The animal kingdom is extremely diverse, with some animals being microscopic while others are several meters long, living in various environments from inside other bodies to the open sea. Animals are multicellular eukaryotes that lack cell walls and carry out essential functions like feeding, respiration, circulation, excretion, response, movement, and reproduction to maintain homeostasis. The kingdom is divided into invertebrates, which lack backbones, and vertebrates, which have backbones.

The document compares and contrasts the characteristics of mollusks and annelids. Both phyla are bilaterally symmetrical with a soft body and internal coelom. They can live in various environments on land or in water. Mollusks have a hard shell that protects their soft body, while annelids move via alternating circular and longitudinal muscles. Both groups exhibit a range of reproductive strategies including asexual reproduction and hermaphroditism. They have organ systems that allow for respiration, circulation, digestion, and nerve conduction.Mollusks bivalves:gastro:cepha marine

The document describes three classes of mollusks: Gastropoda (snails and slugs), Bivalvia (clams, mussels, oysters), and Cephalopods (octopuses, squid, cuttlefish). All mollusks have a visceral mass containing organs and a mantle cavity with gills. Gastropods have a muscular foot and radula for scraping food. Bivalves have two shells called valves held together by adductor muscles. Cephalopods are predators with advanced brains, eyes, and tentacles used to capture prey.Vertebrates pptx

Vertebrates are animals that have backbones and are characterized by a muscular system. The major groups of vertebrates are fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. For classification purposes, vertebrates are divided into four major groups: jawless fishes, cartilaginous fishes, bony fishes, and tetrapods.11U bio ani 04

The document introduces the four main steps of digestion: ingestion where food is consumed, digestion where food is broken down mechanically or chemically, absorption where nutrients are extracted from food, and egestion where waste is removed. It notes that different animals have different digestive systems to break down food, such as jellyfish which have a "bag" system or birds which swallow rocks in their gizzards, but the overall goal of breaking down food is the same across species.Diapause and cold hardiness in insects biochemical aspects

Diapause is a period of suspended or arrested development during an insect's life cycle. Insect diapause is usually triggered by environmental cues, like changes in daylight, temperature, or food availability.
State of arrested development in which the arrest is enforced by a physiological mechanism rather than by concurrently unfavorable environmental conditions.

The document discusses digestion and nutrition. It covers the major modes of nutrition like photoautotrophs, chemoautotrophs, photoheterotrophs, and chemoheterotrophs. It also discusses the different dietary categories like herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. The four main stages of food processing are ingestion, digestion, absorption, and elimination. The human digestive system and its parts like the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine are described. Key concepts around regulation of digestion, nutritional requirements, appetite regulating hormones, protein and vitamin needs are summarized as well.Mollusks

Mollusks are a highly diverse phylum that live in many different environments. They are divided into nine or ten classes, two of which are extinct. Cephalopods like squid and octopuses are among the most neurologically advanced invertebrates. The giant or colossal squid species are the largest known invertebrates. Gastropods like snails and slugs make up the majority of mollusk species. Mollusks have varied body structures, but share a mantle cavity and similar nervous system structure.Kingdom Animalia - Introduction and vital functions

Animals are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that have specialized organs and systems. They obtain nutrients through heterotrophic nutrition, meaning they feed on other organisms. Animals interact with their environments through sensory organs and nervous systems. They reproduce sexually or asexually and have embryonic development that results in oviparous, viviparous, or ovoviviparous offspring. Animals are classified as invertebrates, which lack backbones, or vertebrates, which have backbones and internal skeletons.ReviewSI

Metamorphosis in amphibians involves dramatic changes initiated by thyroid hormones that transform aquatic larvae into terrestrial adults. These changes include remodeling of tissues and organs like development of lungs and loss of gills to transition from aquatic to terrestrial respiration. Changes in skin, digestive system and other organs prepare the amphibian for life on land. The process is controlled by thyroid hormones which activate receptors that turn on genes driving tissue remodeling and metamorphosis.Osmoregulation in fresh water protozoa - Shampa Jain

1) Animals obtain food through various methods such as filter feeding, detritivory, carnivory, herbivory, and nutritional symbiosis.
2) Digestion can occur intracellularly through specialized cells or extracellularly through digestive tracts and gastrovascular cavities. Digestive tracts break down food through mechanical and chemical digestion.
3) Mouthparts and digestive systems are specialized for different diets. Herbivores have adaptations for grinding plants while carnivores have sharp teeth for tearing meat. Herbivores also rely on microbial symbionts to aid in digestion.Aquatic adaptations in birds and mammals

