Term
| What are the characteristics of organisms in the clade Asteroidea? |
|
Definition
1. 5 or more arms that radiate out from a central disk
2.have internal skeletal plates that approach adjacent plates to form a fairly complete endoskeleton
3. Have gills that accomplish gas exchange
4. have calcareous ridges and short spines to deter predators |

Term
What is the mode of nutrition for asteroideans?
What do they eat and how do they accomplish this? |
|
Definition
Carnivourous predators
feed on molluscs especially bivalves
Use of their tube feet to grasp prey and pry apart the shells enough to evert the lower part of their stomach to release digestive enzymes on the prey.
The sea star then consumes the digested tissues |
