1 Animal Phyla

2 Animals Animals are multicellular organisms that cannot make their own food (heterotrophs) They are grouped into individual phyla based on things such as body structure and how they reproduce

3 Backbones All animals can be grouped into two categories Invertebrates
Animals without a back bone 95% of all animals are in this category Sponges, Earthworms, sand dollars, snails, lobsters, insects

4 Vertebrates have bilateral symmetry
Their right half looks the same as their left half

5 Vertebrates Vertebrates Animals with a back bones
Fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals

6 Phylum Porifera Porifera- made up of sponges
Live in water, but do not float around Live attached to a surface Filter the water for food

7 Phylum Annelida Annelida- invertebrates
Most worms- earth worms and leaches Live in moist soil, or calm freshwater Segmented bodies (bilateral symmetry) Organ Systems

8 Phylum Echinodermata Invertebrates that live in the ocean
Bodies are arranged like spokes on a wheel Radial Symmetry Sea Stars, Sea urchins, and sand dollars Have a nervous system, but no brain

9 Phylum Mollusca Mollusks
Squid, octopuses, clams, mussels, snails, slugs Most live in the sea Except snails and slugs Have a shell Move using a foot (or tentacles)

10 Arthropoda Largest group of invertebrates Live everywhere
Appeared before dinosaurs Scorpions, lobsters, dragon flies, ladybugs, ants All have jointed appendages (legs) Exoskeleton Most developed nervous system of invertebrates

11 Vertebrates Vertebrates Animals with a back bones
Fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals

12 Phylum Chordata All Vertebrates belong to this phylum
All Chordates have a notochord, a rod shape supporting structure in their back at some stage in their developement

13 Class Classes are the next division below Phyla
There are 5 classes of Vertebrates we need to know Bony Fish Amphibians Reptiles Birds Mammals

14 Bony Fish Largest class of Fish All Fish live in Water
All have gills to filter water Lay eggs They have two chambered hearts that circulate blood

15 Amphibians Spend the first part of lives in water
Hatch eggs in water (like fish) As they grow their bodies change Smooth skin, 2 pairs of legs Frogs, toads, salamanders

16 Reptiles Live in or near water (generally)
Have lungs, scales, and lay eggs Eggs are leathery Hearts are much like birds and mammals

17 Birds Two legs and two wings Lay hard shelled eggs
Most fly, but not all (penguin) Have feathers for flight and insulation Bones are hollow Can regulate body temp (fish, reptiles and amphibians cannot)

18 Mammals All have fur or hair Females produce milk to feed young
Most have 4 legs (2 arms and 2 legs, 2 legs and 2 wings) Whales, bears, cats, deer, kangaroo, humans