This document provides information about the nutrition of amoebas. It discusses that amoebas exhibit holozoic nutrition, feeding on algae, bacteria, and other protozoans. When prey is active, the amoeba forms a food cup around it using pseudopodia, then secretes a sticky, toxic fluid to adhere to and kill the prey through invagination. The food is then transported into a food vacuole and digested through fusion with lysosomes containing enzymes, with undigested waste ejected through exocytosis.Chapter 27.4

The document discusses how different animals excrete nitrogenous wastes like ammonia while balancing water levels. Small animals allow ammonia to diffuse through their skin, while larger ones have excretory systems. Mammals convert ammonia to urea, while birds and reptiles produce uric acid. Aquatic animals face challenges with water balance due to osmosis, while land animals conserve water through specialized structures and waste forms like uric acid pastes.Animal diversity

Radial and bilateral symmetry, cephalization, and the presence of a coelom are important characteristics in invertebrate evolution. Radial symmetry is seen in organisms like sea anemones where body parts repeat around the center, while bilateral symmetry is a single dividing line making two halves in worms and arthropods. Cephalization concentrated sense organs and nerves at the front, allowing more sophisticated responses. A true coelom is a fluid-filled cavity lined with mesoderm tissue, found in more complex phyla.Metamorphosis in Amphibians

Amphibian metamorphosis is initiated by thyroid hormones that travel through the bloodstream and induce changes in organs and tissues. This includes the growth of adult structures like limbs, remodeling of larval structures like the intestine and nervous system, and programmed cell death of larval structures like gills and tail. The levels of thyroid hormones regulate the timing and progression of metamorphosis through different stages from pre-metamorphosis to metamorphic climax. While some tissues proliferate and differentiate in response to thyroid hormones, other tissues are instructed to degenerate, allowing the transition from aquatic larva to terrestrial adult.Unit 08 animal diversity

Annelid worms have bilateral symmetry and segmented bodies made of repeating parts. There are three main classes: earthworms, bristle worms, and leeches. They obtain food through scavenging, predation, or parasitism and can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Annelids live in saltwater, freshwater, or on land. They move via muscle systems and bristles, and have circulatory and nervous systems.Difference between digestive tract and cavity
Difference between digestive tract and cavityBubly Atif

A digestive tract has two openings and food is processed through a tube-like structure containing multiple organs from mouth to anus, as seen in humans, insects, and animals. In contrast, a digestive cavity has a single opening where food enters and leaves through the same opening, and digestion occurs in a pouch-like structure without different organs, as observed in hydra and flatworms. The key differences are the number of openings, structure, organ involvement, and ability to efficiently digest food.protostomes and deuterostomes

Protostomes are animals where the blastopore becomes the mouth, and have spiral cleavage, mesoderm from the 4d cell, and a trochophore larva. Deuterostomes are animals where the blastopore becomes the anus, and have radial cleavage, mesoderm from pouches off the gut, and a dipleurula larva. Sexual reproduction in protozoans involves fusion of gametes through syngamy or amphimixis, and can include conjugation during unfavorable conditions.悪看温鉛温s

Invertebrates lack a backbone or spinal column and include animals like insects, spiders, worms and jellyfish. They often have an exoskeleton and respire through their skin. Vertebrates do have a backbone and include mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish. They have an endoskeleton and are further classified by characteristics like having feathers, laying eggs or being warm-blooded. The key difference between the groups is whether or not they have a backbone.Kingdom Animalia

The document discusses key characteristics of animals in the kingdom Animalia. It notes that animals are multicellular, mitochondrial heterotrophs that ingest and digest food internally. There are estimated to be around 9-10 million animal species on Earth across 36 phyla. Most animals exhibit bilateral symmetry and sexual reproduction, and range widely in size and habitat. Advanced animal body plans evolved from simpler multicellular to bilaterally symmetrical to coelomate forms with specialized tissues and organs.Body Structures of Animals SCIENCE4.pptx

Animals have body structures that help them survive in their environments. Aquatic animals like fish have scales for protection and swimming and gills for breathing underwater. They also have exoskeletons or shells. Terrestrial animals have adaptations like fur, feathers, or moist skin to survive on land. Animals also have specialized body parts for finding food like claws, beaks, tongues, and different types of teeth for catching prey or eating plants.DIVERSITY IN LIVING ORGANISMS

