1 You’re Such an Animal!

2 What is an animal? Multicellular heterotrophs – take in food, digest it, distribute nutrients to cells Multicellular heterotrophs – take in food, digest it, distribute nutrients to cells Eukaryotes, cells lack cell walls Eukaryotes, cells lack cell walls Maintain homeostasis Maintain homeostasis Divided into 2 groups: invertebrates and chordates Divided into 2 groups: invertebrates and chordates Characteristics of Animals

3 What is an invertebrate? No backbone No backbone Have special parts for locomotion Have special parts for locomotion Some are sessile (permanently attached or fixed; not free moving) Some are sessile (permanently attached or fixed; not free moving) Some reproduce by budding, some with sperm and egg, some by parthenogenesis (unfertilized egg becomes an individual) Some reproduce by budding, some with sperm and egg, some by parthenogenesis (unfertilized egg becomes an individual) some invertebrates can regenerate lost parts or even a complete individual from a broken piece. some invertebrates can regenerate lost parts or even a complete individual from a broken piece.

4 Porifera – Sponges! Simplest animals Simplest animals Sac-like bodies – hole in the top leading to open body cavity Sac-like bodies – hole in the top leading to open body cavity Filter feeders - water flows out through top hole and in through pores in body wall. Filter feeders - water flows out through top hole and in through pores in body wall. No tissues, different cells perform different functions No tissues, different cells perform different functions Both sexual and asexual, motile larvae Both sexual and asexual, motile larvae

5 Porifera - sponges The two pictures on left show living sponges, the two pictures on right show the skeletons – used commercially. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/porifera/porifera.html http://www.teaching-biomed.man.ac.uk/bs1999/bs146/biodiversity/porifera.htm http://www.middleschoolscience.com/sponges.htm

Hunt prey with a muscular, retractable proboscis that has a mouth, a salivary gland, and teeth.

32 Chambered Nautilus The Chambered Nautilus is a “living fossil” – a member of the cephalopods which includes octopus and squid. Close relatives date back 100’s of millions of years. It propels itself close to the sea floor by shooting water from its movable siphon. Picture taken by Judy Jones
