Question

a marine biologist on a dive working to catalog species discovers what appears to be three species new to the coral reef she is studying. read her descriptions and then drag each one to the animal group to which it belongs.
soft bodied, with round radially symmetrical body with long tentacles
animal with hard outer shell with two halves soft bodied with no pattern of symmetry
drag each item above to its appropriate location in the image. note that every item may not have a match, while some items may have more than one match.

Explanation:

• Soft - bodied, with round radially symmetrical body with long tentacles: Cnidarians are characterized by radial symmetry and tentacles (e.g., jellyfish).
• Animal with hard outer shell with two halves: Bivalve mollusks (a type of mollusk) have a hard shell with two halves (e.g., clams).
• Soft - bodied with no pattern of symmetry: Sponges have an asymmetrical body plan.

Answer:

• soft - bodied, with round radially symmetrical body with long tentacles: Cnidarians
• animal with hard outer shell with two halves: Mollusks
• soft - bodied with no pattern of symmetry: Sponges
