asterios forbesii
Well yes but it has more than that
Starfish belong to the class Asteroidea within the phylum Echinodermata. They are characterized by their radial symmetry and typically have five arms, though some species can have more.
Remember that taxonomic classification has eight main levels:
Domain
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Species
All starfish belong to the domain Eukarya, the kingdom Animalia, the phylum Echionodermata, and the class Asteroidea. After this they diverge into different orders, families, and species. There are around 2000 species of starfish overall, each with a different two-part scientific name.
There are several species within the genus Culcita.
The Schmedelian Pincushion is Culcita schmideliana.
The Cushion Star is Culcita novaeguineae.
It is a story of a old man on the beach who sees a young boy walking along throwing starfish back in the ocean. The man tells the boy there are miles of stranded starfish, he won't make a difference. The boy throws another one back in the ocean and tells the old man that it made a difference to that one. It symbolizes doing what you can with the problem in front of you. Look at Mother Teresa, she went out into the city of Calcutta all alone one day in the late 1950's and helped one poor old dying man. Years later, she had started an entire religious order that has helped thousands. Do we still have old, dying poor people? Yep. Did Mother Teresa make a difference? She sure did to thousands of people over the course of her life. Start with the people right in front of you: your family, your neighbors, your co-workers. Treat them as you would treat Our Blessed Lord because each on of them, as Mother used to say, is Jesus in disguise. And you will make a huge difference, even if it is only one person. You have to start somewhere.
Ok, the basic problem you have is that you get confused between what a foot is and what a suction cup is.
Lets take the 5 pointed starfish, each 5 points is a foot. on one foot there is lots of suction cups.
but the answer to the question is, yes but they have more than one they have 1 million+ between 5 feet in a 5 pointed starfishes case
Sea stars can regenerate (can grow any part as long as the central disk is still partially in tact), has skin containing calcium carbonate for protection, can see light and dark (thanks to eyespots on each arm), to eat it puts its stomach into a mussel or clam shell to digest then slurp up, tube feet with strong suction to help eat clams and mussels, and pedicellaria (microscopic pinchers on skin) to keep clean, water vascular system (aids gas exchange, digestion, movement, and movement of flud throughout the body).
A starfish as an average of 36 chromosomes.
You can't exactly catch a star. It is a ball of super hot gas, swelled to an extremely big size. You can't exactly catch a star. It is a ball of super hot gas, swelled to an extremely big size. Carefully and then put it in your pocket, never let it go.
kingdom animalia --- phylum echinodermata--- class Ophiuroidea
A starfish can only live on the and for a very short time before they die. Starfish depend on saltwater to keep them alive and dry out and die when out of the water.
well starfish can sleep up to 12 hours like humans,but they dont have to sleep...
