Found in…
Organisms that have an internal
structure of bone
Mostly found in vertebrates
Organisms that are covered in a
tough outer layer and do not have a
backbone
Mostly found in invertebrates
Movement: Some organisms are mobile (can move), while others are
sessile (stationary).
Symmetry:

Explanation
Irregular shape; cannot make a mirror image
Can be divided equally any way through the
middle to make a mirror image
Can only be divided in equally in half through
the middle to make a mirror image
Body cavity:
A body cavity is a specified area for the digestion of food. Has a
anus and a mouth.
Coelomate
Has true body cavity
Pseudocoelomate
Has a “fake” body cavity
Acoelomate
Does not have a body cavity
Asexual reproduction
Hermaphrodites
Internal fertilization
External fertilization
Reproduction of a single
parent: can be budding,
fragmentation, regeneration
and parthogenesis
Produce both sperm and
egg within the same body
Sperm and egg combine
inside the organism’s body
Egg and sperm combine
outside of the body
Segmentation: Repeating of similar parts
