What does the majority of Kingdom Animalia lack?
A vertebral column (so they’re invertebrate)
Sponges (Phylum Porifera): Where are the pores, spongocoel, and osculum?
Pores = on the surface Spongocoel = interior cavity Osculum = chimney-like opening attatched to the spongocoel
*Sponges are suspension feeders. Sea water is circulated into the spongocoel, is filtered for fine suspended matter by individual sponge cells, and exits through a chimney-like opening, the osculum

Story of the bird song:
Ravin + Creator (I think) decided to put on a competition to see who gets to choose their sound so that we can tell everyone apart/who’s talking.
Eagle: Flew up and touched the clouds with his head and tail - thats why they’re white there - Shows you should work hard and have determination - eagle won
Robin: Rode on Eagle’s back to fly a bit higher than him. Burnt his chest red because he got so close to the sun. Robin was given a song that sounds like “I cheated”. He has to use that song during the day, except for early in the morning and late evening he gets a pretty song. This was to remind him not to cheat.
Crow: Didn’t fly up because he thought he would get a pretty song anyways since he’s related to Raven. Obviously that didn’t work. Teaches you not to rely on others for a good rep.
Seagull: Flew up but got distracted playing in the wind and laughing - his song sounds like laughter - teaches you to stay focused.
how do echinoderms move their tube feet?
by squeezing around water with their water vascular systems.
what are some common features that a sea urchin has?
spines, pedicellariae, and tube feet
probably need to label a diagram
what are some features that a sea star has?
spines, madreporite (on aboral surface [top]), pedicellariae, tube feet, and papulae (on oral surface [underside])
probably need to label a diagram with these on it
what are papulae?
skin gills
what are some features that a sea cucumber has?
oral tentacles and tube feet
probably need to know how to label these on diagram
Story of the Clams:
There was a very shy group pf people who hid anytime they saw someone new. They were on the beach when creator was coming near so they hid in the sand, and all you could see was the whites of their eyes. Creator could still sense them there though and said something like “since you like hiding in the sand I will turn you into something that benefits others” and turned them into clams. They had buried themselves at different depths, and this is what gives us the different types of clams.

fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
fat ass represent bad moms

What are two things that are invertebrate chordates?
sea squirts (tunicates) and lancelets
Salmon ceremony:
(I don’t remember this one very well so feel free to add to it)
They carry the salmon out of the water with a limp to acknowledge how pathetic humans are - because we rely on other animals to survive and stuff and don’t have sharp teeth of claws - and they have a special way of cleaning the fish so that they can pull the whole skeleton + organs out in one piece. They send that back out into the water head first so that they can pay their respects to its relatives in hopes that they will come back next year.
what is a tunic?
a protective covering that is composed of polysaccharide (which is similar to cellulose) ….
(its a thing that a tunicate has)
how to tunicates filter feed?
with their pharyngeal basket….
they draw water in with their incurrent siphon and expel water with their excurrent siphon
how do tunicates get their name sea squirt?
when they are distressed they eject a jet of water through their excurrent siphon. .
…. they squirt …
< .< hehe
why are lancelets also called “little blade”?
because they are small and laterally flattened.
