What are the three characteristics of animals? |
1) all animals eat other organisms 2) all animals move, at least in some stage of their life cycle 3) all animals are multicellular, and most have body parts that are specialized for different functions |
|
What are the four questions to ask when classifying animals? |
1) does the animal have specialized cells that form defined tissues? 2) does the animal develop with radial symmetry or bilateral symmetry? 3) during hot development, does the mouth or anus form first? 4) does growth occur by molting or by continuous addition to the animals body? |
|
Sponge |
Animals that lack tissues and organs, and usually have no symmetry |
