The Kingdom Animalia:Unifying Characteristics and Major Divisions I edited this power point from Eric Kessler
Unifying Characteristics • Multicellular • Can generate movement • Haploid Gametes • Diploid Somatic Cells • Embryonic Development • Mitochondrial Eukaryotes • Heterotrophic • Aerobic Respiring
Haploid Gametes • In animals the adults produce haploid (having half the number of chromosomes) gametes through meiosis
Diploid Somatic Cells • As the zygote develops the resulting body or somatic cells are diploid
The Embryonic Blastula • After fertilization of an egg by sperm, the resulting diploid (having two pairs of chromosomes) zygote rapidly goes through mitosis • All animals become a hollow sphere of cells called a blastula
Gastrulation & The Gut • After the blastula stage, in some animals cells migrate to the interior forming the primitive gut • In Protostomes the initial pore forms the mouth, while in the Deuterostomes this pore forms the anus
Mitochondrial Eukaryotes • Cells contain Mitochondria inside that carry on Cellular Respiration • O2 + Glucose CO2 + H2O + ATP
Heterotrophic and Aerobic Respiring • In order to acquire the Glucose necessary for cellular respiration animals must be consumers and eat organisms already containing glucose • In order to acquire the Oxygen gas necessary for cellular respiration animals must have mechanisms of obtaining oxygen
Types of symmetry Photo. http://images.tutorvista.com/content/animal-kingdom/animal-symmetry-types.jpeg accessed 8/21/2012 11:32 EST.
Radial Symmetry • Body plan in which the body parts are arranged regularly around a central axis (multiple planes cut into mirror halves)
Bilateral Symmetry • Body plan in which body parts are arranged into a left and right around a central plane (one plane cuts into mirror images) • Cephalization results from this plan
Cephalization • This describes the collection of neural cells into one common location to form a brain or ganglion. • Usually in bilateral animals. • Is associated with a mouth since mouths require so much information processing.

Segmentation • Segmented organisms have a repeating series of body units that may or may not be similar to one another
Major Divisions • Symmetry, Movement, & Cephalization • Gastrulation & Gut Formation • Dermal Tissues & Coelome Development • Segmentation
Coelome Development:Acoelomate • The coelome is a fluid filled cavity surrounded by mesodermal tissue • Acoelomate animals lack a fluid filled cavity and are Triploblastic
Pseudocoelomate • Pseudocoelomate animals have a fluid filled cavity but it is not contained within mesoderm tissue. Instead it lies between the mesoderm and endoderm • Pseudocoelomates are Triploblastic (having an Ectoderm, Endoderm, and Mesoderm)
Eucoelomate • Eucoelomate animals have a true fluid filled cavity contained with in the mesoderm • Eucoelomates are also Triploblastic
