What are the qualities that make an animal animal
- mobile
- heterotrophics
- reproduce (usually sexually)
- multicellular
- abscence of cell wall
single-celled eukaryotes
protozoans
animal cell that have other cell covering other than the cell membrane
egg cell
animals that have no vertabral column (backbone)
invertebrates
percentage of invertebrates
97% our of 7.8 million animal species
what is the vertebral column for
structural support
structural support of invertebrates
- exoskeleton
- hydrostatic skeleton
How many phyla are there
36
group of individuals able to form a viable offspring
species
groups of multicellular animals
Metazoa
- cells are arranged in tissues
- true tissues
eumetazoa
Two group divisions under eumetazoa
- radiata
- bilateria
animals that can be divided into several identical halves when cut along the central axis
radiata
animals that can be divided into two identical halves along a single axis
bilateria
Two divisions under bilateria
- Deuterostomia
- Protostomia
first opening in the embryo becomes the mouth
protostomes
first opening in the embryo becomes the anus, and the mouth develops later
deuterostomes
What are the basis of groupings of the Kingdom Animalia?
- levels of organization
- symmetry
- coelom
- segmentation
- body plan
levels of organization
- metazoa
- eumetazoa
What is the difference between phylum Porifera and other phyla?
- conglomerate of cells
- no true tissues
- loose aggregation of different cells
Symmetry
- Radial
- Bilateral
- Asymmetrical
central axis
radial
left side and right side are mirror images of each other
bilateral
having parts that fail to correspond to one another in terms of shape and size
asymmetrical
