2. Sponges  Feed by drawing water into spores  No body symmetry, no tissues or organ system

12. Arthropod: Insects  Largest group of arthropods (over 800,000).  Are very adaptable, living almost everywhere in the world.  Have an exoskeleton that covers their entire body.  An insect's body consists of the head, thorax and abdomen.

14. Echinoderm: Starfish  Marine animals that live in the ocean.  Have arms or spines that radiate from the center of their body.  Central body contains their organs, and their mouth for feeding.  Sea stars, commonly known as the starfish, have 5 or more arms attached to their body.  Sea urchins have many spines connected to their body. These spines help to protect them from predators.
