Animal classification
Key science words
vertebrate
invertebrate
symmetry
TRAITS OF ANIMALS
Animals are consumers
Must take in food from their surroundings
Some animals eat plants, others eat other
animals
Animals digest and store food in their
bodies
Most animals can move from place to
place
Animals are multicellular organisms
Cells are grouped into tissues and organs
that form systems
Most animals have a nervous, digestive,
and reproductive system
TWO GROUPS OF ANIMALS
Vertebrates
animals with backbones
fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds
Invertebrates
animals without a backbone
worms, and insects
SYMMETRY
BALANCED ARRAINGEMENT OF BODY
PARTS AROUND A CENTER POINT OR
ALONG A CENTER LINE
Two types of symmetry
Radial
Bilateral
SYMMETRY
Radial
Body parts are arranged in a circle around
a central point
Ex. A sea anemone fig 7-1b
SYMMETRY
Bilateral
The body can be divided lengthwise into
two equal sides, a right side and a left side
This includes all vertebrates and some
invertebrates
The animal must have a head and a tail
end, and an upper and lower half
REVIEW OF TRAITS
1. Animals can’t make food, they must
catch it and eat it
2. Most animals can move from place
to place
3. Animals have many cells
4. Most animals have some type of
symmetry
9 MAJOR GROUPS
OF CLASSIFICATION
Sponges, stinging celled animals, 3
worm phyla, soft-bodied animals,
jointed-leg animals, spiny skinned
animals, chordates
Sponges are the smallest phyla, jointedleg animals are the largest, refer to fig.
7-2
SPONGES AND STINGINGCELLED ANIMALS
Simple Invertebrates
Have pores
Do not move on their own
Live in salt and fresh water
Water comes in through the pores and out
through a hole at the top center of the body,
food from the water gets trapped by food
getting cells inside the body
SPONGES CONT.
Two cell layers thick
Have no muscles or nerve cells
No tissues, organs, or organ systems
Reproduce sexually or asexually, by egg
and sperm, or by budding
Sponges are asymmetrical lacking
symmetry
STINGING-CELLED ANIMALS
Animals with stinging cells
Hollow sac-like bodies
Lack organs
Live in the ocean and in fresh water
Examples: jellyfish, coral, sea fan
Stinging-celled cont.
Have arm-like parts call tentacles that
surround the mouth
Have RADIAL symmetry
A body cavity contains an opening
called the mouth
It’s the only way into and out of the
body
Stinging-celled cont
Attach themselves to the ocean bottom
with or to rocks with a structure called
a disc
Do not move from place to place
How do they catch their food?
With their tentacles
WORMS
Worms are invertebrates
3 phyla---flatworms, roundworms,
segmented worms
We
Tentacles contain poison darts that
stuns the animal that touches them
Food enters through the mouth and
undigested food leaves through the
mouth
Reproduce sexually and asexually
FLATWORMS
Simplest worms
Flat body, 3 layers of cells, outer,
middle, and a thick middle layer
Most flatworms are parasites
Parasites live in or on other living things
getting food from them (called the
host)
TAPEWORM
Flat ribbon-like body divided into
sections
Live in the intestine of almost any kind
of vertebrate
Have suckers and hooks that hold onto
the sides of the intestine
They absorb food that has already been
digested
TAPEWORM CONT.
Tapeworms in humans are not as
common as in other countries
In the us waste is treated with
chemicals at sewage plants
Meat is inspected for cysts
However always cook your meat well
Copy down the life-cycle of a tapeworm
into your notes pg 143
ROUNDWORMS
Have long bodies with pointed ends
3 layers of cells
Some cannot be seen without a
microscope
Many are parasites
Hosts are people, dogs, cats, plants
ROUNDWORMS CONT
Found in the soil
Hookworms are parasites of people,
they enter through the skin of the feet,
once inside they move to the intestine,
and feed on the hosts blood
Refer to figure 7-11
ROUNDWORMS CONT
Have long rounded bodies
Has a mouth and an anus (first animal
to have a 2 way gut)
First animal to have an intestine
Males and females are separate
animals, first animal to have separate
sexes
SEGMENTED WORMS
Bodies divided into sections called
segments
3 cell layers
Most complex of the worms
Live in salt water, fresh water and on
land
Ex: leech, earthworm
SEGMENTED WORMS CONT
Segments have muscles
Have a mouth and an anus
Has an intestine
Two blood vessels
5 pairs of simple hearts that carry oxygen and
food to all the cells
Has nerves and a simple brain
Separate sexes
SOFT-BODIES ANIMALS
Soft body protected by a hard shell
Body covered by a thin fleshy tissue
called a mantle (mantle makes the
shell)
Have a muscular foot for moving
Have a head with a mouth with teeth
1st CLASS OF SOFT-BODIED
ANIMALS
Snails and slugs
Live on land and in the water
Glide using a muscular foot
snails(shell) slugs(no shell)
Snail has two tentacles (sense organs)
Contain eyes that detect light
2nd class
Clams, oysters, scallops
Have two shells that fit together
Have a muscular foot
Live buried in the sand and filter water
to get food
3rd class
Octopus, squid, cuttlefish
Squid, cuttlefish have shells inside their
bodies
Octopus has no shell
Have tentacles surrounding the head
Well developed eyes
Rapid swimmers
Features of soft-bodied
animals review
1 all are invertebrates
2 soft body covered by a mantle
3 most have 1 or 2 external shells, or
an internal shell
4 most have a foot by which they move
about
will consider the 9 phyla shown
below.
