  • Cnidarians are
    cannibals
    omnivores
    herbivores
    carnivores
  • The concentration of nerve centers at the "head" of the animal's body is known as
    filtration
    planariation
    cephalisation
    spicules
  • Cells that coat the inner cavity, creating a flow of water.
    choanocytes
