KINGDOM ANIMALIA

PORIFERA

• Mostly sponges
• Spend most of their lives on the ocean floor
• Maintain homeostasis through diffusion, osmosis and cell transport
• Eat by filtering water through their bodies. The water contains nutrients and small organisms.
• For protection, they secrete a toxic substance that keeps predators and parasites away

PORIFERA

• (vase sponge, barrel sponge, euplectella)
• Reproduce asexually by budding and sexually

CNIDARIA

• aquatic animals with a radical body shape
• They maintain homeostasis by secreting hormones from glands
• They defend themselves, and get food by using their stingers

CNIDARIA

• Jellyfish, sea anemones, and corals
• are able to reproduce sexually and asexually

PLATYHELMINTHES

• Worms with thin, flattened tissues and sensory organs
• Absorb nutrients from the digested food in which they live
• Maintain homeostasis with a digestive tract

PLATYHELMINTHES

• flukes, tapeworms, planarians
• Reproduce sexually
• Protect themselves by infecting and causing diseases

NEMATODA

• Small, round worms. Most causing parasitic diseases.
• Maintain homeostasis with digestive systems
• Absorb nutrients by eating plant matter

NEMATODA

• Reproduce sexually
• Defend themselves by eating them host
• Hookworms, pinworms, and guinea worms

ANNELIDA

• segmented worms. Body is made of many similar segments
• Maintain homeostasis with a digestive and circulatory system along with organs that collect and excrete waste
• Earthworms, leeches and marine worms

ANNELIDA

• Absorb nutrients by eating organic waste materials
• Reproduce sexually and asexually
• Protect themselves by burying into the dirt and having a hard outer skin

MOLUSCA

• Soft-bodied aquatic animals, usually with a hard outer shell
• Protect themselves with their hard outer shells and exoskeleton
• Absorb nutrients by eating small organisms

MOLUSCA

• Oysters, garden snails, giant squid
• Reproduce sexually
• Maintain homeostasis with their excretory system

ANTHROPODA

• Most live on land, have an exoskeleton, and jointed appendages
• Maintains homeostasis with an excretory system
• Reproduces sexually

ANTHROPODA

• Scorpions, beetles and crabs
• Absorbs nutrients by eating small organisms
• Protects itself with its hard outer skin and excretes enzymes

ENCHINODERMATA

• Slow moving, marine animals with radial symmetry
• Maintains homeostasis with a digestive system
• Protected by poisonous spines

ENCHINODERMATA

• Absorbs nutrients by grazing for food on the ocean floor
• Reproduces sexually
• Starfish, sand dollar, and sea urchins

CHORDATA

• Bilateral symmetry, has legs
• Maintains homeostasis by having an excretory and digestive system
• Absorb nutrients by eating organisms or plants

CHORDATA

• Reproduce sexually
• Protect themselves with an endoskeleton and immune system
• Monkeys, humans, turtles
