Animals By: Mrs. Eash
2
Animals -all grow, change, reproduce, and respond to environment
-all made of cells -all grow, change, reproduce, and respond to environment -energy from food -MOST have symmetry Invertebrates (without backbones) - 95% of animals -all shapes and sizes Vertebrates (with backbones) -allows larger, heavier animals to move
3
Animals Without Backbones
6 Invertebrate groups Mollusks Cnidarians Sponges Echinoderms Arthropods Worms (roundworms, flatworms, segmented worms)
4
Mollusks Invertebrates with soft bodies Has a shell Most live in water
Inside or outside body Most live in water Clams, oysters (don’t move) Squid, octopus Only on land are snails and slugs
5
Cnidarians Armlike parts called tentacles Stay in one place
Tips have stinging cells Stuns prey Stay in one place coral Float or swim jellyfish
6
Sponges Adults stay in one place (babies can float)
Simplest invertebrate Vary in size Body full of holes Water flows through, carries food, food is trapped Filters a lot of water during one day Smell or taste bad to avoid predators
7
Echinoderms Spiny skin Endoskeleton (inside) Sea Stars (Starfish)
Tiny, tubelike feet 5 arms, no head Feet move around Wrap feet around oyster and open the shell for food Sea Urchins
8
Arthropods Largest invertebrate group Jointed legs
Body divided into 2 or 3 sections Exoskeleton Crustaceans Crabs and shrimp 2 pair of antennae, 2 to 3 sections Can chew
9
Arthropods Insects Centipedes Millipedes Arachnids
Largest group (almost 1,000,000) 1 pair of antennae, 3 pairs of legs, 1 or 2 pairs of wings, and 3 body sections Arachnids Spiders, ticks, and scorpions 4 to 5 pairs of legs, 2 body sections, fangs Centipedes One pair of legs on each section Millipedes 2 pairs of legs on each section
10
Worms Earthworm -type of segmented worm Tapeworm - type of flatworm
Roundworm -one way digestive system - Live inside other animals Tapeworm - type of flatworm Simplest worm Lives inside other animals
