Animals are part of ?
Eukarya domain.
Humans are ?
- animals
- we have eukarya cells
What is an animal ?
Three key characteristics.
1-animals eat other organism.
2- animals move - at least at some stage on their life cycle (sponge)
3- animals are multi-cellular
- not all animals have heads or eyes.
Higher or lower species
- no such thing
- two possible states for a species
- extant= currently exist
- extinct = no longer exist
All organism to exist do the following.
- find food
- escape predators
- reproduce
Four key distinctions decide the animals.
1- Sponges have no tissue
2- Radial symmetry
3- Gut development
4-How does growth occur
Radial symmetry
- body structure like a pie.
- jelly fish.
- sea anemone
- slow or free floating
Bilateral symmetry
- a body with a left and right side
- better at searching for food
- faster moving
- humans , cows , frogs
Protostomes
Mouth first
Deuterostones
Anus first (humans)
How does growth occur?
- Some animals molt
- Arthropods
Iverterbrates
- animals without a back bone
- most diverse group
- sponges
- arthropods
- cnidarians
Sponges
- Have no tissue
- simplest of all animals
Sessile
- attached to a surface
- doesn’t move
Cnidarians
- poisonous animals
- coral
- sea anemones
- jelly fish
- paralyze pray
- radially symmetrical
Forms of cnidarians
- two forms
- sessile polyp (tree like)
- free floating medusa( jelly fish)
- cnidarians (carnivores)
- reproduce both ways sexually asexually
Coral reefs
- living algae
- algae do photosynthesis
- algae dislikes hot water.
Flatworms
- parasites
- brilliantly colored
- taper worms
- free living aquatic creatures
Fiction of a flatworm
- eat and poop through same hole
- no digestive system ( tape worms)
Round worm
- grow by molting
- parasites of vertebrate animals
Annelids
- have visible segments
- earth worms
- leeches
Mollusks
- most have a shell
- slugs or octopus do not have shell
Major groups mollusks
- Gastropods
- bivalves
- cephalopods
Gastropods
- snails
- slugs
- 75% of mollusks
