Organisms that spend their entire adult lives attached to one spot are said to be
a. sessile.
b. heterotrophic.
c. flagellated.
d. symmetric.

In an echinoderm, the structure that operates like a living suction cup is the
a. madreporite.
b. tube foot.
c. stomach.
d. water vascular system.

Respuesta :

a. sessile. b. tube foot.

Sessile is the term given to the organisms, which spend their entire adult lives attached to one spot. Tube feet is the structure that works as a suction cup in the echinoderm.

• The biological property of an species, which illustrates that it lacks a means of locomotion by self is known as sessility.

• The sessile organisms are naturally immobile. These organisms spend entirely their lives in one spot unless they are moved with the help of external force like water current.

• The large number of small flexible hollow appendages projecting through the ambulacra in an echinoderm, which is used for collecting food or for locomotion are known as tube feet.

• Each of the tube feet functions like a sticky suction cup, which helps to hold the surface underneath the echinoderm, this helps them in movement.

Thus, the correct answers are options a for 1st question and option b for 2nd question.
