Invertebrate Animal Invertebrate animals are animals that do not have a backbone (or any bone tissue)
Invertebrate Animal Invertebrates live just about anywhere - frozen tundra - tropical rain forest - desert - water
Invertebrate Animal The fact that invertebrates do not have a backbone seems to limit their size Ocean dwelling invertebrates can be quite large
Sponges • Poriferans – having many pores • Sessile – do not move • Made up of a collection of cells • Feed continuously on plankton and tiny organisms Reproduces: asexually – buds break off sexually – fertilized eggs become larva
Cnidarians • Central body cavity • Have tentacles • Have nematocysts (stinging cells with a barbed filament) • Food enters and waste exits through same opening Reproduces: sexually – larvae asexually -buds
Worms • 3 types of tube shaped organisms • Take in oxygen through their skin • Flatworms – simple body structures • Roundworms – have body systems; decomposers • Annelids – segmented, simple organ systems Reproduce sexually and asexually; have male and female parts
Mollusks • Soft bodied • Many have shells • Have a muscular foot • Have a mantle (layer of folded skin for protection)
Echinoderms • Spiny skinned • Exoskeleton • Have skeleton-like plates • Have tube feet Star fish Sea Urchin Shell Sand Dollar
Arthropods • Jointed legs • Exoskeleton that molt • Generally has head, thorax, abdomen • Has open circulatory system (no blood vessels)
Class: Insects • Have 3 pairs of legs • Reproduce sexually • Undergo metamorphosis (larva pupa adult) Video
Class: Crustaceans • 3 pair of legs, 2 pair of sensory antennae • Open circulatory system • Reproduce sexually
Class: Arachnids • Exoskeleton • 4 pair of legs, no antennae • 2 body segments
Millipedes, Centipedes • Long segmented bodies • Millipedes have 2 pairs of legs per segment • Centipedes have 1 pair of legs per segment
Body plans • Radial symmetry • organized around a central point • mouth-like opening leads to a gut • Bilateral symmetry • Identical left and right side • Mouth at front, waste opening at end
