sponge

cnidarian
one group of animals with stinging cell, called cnidocytes, including jellyfish
echinoderm
one group of animals with spiny skin, including sea stars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers
mollusk
one group of animals with soft bodies and usually a shell, including snails octopuses, and clams

what kind of symmetry can be divided into left and right halves through a midline
bilateral
animals are classified by the presence of…
a head region, a body cavity, and a backbone
how is today’s classification system different from when Carolus Linnaeus created it
Many animals have been reclassified according to their supposed evolutionary relationships
t/f- an animal that supports it’s body with a hard outer covering has an endoskeleton
false
t/f- all chordates have vertebrate
false
t/f-Ectotherms can regulate their inner temperatures using body coverings and internal processes
false
list and give examples of each kind of symmetry
bilateral:crab, radial:starfish, asymmetry: tube sponge
