Animals: The Invertebrates
Chapter 23
Key Concepts:
All animals are multicelled, aerobic
heterotrophs
Animals originated about 900 million years
ago
Comparisons of body plans of existing
animals with fossil records reveal that there
were several trends in the evolutions of
certain lineages
Key Concepts:
Divergences gave rise to two major
lineages: those of the mollusks, annelids,
and arthropods and the other one to the
echinoderms and chordates
The arthropods, especially the insects,
have been the most successful animal
groups

In Conclusion
Animals are multicellular, aerobic
heterotrophs that ingest or parasitize
other organisms
Animals range from structurally
simple placozoans and sponges to
vertebrates
In Conclusion
Almost all animals more complex
than cnidarians show bilateral
symmetry, form tissues, organs, and
organ systems
All mollusks have a fleshy soft body,
and a mantle
In Conclusion
The annelids, have a segmented body,
complex organs, and coelomic chambers
Arthropods are the most successful of all
groups in terms of diversity, numbers,
distribution, defenses, and capacity to
exploit food resources
Echinoderms have spines, spicules, or
plates in their body wall
