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 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?
Construct a character matrix by making observations on the different features of the following group of invertebrates. On the table, write 1 if the character is present in (or exhibited by) the group;   0 if absent (or is not exhibited). Group of organisms Segmentation Coelom Jointed appendages Cephalization Tissues Radial symmetry Porifera             Arthropods             Cnidarians             Nematodes             Annelids             Input the characters in the pre-made cladogramthat is provided for you. Also, write in the empty boxes the correct group of organisms to show relationships. One character and one group of organism is done for you.