Classification systems help organize the diversity of life on Earth. Early systems like Aristotle's grouped organisms by habitat, but this was misleading as very different organisms can share a habitat. Modern classification is based on fundamental characteristics like cellular structure, multicellularity, and mode of nutrition.
The five kingdom system proposed by Whittaker in 1969 divides organisms into Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Carl Woese later divided Monera into Archaebacteria and Eubacteria. Organisms are also classified as eukaryotes or prokaryotes based on cellular structure. Vertebrates like fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals are classified based on![Share KINGDOM ANIMALIA [medical bacteriology] -1.pptx](https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/sharekingdomanimalia-1-240813050108-8ca89891-thumbnail.jpg?width=560&fit=bounds)

The Animalia Kingdom is the largest kingdom, containing over 1 million species. It includes both invertebrates and vertebrates. Invertebrates lack an internal skeleton and make up 98% of animal species, having exoskeletons or hydrostatic skeletons. Vertebrates have backbones and include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. They are distinguished by features like brains, circulatory systems, and sometimes jaws. Both invertebrates and vertebrates are multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes that inhabit diverse environments worldwide.Wildlife management - habit, habitat, territory & niche of animals

The document discusses various concepts related to animal behavior including habit, habitat, territory, niche, herbivores, carnivores, solitary animals, packs, and herds.
It defines habit as aspects of animal behavior or structure. Habitat is described as the physical area where a species lives, defined by factors like temperature and rainfall. Territory refers to the area an animal defends against others of its species. Niche is the role a species plays in its ecosystem, such as how it obtains energy.
Herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores are discussed in detail. Examples of solitary animal behaviors and specific pack behaviors in species like wolves are provided. Herds are describedVertebrate diversity

This document provides a classification of animals, dividing them into vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates include mammals, fish, reptiles, birds and amphibians, which are further defined by their key characteristics such as how they reproduce, regulate body temperature, breathe and move. Invertebrates make up 97% of the animal kingdom and lack backbones, including sponges, corals, jellyfish, worms, starfish, mollusks, arthropods and insects. They are grouped according to their physical traits and structures. Phylum Platyhelminthes

The document discusses the three domain system and six kingdom system of classification. The three domains are Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. Bacteria and Archaea are prokaryotic and unicellular, while Eukarya includes protists, fungi, plants, and animals which are eukaryotic. The six kingdoms are further divided within these domains.Chordates

The document discusses nonvertebrate chordates and fish. It states that tunicates and lancelets are the two groups of nonvertebrate chordates. It defines chordates as animals that have a nerve cord, notochord, pharyngeal pouches and a tail extending past the anus. The document also notes that fish are aquatic vertebrates that mostly have paired fins, scales and gills, and that the evolution of jaws and paired fins were important developments for fish. It discusses adaptations for aquatic life in fish and classifies all living fish into three groups: jawless fish, cartilaginous fish, and bony fish based on their internal structure.18 1 Classification

Taxonomy is the discipline of classifying organisms and assigning each a universally accepted scientific name using a binomial nomenclature system consisting of genus and species. This classification system organizes organisms into a hierarchy of taxa including genus, family, order, class, phylum, and kingdom based on their characteristics and evolutionary relationships.Elements Of Behavior

1) The document discusses different theories of how animals learn and behave, including innate behavior, stimulus-response learning, and different types of learned behavior like habituation, classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and insight learning.
2) It provides examples of each type, like how animals might respond with defense, escape, or attack behaviors innately in response to being spooked in the wild.
3) The document also discusses famous experiments that helped establish theories of learning, like Ivan Pavlov's work with classical conditioning and B.F. Skinner's operant conditioning experiments using a "Skinner Box."Diversity Of Mammals Monotremes

Monotremes are a special group of mammals that share characteristics with reptiles. They lay soft-shelled eggs and incubate them for 10 days like reptiles. Monotremes also have a cloaca, a single bodily opening, like reptiles. There are only two monotreme species - echidnas, which are spiny anteaters found in Australia and New Guinea, and have either short or long beaks, and platypuses, which are one of the few poisonous mammals and live in water hunting for food.Diversity Of Mammals Placental Mammals

