Term

The members of the Radiata have a body plan that allows them to
Definition
interact with their environment on all sides
Term
A major evolutionary advance in the Radiata is
Definition
extracellular digestion of food
Term
extracellular digestion
Definition
digestion begins outside of cells in a gut cavity called the gastrovascular cavity
this form of digestion allows animals to digest an animal larger than itself
Term

Stinging cells
Definition
cnidocytes
Term
Cnidarians have ? basic body forms
Definition
medusae are a floating form
polyps are a sessile form
Term
radial symmetry
Definition
means that multiple planes cutting the organism in half will produce mirror images
Term
bilateral symmetry
Definition
means that only one plane can cut the organism in half to produce mirror images
Term
cephalization
Definition
development of a definite head
Term
The bilaterally symmetrical eumetazoans produce ? embryonic layers, They are
Definition
ectoderm will develop into the outer coverings of the body and the nervous system
mesoderm will develop into the skeleton and muscles
endoderm will develop into the digestive organs and intestine
Term
The ? are the simplest of all bilaterally symmetrical animals
Definition
solid worms
Term
the largest phylum of solid worms is the Phylum
Definition
Platyhelminthes
Term

Definition
parasitic; free-living
Term
There are two classes of parasitic flatworms
