Question
Chapter 27.1, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
Whether the sponges are less successful or “highly evolved” than other animal groups.
Concept introduction:
Sponges belong to phylum “Porifera”. They are considered as basal animals as they were the first animal to have evolved on earth.
They are the most primitive animals with cellular level of organisation. They lack true tissues, but contain specialized cells for carrying out various activities. They are filter feeders.

How humans learn and remember things is still one of the major unsolvedbiological mysteries. Much of what is currently understood about learning andmemory and the biological basis of behaviour comes from the study ofinvertebrates, including the gastropod molluscs. Describe the types ofexperiments that have been performed on gastropods and the extent to whicheach has increased our understanding of how animals learn.
