1. Unit 5
Kingdom Animalia
Kingdom Animalia – Complex, multi-cellular, eukaryotic heterotrophic organisms

2. Animal Kingdom Characteristics
Most complex of all kingdoms
Multicellular (made of many cells)
Obtain energy by eating food - Heterotrophic/Consumers
Usually Reproduce Sexually
Able to move
Eukaryotic – cells have a nucleus but no cell wall or chloroplast
Have Specialized Parts:
CellsTissuesOrgansOrgan SystemsOrganisms

3. Animal Behaviors
Innate Behavior - (NOT learned) behaviors that are influenced by genes -an animal is born KNOWING how
to do something….
(-fish – swim and birds – fly)

4. Animal Behaviors
Learned Behavior - behaviors that have to be taught or observed
-Speech is innate in humans, but the
particular language (English, French….) you speak is learned.

5. Body Plans Animals Have 3 Body Plans

6. Body Plans Asymmetrical – No Symmetry
Radial Symmetry – body is organized around a central point
Bilateral Symmetry – (Bi = 2) One half is exactly like the other half

7. Animals Have Adaptations
Adaptation – a characteristic, a behavior, or any inherited trait that makes a species able to survive and reproduce in a particular environment
(include structures or behaviors for finding food, for
protection, and for moving from place to place)
Examples – Camouflage, Mimicry, Outer Coverings, ect…)
lizard’s legs allow it to move on land
polar bears fur allow it to survive in cold areas
strawberry dart-poison frog’s bright coloring warns predators that it is poisonous

8. Homeostasis Homeostasis – the maintenance of a
stable internal environment
Humans sweat and shiver to
help maintain an internal
constant temperature
Brainpop - Homeostasis

9. Categories of Animals
INVERTEBRATE- An animal that does not have a backbone
2)VERTEBRATE- An animal that has a backbone and a skull

26. Arthropods - Invertebrates
Some arthropods undergo metamorphosis
Metamorphosis Video Clip
Metamorphosis – the transformation of an
animal from its larval form into its adult form

27. VERTEBRATES

28. Vertebrates
Vertebrates - Brainpop
Fish
Amphibians
Reptiles
Birds
Mammals

29. Vertebrates Have a backbone
Have well-developed brains protected by a skull
Have an endoskeleton
-endoskeleton – an internal support system (internal skeleton)

30. Vertebrates Can be endothermic or exothermic
-exothermic (ectothermic) – COLD BLOODED – an animal whose body temperature changes with the OUTSIDE temperature
-endothermic - WARM BLOODED - an animal whose body temperature remains THE SAME, no matter what the outside temperature is

31. WORMS
FISH

32. Fish – Characteristics (pg. 431)
Largest group of vertebrates
Ectothermic - rely on the environment to regulate body temperature
Live in water
Breathe through gills
Have scales
Have fins
Have swim bladder which allows the fish to adjust to the depth at which it floats
Have a lateral line which is a sensory organ that allows the fish to sense vibrations from objects and other organisms around them

33. Fish - Adaptations Lateral Line to sense predators and prey
Swim Bladder to regulate depth.
Scales for protection
Gills for breathing
Fins to help it swim
External fertilization – female fish release eggs into the water where they are fertilized by sperm (Sexual Reproduction)
