Symmetry copyright cmassengale
Body Symmetry copyright cmassengale
Body Symmetry Symmetry is the arrangement of body parts around a central plane or axis Asymmetry occurs when the body can’t be divided into similar sections (sponges) copyright cmassengale
Body Symmetry Radial symmetry occurs when body parts are arranged around a central point like spokes on a wheel (echinoderms) Most animals with radial symmetry are sessile (attached) or sedentary (move very little) copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale
Body Symmetry Bilateral symmetry occurs when animals can be divided into equal halves along a single plane Organisms will have right and left sides that are mirror images of each other More complex type of symmetry copyright cmassengale
Body Symmetry Animals with bilateral symmetry are usually motile Animals have an anterior and posterior ends Show cephalization (concentration of sensory organs on the head or anterior end) copyright cmassengale

Characteristics of Animals All multicellular Eukaryotes (cells with nucleus & organelles) Ingestive heterotrophs (take in food and internally digest it) Store food reserves as glycogen Animals range in size from 25-meter-long blue whales to microscopic rotifers. copyright cmassengale
5. Most animals have Hox genes 5. Most animals have Hox genes. Control head to tail development in embryos
Lions Feeding (Ingestion) copyright cmassengale
Support Systems Have some type of skeletal support Endoskeleton inside and made of cartilage &/or bone Exoskeletons found in arthropods Cover the outside of the body Limit size Must be shed or molted making animal vulnerable to predators copyright cmassengale
Cicada Molting Exoskeleton copyright cmassengale
Support Systems Worms and echinoderms (starfish) have fluid-filled internal cavities giving them support Called hydrostatic skeletons copyright cmassengale
Movement Animals such as sponges may be sessile (attached & non-moving) Animals that move very little are said to be sedentary (clam) Animals that can move are motile Have muscular tissue to provide energy for movement copyright cmassengale
SESSILE SEDENTARY Chiton Sponge MOTILE Cheetah copyright cmassengale
Reproduction in Animals All animals are capable of sexual reproduction Some animals like sponges and earthworms are hermaphrodites producing both eggs and sperm Hermaphrodites may exchange sperm and NOT fertilize their own eggs copyright cmassengale
Leeches Exchange Sperm During Mating copyright cmassengale
Reproduction in Animals Females of some animals produce eggs, but the eggs develop without being fertilized Called Parthenogenesis New offspring will be all female Parthenogenesis occurs in some fishes, several kinds of insects, and a few species of frogs and lizards copyright cmassengale
Parthenogenesis in the Komodo Dragon copyright cmassengale
Mating and Mating Behaviors Female Beetles Mating Young Courtship Male Mating and Mating Behaviors copyright cmassengale
Levels of Organization Sponges are the ONLY animals that have just the cellular level All other animals show these levels – cell, tissue, organ, and system Cells may specialize (take own different shapes and functions) Cells are held together by cell junctions to form tissues copyright cmassengale
Levels of Organization Molecule or compound Atom Organelle Levels of Organization CELL Life begins Tissue Organ Organ system Organism copyright cmassengale
Invertebrate groups copyright cmassengale
Characteristics of Invertebrates Simplest animals Contain the greatest number of different species Most are aquatic (found in water) Do NOT have a backbone Includes sponges, cnidarians, flatworms, roundworms, annelids, mollusks, arthropods, and echinoderms copyright cmassengale
Phyla Porifera simplest animals sponges.
Sponge - Porifera Osculum of Sponge copyright cmassengale
Characteristics Simplest of all animals Contain specialized cells but no other organization level Most are marine Saltwater sponges are brightly colored Freshwater sponges are small and dull green color Size – 2 meters to 2 cm
Characteristics Porifera means pore-bearing Water enters through pores bringing in food and oxygen Filter feeders on plankton
Water Flow Through the Sponge WATER OUT Water Flow Through the Sponge WATER IN Osculum
Sponge Skeletons VENUS FLOWER BASKET SPICULES
Sponge Reproduction Sponges can regenerate (regrow) lost body parts through mitotic cell division (asexual) Sponges also reproduce asexually by budding
Branching Tube Sponge
Vase Sponges
Sea Anemone - Cnidaria Tentacles of Sea Anemone copyright cmassengale
More Cnidarians Brain Coral Red jellyfish copyright cmassengale
Phyla Cnidarians or coelenterate Cnidaria comes from the Greek work cnidos meaning stinging
Cnidarians are made up of two tissue layers separated by mesoglea. gastrovascular cavity mouth mesoglea tentacle oral arms Cnidarians are made up of two tissue layers separated by mesoglea. The ectoderm layer has three cell types. contracting cells nerve cells cnidocytes (which contain nematocysts) barbs coiled nematocyst discharged http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/player/animals/invertebrates-animals/other-invertebrates/plankton_jelly.html
Cnidarians have two body forms. 5.polyps In the polyp form of a coral, the tentacles and mouth face upward.
6. medusas In the medusa form of a jellyfish, the tentacles and mouth face downward.

The four major cnidarian classes are defined by their dominant body form. Anthozoans such as sea anemones have a dominant polyp stage. Scyphozoans are true jellyfish with a dominant medusa form. Cubozoans such as box jellies and sea wasps have a dominant medusa form. Hydrozoans such as hydra alternate between forms.
Anthozoans sea anemones and corals dominant polyp stage.
Scyphozoa Most familiar Common jellies Range in size from 5 millimeters to several meters
cubozoa Complex eyes Swim very quickly Four tenticles
Hydrozoans alternate between forms. Most never have a medusa stage http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/player/animals/invertebrates- animals/other-invertebrates/manowar_portuguese.html
Radial symmetry and cnidocytes Complex eyes Polyp reduced or lost Medusa produced by lateral bud Radial symmetry and cnidocytes
Life cycle of the cnidarian Asexual reproduction- Budding – a bud will form on the side Break off and form a new polyp Sexual Male and female medusa Sperm is released in the water to fertilize the eggs in the tenticles The cilliated pear shaped planula (larva) forms Swims freely until it comes in contact with the substrate and starts growing a polyp
