1 The Animal Kingdom What characteristics do all animals share? How are animals classified? “See ya Later!

2 What defines an animal?  1) all animals are multicellular eukaryotes  2) Animals have specialized cells for things such as digestion, vision, taste, and reproducing  3) All animals have the protein collagen surrounding cells to help them keep their shape  4) All animals eat other organisms  5) All animals digest their food

3 Organization  K ingdomAnimalia  P hylumChordata  C lassMammalia  O rderPerissodactyla (hoofed animals)  F amilyEquidae  G enusEquus  S peciescaballus  (HORSE)

4 Classification – If it has a back bone, it is a vertebrate. If not, it’s an invertebrate

5 Classification can show relationships – note the categories for this one Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Artiodactyla Family: Bovidae Genus: Bos Species: taurus  This is the classification of cattle

6 See how closely this animal is related to the cow on the previous slide Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Artiodactyla (even-toed, hoofed mammals) Family: Bovidae Genus: Ovis Species: aries

7 Binomial nomenclature  Naming a species by its genus and species is a good way to see if animals are closely related  Canis Lupus  Canis Lupus Familiaris  Felis Catus  Felis Concolor  nas platyrhynchos

9 Radial symmetry

10 Bilateral symmetry

11 Dogs – just because

12 Molecular analysis  Checking DNA, RNA, and proteins for similarities

13 Major Animal Phyla  Porifera  sponges Cnidaria Hydra, jellyfish, anemones, coral Platyhelminthes flatworms Nematoda roundworms

14 More major animal phyla  Phylum Mollusca Phylum annelida Phylum arthropoda Phylum Echinodermata