Placental mammals exchange nutrients and gases between the mother and embryo through the placenta. This includes humans and most other mammals. Mammals are divided into groups based on traits like number of toes and diet. Carnivores like bears eat meat but can also consume plants. Cetaceans like whales are carnivorous marine mammals. Bats are the only mammals that can truly fly and feed on insects, fruit, and nectar. Rodents have sharp front teeth and eat plants and wood. Primates like lemurs have complex behaviors and brains unlike other animals. Proboscideans like elephants have trunks.Primates And Human Origins
Primates And Human Originsguest10f469

1) Fossil discoveries have shown that human-like creatures lived hundreds of thousands to millions of years ago, but the exact origins of humans is still unclear.
2) Early hominids such as Sahelanthropus tchadensis from 6.75 million years ago may have been human ancestors or more closely related to other apes.
3) Over millions of years, hominids became more upright, less dependent on trees, developed tools and art, and migrated from Africa to other parts of the world, including Neanderthals who lived in caves.
4) While theories abound, the exact reasons for hominid migrations and developments are unknown.What Is An Animal 13 1

Animals are living things that cannot make their own food, digest food instead, and have many cells with nuclei to move around. They can be divided into vertebrates that have backbones and invertebrates without, with body structures arranged radially in a circle or bilaterally along a line.Diversity Of Mammals Marsupials
Diversity Of Mammals Marsupialsguest10f469
油
Marsupials are mammals whose young develop in pouches. Examples include kangaroos, koalas, wombats, and Tasmanian devils. Kangaroos have strong tails and legs to jump long distances. Koalas mainly eat eucalyptus leaves and sleep 16-18 hours a day due to low metabolism. Wombats dig burrows with claws and teeth. Tasmanian devils are the largest carnivorous marsupials and get their name from loud fighting noises. While Australians may joke about dangerous "drop bears," these do not actually exist.Reptiles Juju

Reptiles are vertebrates with scaly skin, lungs, and terrestrial eggs that allow them to live fully on land. They evolved from amphibian ancestors and came to dominate during the Triassic period, though most dinosaurs went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period due to volcanic eruptions and an asteroid impact. Modern reptiles include snakes, lizards, crocodilians, turtles, and the tuatara; they regulate their body temperature through environmental interactions, have two-chambered hearts, and reproduce through internal fertilization or ovoviviparity. Many reptile species are endangered due to habitat destruction and overhunting.Birds
Birdsguest10f469
油
Birds are feathered, winged animals that evolved from extinct reptiles. They have several adaptations for flight including lightweight bones, strong chest muscles and aerodynamic feathers. Birds maintain a constant high internal temperature through high metabolisms and efficient respiratory, circulatory and digestive systems. Their feeding process involves using a muscular gizzard to break down food and a crop to store and moisten it.Reptiles Life Science 15 4

Reptiles first appeared nearly 280 million years ago and include turtles, crocodiles, and lizards and snakes. They have dry scaly skin, lay amniotic eggs with membranes to protect embryos, and show little maternal care once eggs are laid. Modern reptiles descended from early reptiles and vary widely in size, shape, color, habitat, diet, and behavior.14 3 Arthropods

Reptiles evolved from amphibian-like ancestors and have diversified into many forms like turtles, snakes, and dinosaurs. Reptiles have lungs and lay shelled, amniotic eggs to protect embryos from drying out. The four surviving groups of reptiles are lizards and snakes, crocodilians, turtles and tortoises, and tuatara. Birds are reptile-like animals that maintain a constant internal temperature through generating their own body heat from metabolism, unlike reptiles which rely on external heat sources.Intro To Animals
- 1. By: Connie Davis 2-26-09 Biology Animals kingdom
- 2. Introduction to the Animal Kingdom The Animal Kingdom is the most diverse in appearance. Some animals are so small that they can live inside other animals. Others are many meters long and live in the sea, they can walk, swim, crawl, burrow , fly, or not move at all. Each major group, or phylum, has its own typical body plan.
- 3. What is an Animal? Animals, members of the Kingdom Animalia, are multicellular, eukaryotic heterotrophs whose cells lack cell walls.
- 4. Invertebrates- are animals that do not have a back bone. Vertebrates- are animals with back bones Invertebrates and vertebrates
- 5. What Animals Do to Survive Animals carry out the following essential functions: feeding, respiration, circulation, excretion, response, movement, and reproduction. Many body functions help animals maintain homeostasis, or a relatively stable internal environment. Feedback inhibition helps animals release heat.
