The Porifera are not considered to display tissue-level organization; however, some zoologists consider the Placozoa to be diploblasts. Two of the following statements are true and support these conclusions. A third statement is also true but does not support the conclusions. Which stotement does NOT support the above conclusions? Multiple Choice The pinacoderm of poriferans is similar to an epithelium, but does not rest on a basal lamina. The upper and lower epidermal layers of placozoans are thought by some zoologists to be derived from ectodermal and endodermat sources. The lower epidermis is thought to be endodermal because of its nutnitive functions. Both the Porifers and Placozoa have cells that are specialized for specific functions, but in addition the Placozos have fibrous contractile cels between upper and lower epidermal layers. .
