ANSWER THESE:
1. What are the distinguishing characteristics of each group of
arthropods?
2. What is the most common characteristic of the animals
inside the box?
Invertebrates are animals without backbones. They have
economic importance. They are sources of food, medicine, and are
used in scientific investigations and contribute to the harmony of
organisms in the environment.
Classification of Invertebrates:
➢ Poriferans are marine animals full of pores or holes. Its body is
a hollow tube with many pores or openings. These holes serve as
passage for water which carries nutrients and gases. The wall of
the body is made of two walls.
Example: Sponges or pore-bearing animals
➢ Coelenterate/ Cnidarian are hollow-bodied or soft-bodied
animals. Their bodies are made up of two layers of cells which
form a hollow tube.
Examples: Fresh water hydras, hydroids, jellyfish, sea fans, sea
anemones, and corals
➢ Platyhelminthes have bodies that look like ribbons. They have
no space inside so they have no digestive system.
Examples: Flatworms and Tapeworms
➢ Nematoda or Nematodes consist of animals called
roundworms. They are unsegmented bodies long, thin, round, and
pointed at one or both ends. Some of them are also parasites.
Examples: Ascaris and Hookworm.
➢ Annelids are segmented worms. They are the most complex
among the worms. Their bodies are divided into segments.
Examples: Earthworm and Leeches
➢ Mollusca or Mollusks are soft bodied or shelled animals. Most
animals like the clams, oysters and snails have shells that protect
their soft bodies.
Examples: Snails, slugs, clams, mussels, oysters, squids and
octopuses
➢ Echinodermata or Echinoderms are spiny-skinned sea
animals. They have hard shells covered with prickly spines or
needles.
Examples: Starfish, sand dollars, sea urchins, and sea
cucumber
➢ Arthropoda or Arthropods are joint-legged animals. They
make up the largest group in the animal kingdom. Their legs are
jointed. Their bodies and legs are made up of sections. They have
an outside shell called the exoskeleton.
Four groups of Arthropods:
• Crustaceans have a hard-outer body covering divided into
sections.
Examples: Crabs, lobsters and shrimps
• Insects are small, six-legged animals or have three pairs of
walking legs.
 Examples: Bees, ants, wasps, butterflies, cockroaches,
ladybugs, fireflies, termites, moths and
grasshopper
• Arachnids have four pairs of walking legs. Have two body
segments and no antennae.
Examples: scorpions, mites, ticks and spiders
• Myriapods are animals with many legs.
Examples: Centipede means “hundred feet” while Millipede
means “thousand feet”
