Answer to Question #295708 in Cell Biology for ary

Question

1. What is the body symmetry, types of gut, and body cavity of human and starfish

2. Describe 2 human and starfish adaptation features.

Answer 1

The body plans of most animals, including humans, exhibit mirror symmetry, also called bilateral symmetry. They are symmetric about a plane running from head to tail (or toe). Bilateral symmetry is so prevalent in the animal kingdom that many scientists think that it can't be a coincidence.

Humans and Sea Stars both have an organ that resembles a joint. Humans and Sea Stars both have food excreted from the same place, and a small intestine that performs that function. They both need to absorb food and secrete it in order for the digestive system to be enabled. They can both see and detect light.
