The term invertebrates describes all animals, so is not helpful in classifying organisms within the animal kingdom. B. The term invertebrates classifies animals haphazardly based on a missing characteristic rather than a common one. C. The term invertebrates is too vague, since all animals evolved from single-celled organisms without a backbone. D. The term invertebrates is unhelpful because all animals possess some sort of backbone or notochord.

Match the organism group to the best description. This phylum contains structures such as mantle, foot, radula, and visceral mass. Insects such as Diptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, and Hemiptera are members. Choose from the following options: Mollusca, Chordata, Platyhelminthes, Arthropod, Porifera (sponges), Rotifer, Nematode, Cnidaria, Bacteria. Have special cells called Choanocytes. Animals can reform after being blended. Diploblastic with radial symmetry and stinging cells. An unsegmented worm that is triploblastic with pseudocoelom. Platarians are members of this group of worms that are acoelomates.
