DOMAIN EUKARYA
KINGDOM ANIMALIA
Kingdom Animalia
Multicellular
Heterotrophic
Reproduce sexually, but some animals can reproduce asexually
by budding, fragmentation.
No cell wall
Can move during some stages of their life.
Can response
KINGDOM ANIMALIA
TWO CLASSIFICATION OF ANIMALS
1. Invertebrates – Animals without backbone
2. Vertebrates – Animals with backbone
INVERTEBRATES
PHYLUM PORIFERA – Sponges
Simplest multicellular organisms
Lack of true tissues and organs but the individual cells can sense
and react to changes in the environment.
Ex. Sponges, Venus flower basket
INVERTEBRATES
PHYLUM CNIDARIA – Corals, Jellyfish, Sea
Anemone
Aquatic, live in the sea,
All have tentacles, that contain CNIDOCYTES – are cells with
poisonous substance
Can reproduce asexually through budding
INVERTEBRATES
PHYLUM PLATHELMINTHES – Flat worm
(Tapeworm, Planaria, Blood Fluke)
Can reproduce both asexually and sexually
Hermaphroditic, Parasitic
INVERTEBRATES
PHYLUM NEMATODA – Round worms
(Ascaris, Pinworm, hookworm)
Harmless
Decompose the organic matter, parasitic
INVERTEBRATES
PHYLUM ANNELIDA – Segmented worm
(Earthworm, millipede, centipede)
INVERTEBRATES
PHYLUM ARTHROPODA –
Comprises the largest group of an organisms
Possess an external skeleton – carapace
CLASS INSECTA – three pairs of legs
and two pairs of wings, two antennae
Ex. Butterflies, bees, ants praying mantis
INVERTEBRATES
CLASS ARACHNIDS – Eight legs, ex. Spiders,
scorpion
INVERTEBRATES
CLASS CRUSTACEA – Two pairs of sensory antennae
ex, Shrimp, crabs, crayfish
INVERTEBRATES
PHYLUM MOLLUSCA – characterized by having a
tissue called mantle
CLASS GASTROPODA – Stomach foot, produce a
shell some lack of shells
. Ex, snail, sea shell, slug
INVERTEBRATES
CLASS BIVALIA – posses two shells
Ex, oyster, mussels
CLASS CEPHALOPODA – predatory
carnivores
Ex. Octopus, squid,
INVERTEBRATEs
PHYLUM ECHINODERMATA
Characterized by bumps or spines on their skin
Ex. Sea stars, brittle stars, sea urchin,
sand dollar, sea lily and sea cucumber
IMPORTANCE OF INVERTEBRATES
Sources of human food – lobsters, oysters, crabs etc.
Decomposer of organic materials
Efficient pollinators
Source of jewelry
VERTEBRATES
PHYLUM CHORDATA – Possess the following
characteristics during their embryonic stages of
development
Notochord, an internal skeletal rod provides support during some
stages of animals development.
Hollow, dorsal nerve cord.
Pharyngeal slits – modified as gills
VERTEBRATES
CLASS AGNATHA – fishes without jaws, like
lampreys
VERTEBRATES
CLASS CHONDRICHTHYES – fishes with
cartilage skeleton, not bone
Example Sharks, stingrays.
VERTEBRATES
CLASSOSTEICHTHYES – Bony fishes, most
numerous of all vertebrates.
VERTEBRATES
CLASS AMPHEBIAN –, Live both in land and water,
Skin is covered by mucous and must remain moist.
Females lay eggs in water where external fertilization takes
place.
Have 3 chambered heart
VERTEBRATES
CLASS REPTELIA – Have scales, dry to touch,
eggs have leathery shells, exothermic or cold
blooded,
Ex, snakes, turtles, crocodiles, and lizard
VERTEBRATES
CLASS AVES – Have feathers and lay eggs
with shell, bones are lightweight for flight,
endothermic or warm-blooded.
VERTEBRATES
CLASS MAMMALIA –
With fur, or hair,
have mammary glands
Produce milk
Endothermic or warm-blooded
Give birth to their young
CLASS MAMMALIA
MONOTREMES – lay eggs like reptiles, but have
milk and fur,
but no nipples.
Their mammary glands just secrete milk onto the fur,
which the babies lick.
Platypus, spiny anteater
CLASS MAMMALIA
MARSUPIALS – The young are born as very immature
embryos and most crawl to their mother’s pouch to
continue their development.
Ex. Kangaroos, opossums, and koalas
CLASS MAMMALIA
PLACENTAL MAMMALS – Complete
embryonic development takes place within the
mothers’ uterus and young nourished across placenta
