2. INVERTEBRATES jeopardy
Animals that don’t have a backbone are called
invertebrates
They are very diverse and they are 90% of all
animal species
Some of them, such as jellyfish and worms have no
protection for their soft bodies.
Others, such as snails and claims, have a soft body
inside a hard shell

3. Think of some animals that live in water, soil or air
that don’t have a backbone
WATER SOIL AIR
6. Poriferans
No mouth, stomach or
other organs.
Most live in oceans.
Cannot move
They filter the water to eat
(up to 1 ton to get 30g)
They can grow back any
broken part.
Sponges feeding

7. CNIDARIANS: INVERTEBRATES WITH
STINGING CELLS
They have tentacles
They have a mouth
On the ocean floor:
POLYPS: anemones and
corals
Move: JELLYFISH
jellyfish
Sea anemone
coral
Anemone eat fish
8. WORMS
They can grow back parts if they
lose parts
Some worms can grow up up to 30
meters long (tenia)
Plathelminths: flatworms and
tapeworm(tenia, parasite),
Nematodes: stomach parasites,
intestinal worm, anisakis (fish) y
triquina (pig). No segments,
cilinders, pointed end.
Annelids: cilinders, segmented.
More complex. Earth worm, leech
(sanguijuela).
Plathelmint:
Annelids: earthworm
Nematode:
intestine worm
10. MOLLUSKS
They live on land, salty and fresh
water
Two main parts: mantle and foot.
Some of them can make shells
from the mantle.
Bivalves: Two valves and a foot
to dig and hide inside the sand or
to move
Gastropods: they use the foot to
move. They have tentacles and
they have a special tongue:
radula.
Cephalopods: No external shell*.
Foot is divided in tentacles to
move with propulsion.
squid
snail
octopus
clam
Mussel
11. EQUINODERMS: INVERTEBRATES WITH
ENDOESQUELETON MADE OF CALCIUM
PLATES
Radial simetry, at least 5 sections
They have special feet to move
They can regenerate parts of their
bodies.
They use tubes to feed. .
Sea stars
Sea Urchin
Sea cucumber
Regeneration
13. ARTHROPODS
Exoesqueleton made of chitin: resistant but not
flexible(they molt to renew it when they grow.
Divided in head, torax and abdomen.
They have articulated appendage (legs, wings or
antennae)
14. INSECTS
The biggest arthropods group
3 pairs of legs. 6 LEGS
3 sections (head, thorax,
abdomen)
Some groups with compound
eyes
Adapted appendages in the
mouth
Indirect growth: from larvae to
the adult (sometimes pupa
stage)
fly
beetle
grasshopper
butterfly
15. ARACHNIDS
4 pairs of legs
Most of them live on
earth
Cephalothoreax and
abdomen.
Chelicerae with
poison.
spider
DUST
MITES:
ÁCAROS
tick:garrapata
SCORPION
16. CRUSTACEANS
They have 5 pairs of legs.
Some of them have two
legs modified in claws
On the ocean floor
Microscopic ones:
zooplancton
cephalothorax and
abdomen
crab
shrimp
lobsterzooplancton
17. MIRIAPODS: MILIPEDES AND
CENTIPEDES.
Many segments
Live under the rocks
In fact they don’t have
neither 100 nor 1000 feet.
They protect themselves
by rolling into a ball
(milipedes)
Milipedes: 4 legs in each
segment
Centipedes: 2 legs in
each segment
milipedes
Centipedes
(escalopendra)
