Sponges Ex: Venus-flower basket sponge Definition: A type of animal that filters the water it lives in to get food Body Systems: It can spread over rock, not symmetrical, varies in sizes

depending on species Reproduction: "Buds and braches grow from a parent sponge. These buds

break off and grow into new sponges.” Another way is that a larva hatches and attaches to a hard surface

Food: Small whip like cells grab food, inside cells collect them, and those cells inside can make a kind of skeleton

Habitat: Bottom of the ocean floor, surface of the water, rocks, and large animals

Predators/Problems: Parrotfish eat sponges and our man made creations and materials we use(oil can kill their food, pollution, and a drunk person driving off the road and falling into the water in their car or motorcycle)

Adaptations/Fun Facts: The small whip like cells help pump water into it’s body and grab small food particles

MB

Cnidarians Jellyfish Definition: A phylum of invertebrates who have tentacles to sting its prey

or predators. Body systems: Cnidarians have radical symmetry but they don’t have any

internal organs but instead have organized cell tissue that work together Reproduction: Cnidarians reproduce both sexually and asexually by

spraying the eggs with sperm then the jellyfish breaks off from its parent Food: Cnidarians are carnivores that use there stingers to paralyze their

prey. Habitat: Cnidarians live in salt and fresh water territories Predators: the predators of the jelly fish are leather back sea turtles Fun Facts: A fun fact is that Cnidarians only have one digestive opening.

AU

Flatworms Ex: tapeworms Definition: An animal, such as a planarian, that has a flattened body, a

digestive system with only one opening and a simple nervous system Body Systems: Two nerve cords extend the length of the body but can

only sense light and dark Reproduction: Sexual reproduction, they spread their cells into the

water for eggs to form Food: Only one tube that sucks food then disposes of the waste Habitat: Under rocks, in mud, fresh water environments, uncooked

meats Predators/Problems: Oil, things in the water that cleans like chlorine,

and a knife will only make more Adaptations/Fun Facts: To be able to grow Back it’s head or tail

Nematodes Ascaris+Definition: An animal with a round tube like

body and two digestive openingsBody systems: nematodes have bilateral

symmetry and muscles along their body to move. Reproduction: nematodes reproduce sexually

Food: nematodes eat bugs or dying plant matter.Habitat: nematodes live in the ground or other

organisms Predators and problems: nematodes are eaten

by anything bigger than it.

AnnelidsEarth worms+Definition: an animal such as an earth worm who’s

body is made up of connected sections or segments.Body systems: annelids have bilateral symmetry

they breath through their skin annelids also have brains and five tubes for hearts they also have a nerve cord and move by contracting muscles

Food: annelids eat decaying plant and animal matter.Habitat: all annelids live in the soil.Predators and problems: many birds reptiles and

amphibians eat earth worms.Adaptions and fun facts: earth worms body

systems differ in many ways from regular worms.AU

Mollusks/Ex. snail

Definition: an animal with a soft body with no bones Body systems: they have well developed nervous systems that enable

them to move quickly Reproduction: They reproduce sexually by releasingeggs and sperm into the water where the eggs can fertilized Food: mollusks (that live in the water) catch small sea life. For ex. A

octopus has tentacles for grabbing and pulling the fish into it’s mouth Habitat: some mollusks live on land and some live in water. So mollusks

can be found all over the world Predators/Problems: Oil, pollution, and other echinoderms along with us Adaptation: A squid’s adaptations are, it can use it’s jet motion to get

away quickly. And it can squirt out inky fluid

DS

Arthropods/ex.spider

Definition: an animal that has joints exoskeleton and jointed limbs

Body systems: muscles inside the exoskeleton controlled too law complex movement

Reproduction: they reproduce sexually by reproduce sexually by releasing eggs and sperm into the water where the eggs can be fertilized.

Food: they eat meat and plants, they have 2 opens one for the food too go down, and one for waste

Habitat: any environment that supports life. Predators: Humans are the only thing that harm them. Adaptation: the 3 groups of arthropods are insects, arachnids,

crustaceans

DS

Echinoderms Ex: Sand Dollar Definition: An invertebrate that has an internal skeleton and spines that are part

of it’s skin Body Systems: No brain(that’s a no brainer), nerves that let it move and eat

though, limbs that grow from the center Reproduction: Releases cells into the water for eggs to form or if it grows it’s

limbs back Food: Starfish eat mussels, first it wraps I’s limbs around, then it will pry the shell

open to then wrap it’s stomach around to digest it, sand dollars eat small organic particles

Habitat: Inside sea water, rocks, or the ocean floor Predators/Problems: Oil, pollution, cars/motorbikes(just random) Adaptations/Fun Facts: Regeneration of limbs and camouflage to starfish
