  • Cnidarians vs. Mollusks: Understanding Body Symmetry Differences
    One way that cnidarians and mollusks differ is in their body symmetry.

    * Cnidarians are radially symmetrical, meaning their bodies can be divided into equal halves by any plane that passes through the center. Think of a jellyfish or a sea anemone.

    * Mollusks are bilaterally symmetrical, meaning their bodies can be divided into two mirror-image halves along a single plane. Think of a snail, clam, or octopus.
