| Phylum Cnidaria | Cnidocytes-stinging cells used for protection |
| Phylum Cnidaria | Radial symmetry Mesoglea- separate 2 tissue layers Gastrovascular Cavity-space in middle of body for digestion and reproduction |
| Body Forms Phylum Cnidaria | Polyp- attached with tentacles up (ex. Sea anenome) Medusa- free floating with tentacles down (jellyfish) |
| Phylum Arthropoda | Krill, lobster, crab, shrimp |
| Phylum Arthropoda | Jointed appendages Segmented bodies Chitin exoskeleton Bilateral symmetry Crayfish use chelipeds to grasp food |

| Phylum Arthropoda Subphylum Crustacea | Barnacles, krill, crab, shrimp, lobster |
| Phylum Echinodermata | Sea urchin, sea cucumber, sand dollar, brittle stars, sea stars, crinoids |
| Phylum Echinodermata Characteristics | Radial symmetry Spiny skin Water vascular system Tube feet - used for movement and digestion |
| Phylum Annelida | Polychaete worms Nephridia- water regulating tubes Segmentation Among most common marine organisms Found living in ocean depths, floating free near surface, or burrowing in mud and sand of beach |
| Phylum Ctenophora | Comb jellies Not a member of Cnidaria Rows of cilia No cnidocytes- can't sting |
| Phylum Mollusca | Mantle- muscular bad that surrounds visceral mass and secretes calcium carbonate she'll Muscular foot- movement |
| Phylum Mollusca | Radula- tongue-like structure with scraping teeth for feeding Trochophore larvae- free swimming , with several bands of cilia |
| Phylum Mollusca | Shell- encloses, supports, and protects the soft part of animal Cephalization (cephalopods)- head-foot |
| Phylum Mollusca Class Gastropoda | Sea hares, snails, conchs, whelks, nudibranches (sea slug) |
| Phylum Mollusfa Class Bivalvia | Oysters, clams, mussels, scallops Filter feeders, adductors hold 2 shells together |
| Phylum Mollusca Class Cephalopoda | Squid, octopus, cuttlefish, nautilus Developed brain Most intelligent is thought to be the octopus |
