c. Abstraction
Living things can be sorted into groups in many ways. Animals
consist of two major groups: vertebrates and invertebrates.

 Invertebrates are animals that do not have backbone. They have

soft inner bodies which are held in a shape by a flexible covering
of outer cells or by a hard covering called exoskeleton.
Sponges are animals of the phylum. Porifera meaning "pore
bearer". They are multicellular organisms that have bodies full of
pores and channels allowing water to circulate through them.
Cnidarians are radially symmetrical, jelly-like and have a nerve
net and one body opening.
d. Application:
Why is it important to keep coral reefs alive?
