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

Coral reefs

Assemblies of giant calcium carbonate skeletons and corals

Three major groups of mollusks

Gastropods


Bivalve mollusks


Cephalopods


Exoskeleton

A rigid external covering made of chitin and found in arthropod invertebrates

What are four groups of arthropods?

1) millipedes and centipedes


2) chelicerates


3) crustaceans


4) insects

What are the three stages of complete metamorphosis?

Larva



Pupa

What are the two stages of incomplete metamorphosis?

Nymph


Adult

What are the four distinctive characteristics of chordata?

Notochord


Dorsal hollow nerve chord


Pharyngeal slits


Post-anal tail

Notochord

A rod of tissue extending from head to tail in vertabrates

Dorsal hollow nerve chord

A nerve chord that forms the central nervous system in vertebrates

Pharyngeal slits

Gill slits, occurs in vertebrates

3) crustaceans (including lobsters, crabs, shrimp, and barnacles)


4) insects

Sponges are hermaphrodites. What is a hermaphrodite?

An individual that contains both male and female reproductive organs but produces only one kind of gamete

What are the three familiar groups of cnidarians we studied in this chapter?

Corals- live as small polyps in large colonial groups


Sea anemones- have polyp bodies that resemble flowers


Jellyfishes
