  1. Bellwork: Thurs. April, 21, 2016 1. How can you tell that the flower you dissected yesterday was amonocot?___ _______________________________ 2. __________________ are flowering plants. 3. __________________ reproduce with cones. 4. Organisms that are ____________have the ability to make their own food from sunlight (or other chemical pathways.) 5. Organisms that are ___________ must eat other organisms

  2. Kingdom Animalia

  3. Characteristics of Animals Domain Eukarya Kingdom Animalia Multicellular Heterotrophs (consumers –eaters ) Lack cell walls

  4. Have nervous systems - respond to environment - homeostasis • Locomotion = ability to obtain food • Most develop from a zygote • Single layer of cells surround fluid-filled space forming a hollow ball of cells called a gastrula. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXN_sDnd1ng&feature=related

  5. Body Plans: Symmetry • Animals that are irregular in shape are asymmetrical. • Animals that are regular in shape are symmetrical. • Animal has radial symmetry if it can be divided along any plane, through a central axis, into equal halves. • Animal has bilateral symmetry if it can be divided down its length into similar right and left halves forming mirror images of each other.

  6. Which figure has bilateral symmetry? Which has radial symmetry?

  7. ~ Protection and Support ~ • Not all animals have a skeleton but some have  • Exoskeletons: hard, waxy coating on the outside of body protecting internal organs, providing framework for support, and places for muscle attachment. • Endoskeletons: support framework within body protecting some organs and a bracing for muscles to pull against.

  8. The Invertebrates • 8 main phyla • No backbones • 95% of all animals are in this group

  9. Phylum Porifera: the Sponges • simplest form of animal life • live in water • Do not move around- sessile • no symmetry • Pores (holes) all over body

  10. Sponges are • Filter Feeders: filtering particles of food from water using collar cells and then pumps the water out the osculum.

  11. Phylum Porifera~ • Examples: Tube Sponge, Glass Sponge, Sea Sponge

  12. Phylum Cnidaria: jellyfish, hydra, sea anemones, and corals 2 different shapes • Medusa - like a jellyfishPolyp - like a hydra

  13. Phylum Cnidaria~ • Live in water • Most have tentacles • catch food with stinging cells • gut for digesting

  14. Phylum Cnidaria~ • Examples - Jellyfish, Hydra, sea anemones, and corals

  15. Phylum Platyhelminthes: Flatworms - Planaria, Tapeworms • Flat, ribbon-like body • Live in water or are parasites • bilateral symmetry • Some parasites - tapeworm

  16. Tapeworms are Parasites that lives in intestines of host absorbing food

  17. Phylum Platyhelminthes~ • Liver Fluke • parasite • lives inside of host

  18. PhylumNematoda: roundworms – hookworms trichinella • Round, tubular body • small or microscopic • bilateral symmetry • have both a mouth and anus • Live in water or are parasites

  19. Phylum Mollusca: Mollusks: snails, squid, clams • Soft bodies • Hard Shells • Live on land or in water • have a circulatory system and a complex nervous system. • Important food source for humans

  20. Phylum Mollusca Class Gastropoda • stomach-footed - moves on stomach • snails and slugs • may have 1 shell

  21. PhylumMollusca Class Cephalopods “head foot” • squids and octopuses • internal mantel

  22. Class Bivalves • 2 shells hinged together • clams, oysters, scallops and mussels

  23. Phylum Annelida– Segmented worms – Earthworms, Bristleworms, Leeches • Body divided into segments (sections) • Live in water or underground • have a nervous and circulatory system

  24. ~ Class Earthwormseat soil and breakdown organic matter, wastes provide nutrients to soil Class Bristleworms

  25. Class leeches • parasites that feed on blood of other animals Used in medicine too…

  26. Phylum Echinodermata "spiney skin" • Hard, spiney skin • Live in salt water • Radial symmetry • endoskeleton

  27. Phylum Echinodermata ~ Sea stars, sea urchins, sand dollars & sea cucumbers

  28. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E4TsarJk7Y

  29. Phylum Arthropoda: most successful & largest group of organisms on earth • Body divided into sections/segments • Exoskeleton • Jointed legs • well developed nervous system

  30. Phylum Arthropoda 3 subphylums: Classified into classes according to the number of legs, eyes and antennae they have. Subphylum Chilicerata is divided into 3 classes Arachnida, Merostomata, Pycnogonida

  31. Phylum Arthropoda: Subphylum Chilicerata Class Arachnida: spiders, scorpions, mites & ticks • no antennae • 4 pairs of legs • 2 body regions - cephalothorax & abdomen

  32. Arthropoda ~ Subphylum Chilicerata • Class Merostomata: Horseshoe crabs • Ancient group of species • Changed little over 350 million years • Aquatic, mostly found on Atlantic & gulf coasts of United States.

  33. Phylum Arthropoda - Subphylum Chilicerata • Class Pycnogonida: Sea spider

  34. Phylum ArthropodaSubphylum - Crustacea • Aquatic ones have gills • 2 antennae • 2 body regions or segmented • Shrimp, lobsters, crabs, barnacles, isopods (rolly polly’s)

  35. Subphylum Uniramia: 3 classes Insecta, Chilopoda, Diplopoda

  36. Phylum Arthropoda: Subphylum Uniramia Class Insecta: grasshoppers, ants, butterflies, bees • paired antennae • 3 pairs of legs • 2 body regions - head, thorax & abdomen

  37. Phylum ArthropodaSubphylum Uniramia Class Diplopoda Millipedes • segmented animals • Have 2 pairs of legs per segment • Primarily herbivores & decomposers

  38. Phylum ArthropodaSubphylum Uniramia Class Chiopoda: Centipedes • Usually terrestrial carnivores • Have 1 pair of antennae • Are often poisonous, using modified front claws to immobilize prey

  39. Anatomy of an Ant

  40. ~ Phylum Chordata ~ subphylumVertebrata 5 classes • Fish • Mammals • Reptiles • Amphibians • Birds

  41. Bellwork: 1. Organisms that are _________________have the ability to make their own food from sunlight or other chemical pathways. 2. Organisms that are ____________________ must eat other organisms Autotroph Heterotroph
