Neochordodes 🔎

A type of chordate, closely related to chondrichaids, but without a backbone.

Freyarchaeota 🔎

The term "Freyarchaeota" is a genus in the class Eukaryota, which includes bacteria and archaea. It is characterized by its ability to form complex, hierarchical structures with a backbone of DNA, as well as its ability to grow on a variety of substrates including organic matter. The species within this group are known for their unique metabolic activities, such as the fermentation process, which allows them to convert carbohydrates into energy or other compounds.

Rheiformes are a group of animals that have a backbone, which is not like fish's backbone. They also have a long neck and forelimbs with short arms. This group includes birds, reptiles, and mammals.

Backbone 🔎

The backbone is a part of the body that supports and protects the spinal cord, which consists of 5 main segments called vertebrae. These segments are arranged in a continuous network called the vertebral column, supporting the weight of the spine and the movement of the brain and other organs within it.

Lejops 🔎

The term "Lejops" is a scientific term in the field of anatomy, specifically pertaining to the skeletal structure of mammals and birds. It describes the bones that make up the backbone, including vertebrae, ribs, scapula, clavicles, sternum, ribs, and spine, which are involved in the movement of the body.

Invertebrate 🔎

Invertebrates are animals that do not have a backbone or exoskeleton, but they have soft bodies covered in hard outer layers. Examples include spiders, scorpions, ants, and some mollusks. They are also known for their ability to change color through chemical changes and can be found in various environments such as forests, gardens, and oceans.

Invertebrates, such as crustaceans, have no true backbone but can be considered "lamberti" since they lack a cartilage-like structure that would provide support for their internal organs.

Plain-backed 🔎

Plain-backed organisms are those that lack a backbone, which is the muscular structure that supports the body's internal organs and structures. These organisms are typically found in environments with low or no water, as they rely on their skin for protection from external elements and to regulate body temperature. In terms of biology, plain-backed organisms are classified under the kingdom Animalia, specifically class Cetacea (fish).

Threadfins 🔎

Threadfins are small, flexible, and durable pieces that form the backbone of a fish's body, supporting its swimblades and enabling it to move through water at high speeds.

Phymosomatoida 🔎

Phymosomatoids are a group of animals that have a segmented body, a strong backbone, and a long neck or thorax. They often have large eyes (called pharyngeal plates) for vision, and they can move their bodies with great agility and strength. These animals are characterized by their long, flexible tail, which is used to carry heavy objects like fish or other aquatic organisms.

Gamophyta 🔎

Gamophyta is a group of plants that belong to the phylum Gymnoida, which includes about 200 species and forms the backbone of the gymnosperms group in the forest kingdom. They are known for their large leaves and their ability to produce spores. Gamophyta play a crucial role in the ecosystem by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and releasing oxygen through photosynthesis.

Leptomitales 🔎

The term "Leptomitales" is a biological classification system that describes various phyla within the class Mammalia, which are characterized by having a single ossified pelvis and an absence of a backbone. These animals include whales, dolphins, porpoises, penguins, and seals.

Spongiodermidae 🔎

Spongiodermidae is a group of chordates (vertebrates with a backbone) that includes chordates and echinoderms, which are animals without a backbone. These organisms have a similar arrangement of internal organs and structures in their bodies, including a central nervous system and a circulatory system. Spongiodermidae also share some similarities with the echinoderm family, which is another group of marine animals that includes jellyfishes, sponges, crabs

Megarthroides 🔎

Megarthroides is a type of organism found in the Troglo Planet, a fictional world where humans and other intelligent beings coexist with a diverse range of lifeforms. The term describes an organism that has evolved to possess a large number of limbs but lacks a backbone or spine, leading to their ability to walk on two legs.

Asthenognathus 🔎

An asthenognathus is a type of animal that lacks a backbone, making it an evolutionary exception in terms of its adaptations for life on land.

Pectodictyon 🔎

Pectodictyon is a term used in biologically significant organisms, specifically in the "pecto" or "peptidic" group of proteins found in bacteria and archaea. These proteins are composed of a pentapeptide (five amino acids) called pectin, which forms the backbone of the cell wall in these organisms.

Cyclocoeloidea 🔎

Cyclocoeloidea is a kingdom in the phylum Chordata, which includes animals that have a backbone and are characterized by their long, flexible limbs with thick appendages, such as horns or spines, used for grasping, walking, and other activities.

Amblyopsidae 🔎

Amblyopids are a group of aquatic insects that primarily live in freshwater bodies, including lakes, rivers, and streams. They have two arms, each with a single pair of legs, but they do not have a backbone to support their weight. Their body is usually elongated and covered in scales or other structures.

Heteropodinae 🔎

Heteropodinae is a family of extinct, highly specialized tetrapods that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 65-70 million years ago. They were primarily herbivorous and had a flattened body shape with short limbs adapted for walking on land, but lacked a backbone. Their bones were highly compressed and their skeletal remains were characterized by the presence of large, flexible appendages, including claws, tusks, and teeth.

Reptile 🔎

A reptile is a vertebrate animal that is characterized by having a backbone, a flexible spine, and a four-chambered heart. They are generally smaller in size than mammals but larger in stature. Examples of reptiles include snakes, lizards, and turtles.

Corallistidae 🔎

The term "Corallistidae" refers to a group of marine invertebrates, which includes corals and other types of sea anemones. These animals are characterized by their unique structure, known as the stipe, which is composed of many interconnected structures that function like a bone or cartilaginous backbone. The stipe serves as a platform for supporting the coralline skeleton, which includes the exoskeleton, mantle, and soft tissues.

Eubacteriaceae 🔎

Eubacteria, a group of bacteria, belong to the kingdom Archaea and are characterized by their ability to form complex structures called polysaccharides. These polysaccharide-like structures are composed of glucose molecules bound together through a sugar backbone, allowing them to be used as building blocks for various cellular processes.

Bathysauridae 🔎

Bathysaurids are a family of marine reptiles that belong to the order Reptilia, commonly known as "reptile" families. They have a distinctive characteristic of having a streamlined body shape and no limbs, which allows them to swim without their feet, but they also lack any backbone or vertebral column. Bathysaurids are often characterized by their long, slender bodies, short legs, and a large head that is adapted for swimming.

Holarchaea 🔎

Holarchaea is a group of multicellular organisms, characterized by their ability to form a hierarchical structure through a complex network of nodes and links. This network includes horizontal and vertical branches, which are connected by the network's backbone. The main characteristic of these organisms is their ability to grow and reproduce in hierarchical groups, resembling a tree or a network of interconnected structures.

Poikilolaimus 🔎
