Arthropoda
4 Basic groups
in the
Arthropods
Eukaryotes
*Myriapods
*Chelicerates
*Hexapods
*Crustaceans
Usually three
body
segments:
Head, Thorax,
Abdomen
Most of these molt if spiders don’t get out
of their molt they run the risk of dying.
Tarantula
Bilateral
Chelicerates
Divided into two main parts;
Abdomen and Cephalothorax
A tarantula bite may cause a
wound but is no threat to a
human's life.
They have four pairs of legs no
antennae, no mandibles.
Monarch Butterfly
Insecta
Lepidoptera
Danaidae
Danaus
Cotinus Texana
Insecta
Caleoptera
They feed on fig fruit
Lobster
Crustacea
Decapotada
Nephropidae
Homarus
Americanus
Lobsters are invertebrates and have a tough
exoskeleton.
Enchinodermata
Eukaryotic cells
Radial symmetry except Sea Cucumbers
Possess no eyes, brain or heart
Have the ability to regenerate missing body parts
Fertilizes externally
Asexual or sexual reproduction
Humans use echninoderms as food or for medicine
Some can be toxic
5-part symmetry
The Common Starfish (Sea
Star)
•Asteria rubens
•Carnivorous
•Eats clams, sponges , bryozoans, and asdicians
•Lives on coral reefs, rocks or sand
•Usually have 5 arms
•Can reproduce asexually or sexually (usually fertilize
externally)
•
Sea Cucumbers
Holothuria pardalis
Bilateral
Does not possess arms but does have a 5-part
symmetry
Eats decaying matter
Reproduce sexually but fertilize externally
Serves as a host for crabs, shrimp or worms (symbiotic
relationships)
Sea Urchins

●
Strongylocentrotus
purpuratus (Purple
Sea Urchin)

Have spines that are 1 cm
coming out of its body

sponges, dead or
decaying matter and
mussels
●
Fertilize externally
