Phylum Assessment
This phylum contains the simplest animals in the animal kingdom.
Porifera
This phylum contains the sponges.
Porifera
This phylum name means “porous” or “pore-bearing.”
Porifera
The animals in this phylum have little cell specialization and do not posses true body tissues.
Porifera
ALL members of this phylum are sessile filter-feeders.
Porifera
Water enters this animal through pores called ostia, and exits through the osculum.
Porifera
These animals have no front or back ends, and no right or left sides. They are asymmetrical.
Porifera
The animals in this phylum have skeletons composed of spongin and spicules.
Porifera
The animals in this phylum include the jellyfish, sea anemones, corals, Portuguese man-of-war, and freshwater hydra.
Cnidarian
These animals have radial symmetry and are the simplest animals to have specialized tissues.
Cnidarian
This phylum contains the “stinging-cell” animals because they have cells in their tentacles that can sting and kill their prey.
Cnidarian
The body plans for this phylum include the polyp and the medusa.
Cnidarian
Simple animals whose bodies are composed of only two cell layers separated by mesoglea. However, the cells are organized into true tissues.
Cnidarian
The center of the body has a hollow gut called a gastrovascular cavity. It has a single opening, or mouth, surrounded by tentacles.
Cnidarian
These animals have nematocysts which are used to inject a toxin into their prey.
Cnidarian
This phylum includes the Hydrozoa, the Cubozoa, the Scyphozoa, and the Anthozoa classes.
Cnidarian
The polyp form of this animal has a tube-shaped body with a base at one end and tentacles at the other end. It is sessile and the mouth points upward.
Cnidarian
Some animal have a pen made out of chitin for support
Mollusca
This phylum name means “spiny-skinned.”
Echinodermata
Examples include sea stars, sand dollars, sea urchins and sea cucumbers.
Echinodermata
The animals in this phylum have radial symmetry as adults, but develop from bilaterally symmetrical larvae.
Echinodermata
The adults in this phylum have no anterior or posterior end and lack cephalization. However, they are two-sided and have an oral surface and an aboral surface.
Echinodermata
These animals have an endoskeleton composed of calcium carbonate plates known as ossicles.
Echinodermata
These animals have a water vascular system that is used for movement and food getting.
Echinodermata
Tube feet are used for movement, feeding, respiration, and excretion.
Echinodermata
Many members of this phylum can invert their stomachs outward through their mouths to digest and consume food.
Echinodermata
This phylum name means “jointed-foot.”
Arthropoda
Examples include lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, insects, spiders, ticks, millipedes and centipedes.
Arthropoda
This is the most successful phylum in terms of the number of living species.
Arthropoda
These animals have jointed appendages, a segmented body, and an exoskeleton.
Arthropoda
These animals are covered by a tough external covering composed of chitin that surrounds and protects the body.
Arthropoda
This phylum contains arachnids and crustaceans.
Arthropoda
The members of this phylum have complex nervous systems consisting of a well developed brain, compound eyes, and specialized antennae.
Arthropoda
The process of molting is required in order for these animals to grow.
Arthropoda
Hollow nerve cord that develops into the brain and spinal cord.
Chordata
Tail opposite the head and extends past the anus.
Chordata
Pharyngeal slits that may develop into gills or structures of the jaw or ear..
Chordata
Contains invertebrates and vertebrates.
Chordata
Examples include salps, lancelets, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals
Chordata
Contain jawless, cartilaginous, and bony fish.
