1. Animal Kingdom Invertebrates Tour of the Invertebrate Organisms of the Animal Kingdom

2. Invertebrates Are Animals Animal Characteristics –Eukaryotic –Heterotrophic –Multicellular, specialized cells –Lack Cell Walls –Reproduce, sexual and asexual –Respond to environment –Motile, muscles

3. Specifics to Invertebrates Characterized by No Backbone! Other means of structure Exoskeleton, Spicules, Shells, Pin, Hydrostatics Invertebrate Fun Facts 95% of all animal species Sizes range from microscopic to 20 meters

4. Classifying Invertebrates Body Symmetry Cephalization Level Body Plan Layers of Tissue Early Development – Protostome or Deuterostome

5. Major Groups Crustacea Platyhelminthes Annelida Porifera Cnidaria Insecta Mollusca Nematoda Echinodermata http://school.discovery.com/clipart/http://school.discovery.com/clipart/, http://clipart.usscouts.orghttp://clipart.usscouts.org

6. Things to Consider Level of Classification –Phylum or Class Common name examples for each –sea star Type of Symmetry –bilateral Type of Body Plan –acoelomate, coelomate Development of systems –Circulatory Movement

7. Invert Tour Title-Invert Tour- Animals without a backbone. They share the LACK of a trait. Purpose- Observe and gather information to compare/contrast Invert groups. Observations and Notes- Class or Phylum name Examples- Common names Type of symmetry Type of Body plan systemsMajor characteristicsRank

8. Conclusion-Reference chapters 26-29 Dragonfly 1.Which invert groups do you believe are the LEAST complex? WHY? 2.Which invert groups do you believe are the MOST complex? WHY? 3. List your evolutionary ranking from LEAST to MOST complex. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 4. How does YOUR RANKING compare to the BOOK model? (pgs 747-749) Explain in detail your ranking differences and similarities.
