A model organism is a species that researchers study to better understand certain biological processes. Mollusks and arthropods are commonly used as model organisms for studying mechanisms of learning and memory, while sponges and jellyfish are not. This is because mollusks and arthropods can respond to changes in their environment, while jellyfish and sponges cannot.

This is because of lack of brain and coordinating system in sponges and jelly fish.

Explanation:

Mollusks and arthropods are those types of invertebrates which have the presence of an advanced system of brain and coordination .

                                        However, organisms like sponges and jellyfish lack these systems as they are the most primitive type of organisms that have only cellular or tissue level of organisation.

Hence, sponges and jellyfish are not used to study the mechanism of learning and memory.
