• lives in salt water attached to
the bottom
• Hollow central cavity

tiny pores
27. Echinoderms (invertebrate)
• Spiny skinned animals
• star fish (sea stars), sand
dollars, sea cucumbers
• flexible arms; tube feet
• known for regeneration (ability
to grow new body parts)

within despite changes in the
environment

fluids; no appendages (fins)
• flexible skeleton made of
cartilage
• ectotherms
35. Cartilaginous Fishes

• Flounder, eels, trout, and others
• SKELETON MADE OF BONE
• gills
• streamlined bodies (narrow
shape)
• most numerous group of fish

fishes mainly different from the
bony fishes?

that the jawless fishes do not
have?
38. Amphibians
• Frogs, toads, salamanders
• part of their life is spent on
land and part of life is spent in
the water; (ectotherms)
• smooth, moist skin
• gills when they are young and
have lungs as adults
39. Reptiles
• Adapted to live on land
(terrestrial)
