Taxonomy and Kingdom Animalia

This article introduces the taxonomy and classification of animals based on characteristics and adaptations for survival. Learn about the six kingdoms, symmetry types, and key terminology such as Phylum Porifera, Cnidaria, Ctenophora, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Rotifera, and Annelida, with details on their species, habitat, and traits.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Taxonomy and Kingdom Animalia Part 1

  2. Classification Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus species

  3. The 6 Kingdoms

  4. Symmetry • Radial- 2 axis • Bilateral- 1 axis • Spherical- 3 axis • Pentaradial- fives • Asymmetrical- none

  5. Adaptation-survival traits that are genetic Nocturnal Diurnal Sessile Parasite Mutualist Commensalist Terrestrial Arboreal Aerial fossorial Aquatic Marine Freshwater Brakish Needed terminology

  6. Phylum Porifera • Sponges (10,000 spp) • All sessile, filter feeders • Mostly marine • Asymmetrical • Hermaphroditic or asexual • Specialized cells called choanoflagellates • No tissue layers

  7. Choanoflagellates Specialized cells working together

  8. Spicule skeleton made of SiO2 • As big as a meter • Gemmules for asexual reproduction

  9. Sponges for sale

  10. Phylum Cnidaria

  11. All have nematocysts Mostly marine, some sessile, some drifters Radial symmetry True tissue: dermis with mesoglea Have a central digestive compartment gastrovascular cavity (process food and gases) Simple nerve net All Carnivorous Phylum Cnidaria (coelenterata)

  12. Stinging cells-nematocysts

  13. 2 basic forms MEDUSA-umbrella shaped drifters POLYP-cylindrical mostly sessile

  14. 3 classes • Hyrdrozoa-hydras and fire coral • Both polyp and medusa, asexual budding and sexual reproduction • Anthozoa-anemones, coral • All polyp, solitary or colonial, sexual reproduction, symbiotic protists and algae • Scyphozoa-jellyfish • All medusa

  15. Phylum Ctenophora- “comb jelly” • Close relatives of cnidaria • Nematocysts present in retractable tentacles • Radial symmetry • Largest organism to use cilia for locomotion • Sexual reproduction • Bioluminescent

  16. Phylum Platyhelminthes-flatworms • Free-living (planarians) or parasitic (flukes, tapeworms) • Acoelomates (no true body cavity) • Aquatic or terrestrial • Bilateral symmetry • Nervous system with bundles (ganglia) • Eye spots • Small but as long as 35 ft

  17. 3 classes • Turbellaria-planarians • Free-living, carnivorous or scavengers, hermaphroditic, regeneration capabilities • Trematoda-flukes • All parasitic, attach with hooks/suckers, have microvilli on surface for absorbing food through skin • Cestoda-tapeworms • All parasitic, also have microvilli for direct absorption

  18. Phylum Nematoda-roundworms • Hookworms, lungworms, pinworms, trichina (in pork), schistosome, heartworms • Free-living or parasitic • Separate sexes (females can lay 200,000 egg/day) • One way digestive tract • Some have teeth/hooks • Muscles are longitudinal moving/bending/flipping

  19. Phylum Rotifera- “wheeled” • Microscopic • Common in freshwater • One way digestion • Bilateral symmetry • Knots of nerves form primitive brain • Only females lay eggs (parthenogenesis)

  20. Phylum Annelida- segmented worms • Annulus=ring • Aquatic and terrestrial • Scavengers, some active predators (leeches) • Complex muscle system-longitudinal and radial muscle contraction • One way digestion • Have circulatory system, primitive heart • Complex nervous system-brain/often eyes • Sexual-hermaphroditic • Some regeneration

  21. 3 classes • Polychaeta • Paddle-footed and has bristles called SETAE, marine (hairy sea mouse) • Oligochaeta • Terrestrial and freshwater, few bristles (earthworms) • Hirudnea • Blood suckers (leeches) • Free-living or predators
