  • Cnidarians: Understanding Gastrovascular Cavities in Invertebrates
    The invertebrate that has a gastrovascular cavity is a cnidarian.

    Here's why:

    * Gastrovascular Cavity: This is a single opening that serves as both a mouth and an anus. It's a simple digestive system where food enters and waste exits through the same opening.

    * Cnidarians: This phylum includes jellyfish, corals, sea anemones, and hydras. They are characterized by having a sac-like body with a gastrovascular cavity.

    Other examples of animals with gastrovascular cavities:

    * Platyhelminthes (flatworms): While they don't have a true gastrovascular cavity, they have a branched gut with one opening that acts similarly.
