Kingdom Plantae
2
Plants >300,000 known species Multicellular phototrophs
Cell wall with cellulose 2 groups Nonvascular (liverworts, hornworts, and mosses) Vascular (common plants like pines, ferns, corn, and oaks) Fungi, lichens
3
Plants Nonvascular plants Vascular plants
Small (lack of conducting cells keeps them <5” high) First evolved approximately 500 million years ago, likely were the earliest land plants Vascular plants Have specialized transporting cells Xylem (for transporting water and mineral nutrients Phloem (for transporting sugars from leaves to the rest of the plant) Fungi, lichens
5
Plants – Roles in Ecosystem
American chestnut, late 1800s Food source Generate oxygen Provide habitat for humans and wildlife List 3 functional roles that plants play in your life.
6
Kingdom Animalia
7
Animals Multicellular heterotrophs No cell wall
Big-brown bat, Eptesicus fuscus Multicellular heterotrophs No cell wall External or internal skeletons for support Skin to reduce muscle loss Muscles for moving to find food Brains, nervous system for integration of signals Internal digestive systems Fungi, lichens
8
Animals - Feeding Strategies
Heterotrophs Herbivores – eat plants Granivores – eat seeds Frugivores – eat fruits Foliovores – eat leaves Carnivores – eat other animals Piscivores – eat fish
9
Invertebrates & Vertebrates
Animals – 2 main groups Invertebrates & Vertebrates
10
Animals - Invertebrates
Phylum Proifera Phylum Cnidaria Phylum Mollusca Phylum Echinodermata Phylum Arthropoda
11
Animals - Invertebrates
Phylum Proifera Sponges, primitive filter feeders Phylum Cnidaria Jellyfish, corals, sea anemones Phylum Mollusca Bivalves - scallops, oysters, mussels, clams Gastropods – snails, slugs Cephalopods – squids, octopi Phylum Echinodermata Sea urchins and sea stars Phylum Arthropoda Spiders, scorpions, crabs, shrimp, insects, millipedes, and more
13
Animals - Vertebrates 50,000 vertebrates 2 groups
Jawless forms (Class Agnatha) Hagfishes, lampreys Jawed forms – most of the animals we know Condrichthyes – cartilaginous fishes, sharks, rays Osteichthyes – bony fishes Amphibia – salamanders, frogs, toads Reptilia – snakes, lizards, turtles, crocodiles Aves – birds Mammalia - mammals
