Sponge Domain Kingdom Phylum Class

Class was the most general rank proposed by linnaeus.

Sponge domain kingdom phylum class. Chiefly on the basis of skeleton phylum porifera sponge is divided into three classes. It is more specific than kingdom but less specific than class. Spongilla lacustris spongillida demosponges class demospongiae are the most diverse class in the phylum porifera.

They are usually classified along with other sponges in the phylum porifera but some researchers consider them sufficiently distinct to deserve their own phylum symplasma. Porifera contain three main lower classes hexactinellida glass sponges calcarea calcareous sponges having spicules demospongiae demosponges and scleropongiae coralline or tropical reef sponges. They are sponges with a soft body that covers a hard often massive skeleton made of calcium carbonate either aragonite or.

Glass sponges belong to the animalia kingdom the porifera phylum and the hexactinellida class. Hexactinellid sponges are sponges with a skeleton made of four and or six pointed siliceous spicules often referred to as glass sponges. Leucosolenia sycon scypha grantia.

Phyla is the next rank after kingdom. Elimination in these aquatic animals proceeds by diffusion of gaseous wastes into the surrounding water. Calcarea or calcispongiae calcareous sponges 2.

Sea sponges also belong to the oopsascas minuta species. The three classes are. The domain is eukarya.

Hexactinellida or triaxonida or hyalospongiae glass sponge 3. A phylum is a taxonomic rank below kingdom and above class five ranks above species. Porifera are a part of the kingdom anamalia which contains roughly 35 phyla and the domain eukarya.
