Kingdom Animalia by: Savanna Kraft

Phylum Cnidaria

• means "nettle"

• Examples are sea Anemones and Jellyfishes

• A unique feature about this phylum is these organisms are all linked together by their carnivorous feeding habits

Kingdom Animalia Characteristics

Class Mammalia

• The type of symmetry these organisms have is a radial or biradial symmetry

• means "breast"

• examples are a deer and rabbit

• They are eukaryotic

• has several functions for their hair

• bilateral symmetry

• they obtain their food by having a single opening and getting rid of waste the same way

• contains a internal cavity and a mouth in their body

• hair insulates against cold

Invertebrates

• organisms in kingdom animalia are multicellular

• obtains food with mouth and gets rid of waste with its anus

• have no appendages

• one gut opening

• has 2 gut openings

• externally fertilize

• has 5 appendages

• They are heterotrophic

• reproduces sexually

• one adaptation is their ability to float, sting and capture their prey using nematocysts

• fertilize internally

• move by sucking in water into their mouth and spitting it in a powerful burst

Organisms with an exoskeleton that has a tough outer covering

• organisms have the ability to move (at some point in life)

• has a well developed nervous system

• can live in any habitat

• lives in shallow coastal waters and some live in freshwater

• has a well developed brain, nerve cords, nervous system and is good at sensing

• organisms in this kingdom have an outer cell membrane for cell support

• lives in aquatic and terrestrial areas

• reproduce sexually and asexually

• simple nervous system called nerve net

• most organisms in this kingdom reproduce sexually but some do reproduce asexually

Class Aves

• means "bird"

• examples are parrots and canaries

moves with muscles in their body

Phylum Echinodermata

• nothing is known to the ancient history of this phylum

• These organisms have a radial type of symmetry that can be either symmetrical or asymmetrical

has nerve systems to detect light and to react to stimuli

• means "spiny skin"

• lives in terrestrial habitats

• examples are starfish and Allies

• bilaterally symmetrical

• They get food by pumping water in and out of their body to get nutrients, this is also how they also get rid of the waste in their body as well

• has poorly defined open circulatory system

• structure is flat and "ribbon-like"

Phylum Porifera

• has no excretory organs

• an example is a Tape Worm and Liver Fluke

• sponges in this phylum can either reproduce sexually or asexually in order for them to survive in their habitats

• sponges have both internal and external buds

• obtains food with mouth and gets rid of food with the same opening

• sponges have no sensory response, nerve cords,brain and they have no nervous system

• You can find sponges in their habitat in coral reefs,in freshwater regions and even in the deepest and most darkest parts of the sea

• has no appendages

• obtains food with its mouth and gets rid of waste with their tube feet

• Organisms in this phylum have a survival adaptation of using their flagella to set up water currents that carries food and they use their filter as another adaptation to gather those nutrients, sponges also have very dense structures to control high volumes of water they diffuse each day

• one gut opening

• only has one gut opening

live almost everywhere on land, water and in organisms

• Organisms in Phylum Porifera have no appendages at all

• moves with their tube feet and can move their entire body

• light sensing organs and nervous tissues

• has at least five appendages

• reproduce both sexually and asexually

• mostly reproduce sexually but some reproduce asexually

• internal fertilization

• fertilize externally

• has a circum-oesphageal ring for the nervous system

• lives in all marine habitats

Phylum Annelida

• Has a transparent, curled body

• Bilateral symmetry

• obtains food with mouth and gets rid of waste through anus

• has 2 gut openings

• Bilateral symmetrical body

• means "a little ring"

• depends on lungs for gas exchange

• can live in any habitat

• moves with their legs

• body covered in complex cuticle

• examples are leeches and earthworms

• respiratory adaptations with jointed appendages too
