Answer 1

Examples of representative species: sea cucumbers, sea urchins, starfish. basic morphology: calcareous endoskeleton with spines, ambulacral machine. kind of symmetry: secondary radial. Germ layers and coelom: triploblastic, coelomates. Digestive device: whole, deuterostomes. respiratory system: nonexistent. Circulatory gadget: nonexistent. Excretory machine: nonexistent. anxious device: simple, nerve network without ganglia or cephalization. type of duplicate: sexual, with a larval stage.
