    The document summarizes several invertebrate phyla including sponges, cnidarians, crustaceans, arachnids, insects, flatworms, roundworms, mollusks, annelids, and echinoderms. It notes key distinguishing characteristics like their body structure, type of reproduction, presence of exoskeletons or shells, locomotion methods, and whether they are carnivorous or parasitic. The phyla range from simple multicellular organisms like sponges to more complex invertebrates including insects, mollusks, and echinoderms.

    Original Description:

    SPONGES: Multi-cellular, Heterotrophic, no cell walls, metamorphosis, internal fertilization.

    CNIDARIANS: Jellyfish, coral, and sea anemones. Soft bodied, carnivorous, stinging tentacles, simple bodies, two stage lifecycle: polyp and medusa, external fertilization.

    CRUSTACEANS: Lobsters, crabs, shrimp. Many live in water and have gills, have antenna and two to three body sections and mandibles. ARACHNIDS: Spiders, ticks, scorpions. Have two body parts, fangs-like mouths with two parts, eight legs. Some spin webs. INSECTS: Bees, ants, flies, centipedes. Have three body parts; head, thorax, and abdomen. Six legs.

    Have segmented bodies, touch exoskeleton, jointed appendages. Reproduce sexually.

    INVERTEBRATES
