explain enchinodermata
Answers
Echinodermata :
• The animal of this phylum have spiny skin .
• It have hard covering of endoskeleton which are made up of calcium
• These animal body have Radical symmetry , triploblastic and Coelomate .
• Vascualr system is present so it help in capturing of food , locomotion and respiration .
• Example – Starfish and sea cucumber etc
Symmetry :
1] Bilateral symmetry : Bilateral symmetry means body divide into two equal parts
2] Radical Symmetry : Radical symmetry means body divide into multiple equal parts
Germ layers :
1] Diploblastic : Diploblastic means body formed from two germs layer .
2] Triploblastic : Triploblastic means body formed from three germs layer .
Colemate : Colemate means Body cavity present in the body .
Acolemate : Acolemate means body cavity absent in the body .
Segmentation : A body which have segment called Segmentation
Skelation :
1] Exoskelation : Exoskelation means hard covering of calcium carbonate present which help to protection of body
2] Endoskelation : Endoskelation means hard covering of Calcium present which help to also protection of body
- Chorodata : Chorodata means vertebral column present and Notochord also present
- Non- Chorodata : Non – Chorodata means Absent vertebral column and Notochord also absent
Answer:-
ECHINODERMATA:-
- These are exclusively marine animals.
- They are triploblastic which means that their body is derived from three embryonic layers
- They Have True Coelom ( body cavity )
- They have tube feet which helps them in locomotion.
- Respiration occurs through gills and tube feet.
- Their lost parts can be regenerated.
- They carry out external fertilisation.
- They have spinny skin.
- Their body has radical symmetry
Phylum Echinodermata is further classified into the following classes:-
- Asteroidea
- Ophiuroidea
- Echinoidea
- Holothuroidea
- Crinoidea
Examples:-
Star Fish , Sea lily , brittle star etc
