Trunk -multicellular (metazons) eukaryotic -Ingestive heterotrophs Characteristics Of Animalia -Symmetry -Digestive patterns -Cells specialized for specific function -Organized cells, tissue, organ, etc. -Reproduce sexually Reproduction -reproduce sexually & asexually -Differentiated haploid cells (egg/sperm) -most diploid; two identical copies of genetic material -embryonic stages -Vertebrates (sexually) Invertebrates (asexually) Examples of asexual reproduction Budding- offspring grows out of body of parent. I.e. Hydra (lives in water) Gemmule Formation- Parent animal proceeds to release mass of special cells that have an opportunity to develop into offspring. I.e. Sponges Circulation -Open circulatory system i.e mollusks & anthropoids -Closed circulatory system i.e annelids & vertebrates -No circulatory system includes, cnidarians &flatworms Impact -Hetertrophs; get energy by eating other organisms -Produce Carbon Dioxide gas -Most animals mobile -Maintain environmental balance -Provide economic balance Gas Exchange -Diffusion; absorbing oxygen through the skin. I.e worms -Gill Filaments and Gills for aquatic animals i.e. fish -Most land animals obtain either lungs or a trachea system. Digestion -Incomplete: Only one opening for food as well as waste -Complete: Two bodily openings, one for waste, one for consumption Chordata Arthropoda Annelida Mollusca Nematoda Platyhelminthes Coelenterata Porifera -less than three percent of animals belong to this phylum -Defining feature of chordates is a rodlike structure called a notocord (evolutionary forerunner of the spine) -earliest recorded chordates, more than 550million years ago -Generally fast moving animals; obtaining rapid reactions, well developed nervous systems and sizable brains -Birds/mammals will use energy from food to maintain constant optimum temp. Animals in this phylum include: fish, reptiles, birds, mammals (animals with internal skeleton) Vertebrates -More known species than all of the other phylums combined -Varying ranges of lifestyle, including; grazing, predation, filtering food particles as well as water, drinking fluids such as nectar or blood -Anthropods coated with an exoskeleton called chitin -As growth takes place they must molt their exoskeleton (replacement slightly larger) -Exoskeleton helps protect as well as reduce water loss in dry habitats -Body segmentation noticed in all anthropods -Aquatic anthropods breathe using gills. Land anthropods use trachea -This phylum contains approximately 1,230,000 species -Known as segmented worms which include earthworms, ragworms and leeches -Many annelids highly mobile on both land and water -About 15,000 different species -About 110,000 species of mollusca -Shell not only used for protection but helps prevent mollusca's from drying out -Shoft body carried on large muscular foot -Head senses using eyes as well as tenticles -Internal organs (viscera) contained in visceral hump, covered by fleshy mantle -Most species; mantle secretes substance to form shell -Most feed with a tounge known as a radula -Radula covered in teeth which is coated in chitin, this then moves forward and backward in order to break up food into more reasonable pieces -Many use gills for respiratory purposes (snails and slugs use lungs) -Live in soil, fresh water as well as marine habitats -Quite a lot are parasites -Can produce hundreds of thousands of eggs per day -Are able to enclose themselves in a cyst; becoming dormant if need be -Muscle-lined body cavity as well as two openings to their gut (Mouth & Anus) -Bodies covered in tough layer known as a cuticle -Like Anthropods; they moult as they grow -About 20,000 -Found in various forms in the ocean, freshwater ponds, even within the bodies of other animals -Superficially resemble leeches -Do not contain a circulatory system or organs for breathing -Use entire body surface to absorb oxygen from moisture outside -Around 20,000 species -Smallest of flatworms have no gut and absorb food through skin -Other species have a gut with one opening but branches frequently, this is so digested food is able to reach all tissues -Mostly marine animals -Adult sponges live permanently attached to rocks, corals, and shipwrecks -A few species of sponges live in freshwater -Vary in both size and shape, from thin sheets to large barrels, although all have same basic structure -Contain different types of specialized cells, but no organs -Systems of water canals branch through the sponge, water is drawn into them through tiny pores in sponge's surface -Special chambers (cells) lining the water canals trap and engulf bacteria from plankton for food, and waste water will exit through large openings called osculae -Many sponges classically spongy however others can be hard as rock, soft, and even slimy -Supporting skeleton consists of tiny spicules of silicon dioxide or calcium carbonate -Spicules vary in shape and number between species, can be used in identification -Marine segmented worms carry bundles of bristles along their body, typically borne on little paddels that aide with swimming, burrowing, even walking.
