Animal Kingdom

Two Phyla Kingdom Animalia Vertebrate Invertebrates (Backbone) (No Backbone)

Types of Vertebrates (Has Backbone) Fish, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds, Mammals

Example of invertebrates arthropods have the following characteristics A hard outer body covering called an exoskeleton. (No Backbone) Specialized mouth parts Jointed legs Compound Eyes Segmented body

Heterotroph Root word- Troph Troph - to feed Root word-Hetero Hetero – other, different What does it mean? FEEDS OFF OF OTHERS

Kary - nucleus So what do you think eukaryotic cell would be? eu- true Eukaryotic cell- cell with a nucleus

multicellular Organism made of many cells

Types of Reproduction in the Animal Kingdom Sexual Reproduction and Asexual Reproduction including Budding, Fragmentation, Regeneration

Sexual Reproduction The egg cell from the female parent and the sperm cell from the male parent unite and fertilization occurs. Offspring is diverse (genetically different) than parents.

Asexual Reproduction In asexual reproduction, no sex cells are involved, and only one individual produces the offspring. Many invertebrates or soft bodied animals reproduce by asexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction the offspring is uniform (genetically identical) or the same.

Budding In budding, an offspring grows out of the body of a parent. An example of an animal that reproduces this way if hydra. This animal lives in water. Using a magnifying glass, you can look for hydra in a pond. You may find it clinging to a plant such as hydrilla. You can put the plant in a jar of water, and observe how hydra reproduce.

Fragmentation Fragmentation In this form of asexual reproduction, the body of the parent breaks into distinct pieces or fragments. Each piece can develop into an offspring. An example of an animal that can reproduce this way is planaria. However, planarians often undergo sexual reproduction. Planaria is one king of flatworm.

Regeneration In regeneration, a piece of the parent animal gets detached. This piece can grow and develop into a whole new individual. It regenerates (or generates again) all the missing parts of the body. One group of invertebrates, called echinoderms, reproduces this way. An example is the sea star or star fish.
