Animal Kingdom Invertebrates (without backbone) 無脊椎動物

Animal Kingdom Vertebrates ( with backbone ) 脊椎動物 Vertebrates ( with backbone ) 脊椎動物 Fishes Amphibians Reptiles Birds Mammals

Characteristics of Fishes W Body covered with slimy scale W Use gill for breathing W Use fin for swimming W cold-blooded animals W external fertilization W e.g. carp, goldfish, shark

Characteristics of Amphibians U Body covered with moist skin without scales U Use skin, lung and gills(tadpoles) for breathing U cold-blooded animals U external fertilization U frog, salamandar

Characteristics of Reptiles U Body covered with hard and dry scale U Use lungs for breathing U cold-blooded animals U Internal fertilization U Lay shelled egg U e.g. lizard, snake, turtle

Characteristics of Birds U Body covered with feathers U Use lung for breathing U With a pair of wings U Lay shelled egg U warm-blooded animals U Internal fertilization U e.g. penguins, Owl

Characteristics of Mammals U Body covered with hairs U Use lung for breathing U With mammary gland U With diaphragm U Internal fertilization U warm-blooded animals U e.g. rat, bat, whale, dolphin

Plant Kingdom Flowering plant ã Angiosperms ( 被子植物 ) Non-flowering plant ã ã Algae ( 藻類 ) ã ã Mosses ( 蘚類 ) ã ã Ferns ( 蕨類 ) ã ã Gymnosperms ( 裸子植物 )

Non-flowering plant - Algae U Without roots, stems or leaves U All contain chlorophyll U Live in water U e.g. Spirogyra, Fucus

U Small green plant U With simple leaves and stems but no true roots (rhizoids) U No vascular tissues U Live in damp places  e.g. Polytrichum Non-flowering plant - Mosses

Non-flowering plant - Fungus U No green pigment U No true root system U Non-photosynthetic

U With proper roots, stem and leaves U With vascular tissues U Reproduced by spores U Live in damp places U e.g. water fern Non-flowering plant - Ferns

Non-flowering plant - Gymnosperms U Large evergreen trees U With seed growing inside cones U With needle-shaped leaves U e.g. pine, cycad, ginkgo

Flowering plant - Angiosperms U With flowers U Seeds produced inside the ovary U (i)Dicotyledons U e.g.sunflower, rose, Bauhinia U (ii)Monocotyledons U e.g.rice, wheat, palm 雙子葉植物
