Characteristics(3-5)
Biomes
(where they live)
Adaptations
(at least 2)
*invertebrates
*have tentacles with stinging cells
*found in water
*radial symmetry around mouth
*oceans/seas over world favor
warm/tropical
*some in salty mouths of rivers or
in freshwater
*stinging cells for protection (nematocysts)
*able to filter feed from water around them
*invertebrates
*round, smooth body
*move by contracting muscles
*many are parasitic and microscopic
*many have suckers to attach
*most are parasites
*in host organism
*almost everywhere on land, in
water
*not at poles
*fresh and salt water
*land that is moist
*small size to enter host
*weak bodies—easier to live in host
*absorb oxygen by diffusion
*most have suckers/structures to attach to host*no need for circulatory system
*can survive with broken or damaged segment
*hair-like bristles to help anchor and propel
*invertebrates
*one shell
*most organs are contained in visceral mass in
shell
*everywhere
*Land and water poles to tropics
*able to withdraw into shell for protection
*has cutting mouth part (radula) to shred food
*invertebrates
*most complex—closed circulatory system and
simple nervous system
*identical repeating body segments
*contract muscles to move
*can survive if one segment is damaged
*vertebrates
*cold blooded
*skeleton made of cartilage, not bone
*breath through gills
*have fins
*fresh and salt water
*land that is moist
*can survive with broken or damaged segment
*hair-like bristles to help anchor and propel
*mostly salt water all over the
globe
*some can live in fresh water
*vertebrates
*coldblooded
*skeletons made of bone
*many have swim bladder
*most reproduce w/external fertilization
*water all over the world
*in fresh and salt water, oceans and
rivers all depths
*keen hearing to locate prey
*tapetum lucidum to help see in dim light
*rough skin
*often have coloring to blend in to bottom of ocean or
level of ocean they live/hunt in
*cartilage allows for more flexibility that bone
*fins help provide stability
*strong sense of hearing to help capture prey
*swim bladder helps with buoyancy
*(some)have color patterns to help camouflage or
display for mating
*scales for protection
*most advanced invertebrates
*all over the world in oceans,
*prefers bottom of ocean
*tentacles to catch prey
*(some) can spray ink to escape danger
*freshwater to ocean
*shallow to deep sea
bottom
*hard shell for protection
*have gills to breath underwater
Cephalopods *no shell
*large head surrounded by tentacles
Bivalves
*invertebrates
*to movable shells attached by muscular
hinge
*many use foot for movement
