1
The Animal kingdom
2
Animal diversity Eagle (bird) and butterfly (insect) both have wings
Are they closely related? Animals show diversity in body structures and function
3
Animal diversity Scientists have named more than 1 million species of animals Many species that exist have not yet been discovered and named Some scientists estimate that more than 3 million species of animals live on Earth Some of these animals are becoming extinct before they have been discovered or described
4
Animal diversity
5
Classification of animals
Two main groups Based on the absence or presence of backbone (vertebral column) INVERTEBRATES (animals without backbone) VERTEBRATES (animals having backbone)
6
Classification of animals
7
INVERTEBRATES
8
Invertebrates Most animals on the Earth are invertebrates
Do not have a backbone Do not have any bones in their body Sponge, spider, snail, jelly fish, worms
9
INVERTEBRATE PHYLA Sponges (Phylum Porifera)
Cnidarians (Phylum Cnidaria) Flatworms (Phylum Platyhelminthes) Round worms (Phylum Nematoda) Mollusks (Phylum Mollusca) Annelids [Segmented worms] (Phylum Annelida) Arthropods (Phylum Arthropoda) Echinoderms (Phylum Echinodermata)
10
Sponges Live in ocean Asymmetric body
Tube-like body having small pores Sweeps water through pores into the tubes Special cells filter and digest food material Reproduce asexually (fragmentation) and sexually
12
Asymmetry, Bilateral symmetry and radial symmetry
15
Cnidarians Complex than sponges, invertebrates, live in oceans
Body plan medusa or polyp Cnidocytes (sting cells) Tentacles Budding/ fragmentation Sexual reproduction Hydra Jelly fish
16
Flatworms Simplest worms, live in water, damp soil, some are parasites
More complex body, bilateral symmetry Head with eyespots Reproduce sexually or fragmentation (asexually) Tapeworm Planaria
17
Roundworms Invertebrates with coelom, bilaterally symmetrical
Fresh water, damp soil, parasites Some eat other small organisms Ascaris
18
Annelids Found in oceans and on land, bilateral symmetry
Segmented worms (repeated body segments) Hermaphrodites Leech Earthworm
19
Mollusks Invertebrates, oceans, freshwater, land
Specialized tissue “mantle” – secretes shell Some have muscular foot to move e.g. snails Others have tentacles e.g. squids Reproduce sexually Snail Oyester Squid
20
Arthropods Most diverse group, presence of exoskeleton, Water, air, land Segmented body – head thorax, abdomen Spider, bee, fly, mosquito, grasshopper, centipede, beetle, shrimp, cockroach, crab
22
Echinoderms Spiny skinned – exoskeleton having spines, live in ocean
Water vascular system – pumps water Eat organic matter or other organisms Starfish Sea urchin
23
VERTEBRATES
24
Vertebrates Belong to phylum Chordata
Notochord - develops into backbone Backbone – a column of several bones called as vertebrae Backbone is a part of endoskeleton Muscles are attached to bones – movement Divided into five groups Fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals Live on land or in water Herbivore, carnivore or omnivore Separate genders (one gender per individual)
25
Fish More than half of vertebrate species are fish
Jawless, cartilaginous and bony fish Marine and freshwater Ectothermic (cold blooded) Cartilaginous Jawless Bony fish
26
Amphibians Water and land Require water to lay eggs
As tadpole live in water Frogs, toads, salamanders Thin moist skin Ectothermic (cold blooded) Frog Salamander
27
Reptiles Live on land, do not require water to lay eggs
Crawling animals Turtles, alligators, snakes Reproduce sexually Ectothermic (cold blooded)
28
Birds Some live on land, others in water, or both
Flying birds and flight less birds Feathers – maintain temperature and flying Reproduce sexually Endothermic (warm blooded) Pelican Parrots Penguin
29
Mammals Hair on body, external ears, produce milk
3 types – monotreme, marsupials and placental mammals Reproduce sexually Endotherms (warm blooded) Lay eggs Pouched Placenta
