Summary Introduction

To determine:

Where the echinoderm would be placed in the animal kingdom.

Introduction:

Echinoderms are radially symmetrical, triploblastic, coelomate animals. They are mostly marine and contain water vascular system for locomotion. They have spines on their body, hence named echinoderms. The echinoderms include sea star, sea cucumber, sea urchin and others.

Create a concept map or an illustration drawing for each phylum (annelida, Platyhelminthes, nemotod, echinoderms, chordata) that will help you classify invertebrate animals into that group
Create a body plan table (Insert → Add Table) for the following animal phyla: Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Mollusca, Annelida, Nematoda, Arthropoda, Echinodermata, and Chordata. Describe each phylum by identifying the following body plan features. Use Lesson 12 (Chapter 32) and Lesson 13 (Chapter 33) as a guide. 1) Symmetry: Asymmetrical, Radial, or Bilateral 2) Tissue type: Parazoa, Eumetazoa (diploblastic), or Eumetazoa (triploblastic) 3) Body cavity (if triploblastic): Acoelomate, Psuedocoelomate, or Coelomate 4) Developmental mode (if Coelomate): Protostome or Dueuterostome Note: Depending on the body plan, features 3 & 4 may not apply to specific phyla. * Please answer 3) and 4) ONLY. Thank you.
examine the morphology of a millipede and a butterfly.  What characters do they share? Notice how their bodies are divided into several specialized regions called tagmata. How did tagmatization contribute to the diversity of arthropods?
