Title: Is it an animal


1
Is it an animal?
  • Number your paper 1-18 leave a space between
    numbers.
  • For each picture, write the name of the organism
    and decide Is it an animal?
  • Give 1 reason why or why not.

Which ones are animals?
  • Everything BUT 6, 9, 18
  • Any ones you want to review?
  • So what is an ANIMAL?

21
Kingdom Animalia
  • What is an animal?
  • Multicellular
  • Heterotrophic
  • Aerobic
  • Reproduce sexually
  • Develop from embryos
  • Motile at some time

22
What determines an animals complexity?
  • Presence of body cavity - Coelom
  • Organ systems
  • Symmetry
  • Cephalization
  • Embryonic development
  • Specialization of tissues
  • Segmentation

23
Early Development
  • Protostome- blastula developes into the mouth
  • Deuterostome- blastula develops into the anus
  • Chordates and Echinoderms (more advanced
    organisms) are deuterostomes

24
Figure 32.7 A comparison of early development in
protostomes and deuterostomes
25
Specialized Cells and Germ Layers
  • As organisms get more advanced they have more
    cell specialization, tissues, and organs
  • More advanced organisms have three germ layers
  • Ectoderm- Outside Layer
  • Mesoderm- Middle Layer
  • Endoderm- Inner layer

26
Coelom
  • Coelom- Body Cavity where organ development may
    occur
  • 3 Types

27
Body Symmetry
  • Asymmetry- no specific shape
  • Radial Symmetry- Symmetry along and plane around
    an organism
  • Bilateral Symmetry- A single imaginary plane
    could divide the organism in two

Asymmetry (no symmetry)
28
Segmentation
  • Separate segments (parts) to an organism

29
Cephalization
  • Concentration of sense organs and nerve cells in
    the front of the body

30
So what is an Invert? A Vert?
  • Invertebrate lacking vertebrae spinal cord
    with bony covering
  • Vertebrate those in Phylum Chordata with bony
    covering around a spinal cord

31
Invert/Vert OverviewKingdom Animalia
  • Phylum Porifera -sponges
  • Phylum Cnidaria -jellyfish, sea anemones
  • Phylum Platyhelminthes -tapeworms, flukes
  • Phylum Nematoda -pinworms, Ascaris
  • Phylum Mollusca -clams, squid, octopi
  • Phylum Annelida -earthworms, leeches
  • Phylum Arthropoda -insects, crayfish
  • Phylum Echinodermata -starfish, sand dollars
  • Phylum Chordata (VERT) -fish, amphibians,
    reptiles, birds, mammals

Some Weird Animal Facts
  • If you'd put all insects on one side of a balance
    and all the rest on the other side of the
    balance, the insects would outweigh the rest.
  • Scientists found out how bees communicate. Bees,
    however, are not able to learn a foreign
    language. That is, Egyptian bees do not learn how
    to communicate with European bees.
  • Butterflies have 12,000 eyes. They fly with an
    average speed of 32 km/h. Swordfish, meanwhile,
    can reach up to 110 km/h.
  • Some moths use acoustic countermeasures to
    scramble the bat's sonar.
  • Snails can remain dormant for up to three years.
  • The honeysucker (aka the honey-eater, classified
    in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata,
    class Aves, order Passeriformes, family
    Meliphagidaeis) is the only bird that can
    actively fly backwards. They cannot, however,
    walk.
  • Crocodiles kill on average 2,000 people per year.
  • In the last 4,000 years, no new animal has become
    domesticated.
  • Humpback whales keep composing new songs, and
    sing old ones rarely.
  • Giraffes have no voices.
  • Elephants cannot jump.
  • Gorillas can't swim. Cats can, though they do not
    traditionally like water.
