One of the challenges faced by animals when moving from an aquatic environment to a terrestrial environment is resisting the force of gravity that is constantly pulling down on an organism. Provide three different structural adaptations used by three different animal phyla (plural for phylum), which aid in resisting the pull of gravity on land, allowing the organism to maintain its body shape/structure. As part of your answer, make sure to include 1. The name of the organism (common name or genus) 2. The phylum the animal belongs to 3. The specific structural adaption and how it works to resist the pull of gravity on land.
