There are no organs for excretion and gas exchange in cnidarians. How do they accomplish
these two functions?
Solution
Humans have lungs which is well developed to breath in and expel out the gases. In fishes, the
gills plays role in respiration. In certain organisms like frogs even skin also act in passive
exchange of gases. Cnidarians like in water but they do not have any gills to respire. They are not
well developed to possess lungs. Diffusion is the process which could be seen in exchange of
gases in cnidarians. The gaseous particles move from higher concentration to lower
concentration through direct diffusion in cnidarians. Cnidarians lack digestive, excretory and
circulatory systems. Gastrovascular cavity plays main role in digestion and distribution of food
particles throughout the body in cnidarians and also in expelling waste materials to out through
its single opening. This gastrovascular cavity has a single opening which both acts as mouth and
anus. This gastrovascular cavity functions in respiration, digestion, and discharge of gametes. All
the food particles/waste particles enter and exit the gastrovascular cavity through its single
opening. Nitrogenous waste materials have been removed in the form of ammonia have been
excreted through body surfaces.
