This document defines and describes the main groups of vertebrate and invertebrate animals. It discusses the five groups of vertebrates - fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. It then defines different types of fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. For invertebrates, it outlines nine groups including protozoans, poriferans, coelenterates, platyhelminths, nematodes, annelids, echinoderms, mollusks, and arthropods. It provides details on the characteristics of examples from each of these invertebrate groups.

2. Animals with
backbone.
Five groups: fish,
amphibians, reptiles,
birds, and mammals

3. an aquatic animal
that breathes
through it gills, and
has a skeleton made
of either bones or
cartilages

4. fish that have a
swim bladder, a
gas-filled sac that
allows them to rise
or sink in the water.

9. this type of fish has
spindle-shaped bodies
and tail fins that are
used in swimming.
are generally covered
with scales and are cold
blooded.

12. are cold-blooded
vertebrate that is
covered with moist
skin, lay eggs in water,
and has a three-
chambered heart.

19. are cold-blooded
animals that is
covered with scales
and reacts to the
temperature of its
surroundings.

that are warm
blooded, has a
spindle-shaped
body, and is covered
with feathers.

43. are warm blooded
animals that has a hairy
body.
common mammals
include the primates,
marsupial, rodents,
cetaceans and seals.

44. the highest order of
mammals characterized
by hands and feet with
nails, eyes that face
forward, and a well-
developed brain.

51. are mammals that gives
birth to a young that
crawls into a special
abdominal pouch near
the mother’s mammary
glands.

55. mammals that is
also known as
gnawing animals
because of the way it
eats with its large
incisors.

63. mammals that
lives in water, but
must come to the
surface to breathe
air through its
blowhole.

68. a marine
mammal with
flippers that propel
quickly through
the water.

72. Animals that does not have
backbone.
Nine groups: protozoans,
poriferans, coelenterates,
platyhelminths, nematodes,
annelids, echinoderms,
mollusks, and arthropods.

73. are simple,
microscopic, and single-
celled animals.
Certain protozoans live
in stagnant freshwater
ponds, soil, and
decaying matter.

74. is a protozoan with a
clear shapeless cell. It
can move slowly along
a surface by using its
pseudopodia or false
feet.

76. is a slipper shaped
protozoan that
moves by means of
cilia or short
hairlike projections.

78. is a cylindrical-
shaped protozoa
that has a flagellum
or a whip like
extension used for
movement.

80. a pore bearing animals.
The bodies of poriferans
are thick walled bags with
pores that serves as the
entrance of water that
carries the food materials.

81. are simple
organism made up
of many cells. They
are fixed in one
place.

83. Or cnidarians are
radially symmetrical
animals with
tentacles around
their mouth.

84. are marine coelenterates
with bodies that are hollow
umbrella-shaped bags.
Their tentacles can sting
other animals and inject a
poisonous substance.

86. it has a slender
cylindrical body
with threadlike
tentacles around the
mouth that are used
to catch its prey.

88.  coral” is actually
made up of thousands
of tiny animals called
polyps.

90. Invertebrates that have
long, flat, and ribbon like
bodies.
They are parasitic. They
live in the intestines and
feed on the digested food of
their host.

91. is a worm that
invades the liver,
bile duct,
gallbladder,
intestine, or lung in
certain animals.

93. Is a symmetrical
and long ribbonlike
flatworm that
infests the intestines
of humans and
other vertebrates.

95. Is the simplest
flatworm that can
be found in fresh
water and
saltwater.

97. are round worm.
Considered as
parasites.

98. is a round worm,
elongated and
cylindrical intestinal
worm that infects
human.

100. is a small threadlike
roundworms that are
carried as larvae by
mosquitoes and other
biting insects.
Elephantiasis-tissue
swelling.

103. are grayish white
or pinkish round
worms with slightly
bent and hook-
shaped heads.

105. also known as ring
worm or segmented
worm live in
freshwater, marine
and moist terrestrial
habitats.

106. are parasitic
segmented
worms known as
blood suckers.

109. is found in soil.
They are
commonly called
as night crawlers.

111. are marine invertebrates
with spines. They use their
spine from predators.
Podia is a tube feet with
suckers that are used to
move along a substrate.

112. they have several
arms that radiate
from a central body.
Their pincer like
structures are use
for protection.

114. are globe-
shaped.
Movable long
spines which are
poisonous.

116. it grows under
water. They feed
on algae and tiny
aquatic animals.

118. have a mouth
located at the
center and have
five or more
feathery arms.

120. are animals with soft
fleshy bodies that are
usually covered by shell.
Divided into three
groups: univalves,
bivalves and head-footed
mollusks.

121. Covered with
one piece of
shell.

122. are mollusks that
have small internal
shell and soft and
slimy body.

124. have flattened
muscular foot with
a head that bears
stalked eyespots.

126. those covered
with two pieces
of shells.

127. have a long
tubular siphon
that is used to suck
food, breathe and
eliminated wastes.

129. they attached
themselves to rocks
or other hard
surfaces through a
fine thread called
byssus.

131. usually oval or
pear-shaped and
whitish gray. Pond
in shallow waters
forming large
colonies.

133. not covered by
shell .

136. are group of
animals
characterized by
segmented chitinous
exoskeleton and
jointed appendages.

137. are arthropods
that have three pairs
of legs, or one or
two pair(s) of wings
and a pair of
antennae.

139. are arthropods that live
mostly in the oceans.
They possess five pairs of
legs, a pair of pincers and
an external shell that
protects their body.

143. are arthropods that
have four pairs of legs.
Their head and thorax are
single prosoma or
anterior part of the body.

148. are arthropods
with many legs.
