What are the two groups in the Plant Kingdom? And give characteristics and an example of each. |
Monocotyledons (e.g. grasses): - Only one 'seed leaf' - Long, thin leaves, with parallel veins Dicotyledons (e.g. trees): - two 'seed leaves' - broad leaves with a network of veins |

What makes something an arthropod? |
Having a hard exoskeleton and jointed limbs. |
|
|
|
Name two groups of arthropods (Beginning with I and C) and their characteristics. |
Insects: - Three body parts – head, thorax, and abdomen - Three pairs of legs - Usually 1 or 2 pairs of wings Crustaceans: - Many segments, usually each with legs, claws or feelers - Breathe via gills, as live in water - Exoskeleton particularly hard, for protection |

|
|
Name two groups of arthropods (beginning with A and M) and their characteristics. |
Arachnids: - Two body parts, eight legs and no wings - All have piercing jaws since all are predators Myriapods: - Long, thin body with many segments for moving easily through soil and leaf litter - Antennae as sense organs in dark habitats |
|
|
|
Name three other groups of invertebrates in the Animal Kingdom. State their characteristics. |
Annelids (worms): - Many segments on long body - Body covered with mucus to conserve water - Many are hermaphrodite - Usually have chetae (bristles) for movement Nematodes: - No segments – long cylindrical body Molluscs: - Have a soft body, with a muscular foot used for movement - Often have eyes on retractable tentacles - Soft body is often enclosed in a shell made of calcium carbonate |

Begin with: F, A, R, B, M |
|

External features: - Scales - Fins - Eyes and lateral line Other features: - Jelly-covered eggs (external fertilisation) - Ectothermic - Gills for gas exchange |
|
|
|

External features: - Moist skin - Four limbs - Eyes and ears Other features: - Jelly-covered eggs (external fertilisation) - Ectothermic - Lungs/skin for gas exchange |
Examples: Newts, frogs. |

External features: - Dry, scaly skin - Four limbs (not in snakes) - Eyes and ears Other features: - Soft-shelled eggs (internal fertilisation) - Ectothermic - Lungs for gas exchange |
Examples: snakes, lizards. |
|
|

External features: - Feathers (scales on legs) - Two wings, two legs - Eyes and ears Other features: - Hard-shelled eggs (internal fertilisation) - Endothermic - Lungs for gas exchange |
|
|
|
