Term
Definition
Animal Kingdom   Includes the very small to the very large organisms on Earth. Animals are multicellular eukaryotes, heterotrophic, and reproduce sexually.  
🗑
Incomplete Digestive Tract   Only one opening (food & wastes use the same opening).  
🗑
Complete Digestive Tract   Separate openings for food & wastes.  
🗑
Asymmetrical Body   Irregular shape (i.e. sponges, who are the simplest animals).  
🗑
Symmetrical Body   Most animals are balanced in their shape.  
🗑
Coelom   A fluid-filled body cavity. The presence of a coelom allows for the development of more complex organ systems. Animals with a coelom = coelomates Animals without a coelom = acoelomates  
🗑
Reproduction   All animals reproduce sexually Some also reproduce asexually Some are hermaphrodites = have both male & female reproductive organs  
🗑
Invertebrate   Lack of internal structures Reproduction includes sexual & asexual Some are coelomate (i.e. earthworm) & some are acoelomate (i.e. flatworm)  
🗑
8 Phyla of Invertebrates   1.Porifera 2.Cnidaria 3.Platyhelminthes 4.Nematoda 5.Annelida 6.Mollusca 7.Echinodermata 8.Arthropoda  
🗑
Phylum Porifera   Means “pore-bearing” Example: Sponges  
🗑
Phylum Cnidaria `   Means “thistle” Examples: Jellyfish, corals, sea anemones, hydras  
🗑
Phylum Platyhelminthes   Means “flat, wide worms” Examples: Tapeworms, flukes, planarians  
🗑
Phylum Nematoda   Means “thread-like” Examples: Pinworms, hookworms  
🗑
Phylum Annelida   Means “ring” Examples: Earthworms, leeches, tubeworms  
🗑
Phylum Mollusca   Means “soft-bodied” Examples: clams, oysters, squids, octopi, snails, slugs, scallops  
🗑
Phylum Echinodermata   Means “spiny-skinned” Examples: starfish, sea cucumbers, sand dollars, sea urchins  
🗑
Phylum Arthropoda   The MOST successful phylum!! Over 1 million species have been identified. Very diverse – some live at the bottom of the ocean, and some float in the air.  
🗑
Arthropods   Have jointed appendages. Have bilateral symmetry. Have a coelom. Have a “tube within a tube” digestive system. Reproduce sexually.  
🗑
Exoskeleton   A rigid, jointed external skeleton. Is waterproof and protects against water loss. They must shed their exoskeleton in order to grow.  
🗑
Insects   They have many adaptations for feeding. Most are small in size, allowing them to hide. The nature of their body segments & attached appendages. Their well-developed nervous system. Their structures & functions related to feeding themselves.  
🗑
Mimicry   The ability to look like something else.  
🗑
