has cell walls
74
95% of all animals are what? Less than 5% of all animals are what?
95% invertebrates 5% vertebrates
75
a stable internal environment in organisms

to get nutrients and energy
77

produces diversity to allow organisms to adapt to a changing environment and new living conditions
78
What body system works closely with the muscles to allow movement?
skeletal
79
How does muscle tissue work to allow movement?
contracts or shortens to pull on bones

Africa
96
Why do echinoderm larva have bilteral symmetry?
Echinoderms have a bilateral ancestor. Bilateral symmetry allows the larvae to move to new locations before becoming adults.
