    Phylum Cnidaria Worksheet

    The document describes an activity where students identify and classify different specimens of cnidarians. Students drew 13 specimens from classes including Hydrozoa, Anthozoa, and Scyphozoa and labeled their parts. They then classified each specimen according to class, body structure as colonial or solitary, and whether the dominant stage was polyp or medusa. The key bases for classifying cnidarians are morphology, body structure, class, and lifestyle. Cnidarians are ecologically important as both predators and prey, some have neurotoxins useful for research, and can be used as jewelry, infrastructure, or habitat for other animals.

    2. Why do cnidarians belong to metazoans? The cnidarians belong to the metazoans because of its radial symmetry that is theorized to have evolved from the metazoans. 3. What are the bases of classifying cnidarians? Bases used for classifying cnidarians are morphology, body structure (polyp or medusa), classes (hydrozoa, anthozoa, or scyphozoa) and lifestyle (solitary or colonial). 4. What is the ecological importance of cnidarians? Cnidarians are predators and prey. They have neurotoxins that can be used for medical research. They can be used as jewelry or infrastructures and habitat for other animals.
