5.5.3 Distinguish between the followingphyla of animals, using simple external recognition features:porifera,cnidaria,platyhelminthes, annelida,mollusca andarthropoda.

Porifera

- Multicelluarorganismswithbodiesfull of pores and channelsallowingwater to circulatethroughtheirbodies to obtainfood, oxygenwater and waste.

Cnidaria-cnidocytes, specialized cells that they use mainly for capturing prey. -mesoglea, a non-living jelly-like substance, sandwiched between two layers of epithelium that are mostly one cell thick.- They have two basic body forms: swimming medusae and sessile polyps, both of which are radially symmetrical with mouths surrounded by tentacles that bear cnidocytes. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/cnidaria

Platyhelmithes- unsegmented, soft-bodied invertebrate-they have no body cavity, and no specialized circulatory and respiratory organs -flattened shapes that allow oxygen and nutrients to pass through their bodies by diffusion. -thedigestive cavity has only one opening for both the ingestion (intake of nutrients) and egestion (removal of undigested wastes)

Annelida-Segmentedworms-Withmanyhavingparapodiaforlocomotion

Mollusca-Very diverse group, containingsquid, cuttlefish, snailsAll havea dorsal part of the body wall is a mantle which secretes calcareous spicules, plates or shells. -mantle cavityincludingtheanus and genitals open into the mantle cavity.- two pairs of main nerve cords

Arthropoda-Animals having an exoskeleton (external skeleton), -a segmented bodyand jointed appendages.
