Males and females have distinct morphological differences and is exhibited by Nematodes

Attachment during feeding

The anterior sucker of medicinal leeches (Class Hirudinea) is primarily involved in:

Movement and gas exchange

What is the main function of tube feet in echinoderms?

Holothuroidea

Which class of echinoderms is known for their ability to expel part of their internal organs as a defense mechanism?

Setae

Found in annelids, primary function is for locomotion and anchorage

Oligochaeta

Which class of annelids lacks parapodia and has a well-developed clitellum?

Choanocytes

Unique characteristic of Porifera

Choanocytes

Cell type in Porifera is responsible for generating water currents

It facilitates higher filtration rates of water and food particles.

In complex sponges, what is the role of the extensively branched canal system?

Radial symmetry

Symmetry typically exhibited by cnidarians

Gastrovascular cavity

Found in Cnidarians, it aids in digestion, gas exchange, and excretion.

Ascon

By filtering large volumes of water daily.

How do sponges contribute to reducing water turbidity in coastal areas?

Mesenchyme cells

Cells responsible for secreting skeletal elements in Porifera

Gemmules

Reproductive method in sponges that can lead to the development of a new sponge under harsh environmental conditions
