Final answer:
Echinoderms lack respiratory and excretory systems. They use their tube feet for oxygen and waste exchange, have an open circulatory system, and communicate using pheromones. Some echinoderms can regenerate body parts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Echinoderms lack respiratory and excretory systems. Instead, the thin walls of their tube feet allow oxygen to diffuse in and wastes to diffuse out. Echinoderms also lack a centralized nervous system. They have an open circulatory system and lack a heart. On the other hand, echinoderms have a well-developed coelom and a complete digestive system. Echinoderms use pheromones to communicate with each other. They detect the chemicals with sensory cells on their body surface. Some echinoderms also have simple eyes (ocelli) that can sense light. Like annelids, echinoderms have the ability to regenerate a missing body part.
