This document provides information on biological classification. It begins with the basic taxonomic ranks from kingdom to species. It then discusses the five kingdom system and key differences between the kingdoms. The document provides examples of classification for various organisms, including hydra, earthworm, snail, starfish, and organisms from other kingdoms. It discusses characteristics of different phyla such as porifera, cnidaria, platyhelminthes, nematoda, annelida, arthropoda, mollusca, echinodermata, and chordata. For several organisms, it provides the full scientific classification from kingdom to species.
4. Differences among Kingdoms
The 5 Kingdoms we use today.
Monera: single celled, prokaryote organisms
• Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae)
Protista: single celled, contains nucleus and
internal subdivisions
• Diatoms, dinoflagellates, and protozoans
Fungi: multicellular, chitinous cell wall, no
chloroplasts, heterotrophic, nutrition by absorption,
• Mushrooms
Plantae: multicellular, cell wall, cellulose,
chloroplasts, autotrophic
Animalia: multicellular, no cell wall, heterotrophs
5. Protista: single celled, contains
nucleus and internal subdivisions
• Diatoms, dinoflagellates, and
protozoans
Animalia: multicellular, no cell wall,
heterotrophs

6. Which Anatomical Features Mark BranchWhich Anatomical Features Mark Branch
Points on the Animal Evolutionary Tree?
• Lack of Tissues Separates Sponges from All Other
Animals
• Animals with Tissues Exhibit Either Radial or
Bilateral Symmetry
– Radially Symmetrical Animals Have Two
Embryonic Tissue Layers; Bilaterally Symmetrical
Animals Have ThreeAnimals Have Three
– Bilateral Animals Have Heads
11. It is aquatic in habitat.
Body is unicellular, irregular in shape.
Body is covered by plasma membrane or
plasmalemma.
Pseudopodia are projected from different
parts of body surface.
Body cytoplasm is differentiated into outer
ectoplasm and inner endoplasm.
In endoplasm Nucleus, Contractile
vacuole, Food vacuole and other
organelle are present.
16. Phylum Porifera
•Sessile stays in one place•Sessile-stays in one place
•Most simple multicellular organismMost simple multicellular organism
•No tissues or organs
•Central body cavity
•Osculum- large opening(s) at top
f i•Pores for incurrent water
23. Phylum PlatyhelminthesPhylum Platyhelminthes
•Diffusion is used in place of important body systemsDiffusion is used in place of important body systems.
•No real vision only senses light with eyespots
•Examples:Flukes and Tapeworms
•Reproduce asexually by fission
•Reproduce sexually by cross fertilization
26. 75 mm long 30 mm long
MOUTH
GONOPORE
ACETABULUM
ORAL SUCKER
(surrounds mouth)
EXCRETERY PORE
(Fasciola)
27. Fasciola hepatica “The Sheep Liver Fluke”
Because sheep are the
normal definitive host.
In places where sheep
are not raised can be
found in cattle.
Humans can become
infected!
30 mm long
30. Fascioloides magna “Giant Deer Fluke
or Giant Liver Fluke”
Found in deer, moose,
and elk.
Sometimes in cattle,
bison, sheep, goats,
llamas, and pigs.
Never found in people!
100 mm long!
32. Phylum Nematoda
•Roundworms are found everywhere
•In one cubic meter millions can live
•Some Nematodes are parasitic
•Trichinella is a muscle parasite found in pig meat
•Hookworms are intestinal and drink blood of stomach
p p g
•Filarial Roundworms infect lymphatic system cause Elephantiasis
41. Phylum Annelida
•Segmented worms are capable of more complex movementsg p p
•Have a closed circulatory system
•Have five pairs of “hearts”
•Pharynx draws in food
•Crop stores food
•Gizzard grinds food up
•Then it is passed into the intestine where nutrients is absorbed
•And out the anus
46. Phylum Arthropoda
•Most dominant animals on Earth
•Exoskeleton “suit of armor” made of chitin
•Efficient gas exchange allows rapid supply of oxygen to muscles
•Well developed sensory system
•Well developed nervous system•Well developed nervous system
•Well developed circulatory system
55. Phylum Mollusca
•Shell made of Calcium Carbonate
•Open circulatory system except for Cephalopods
•Mantle lays down the shell
Open circulatory system except for Cephalopods
•Radula tongue made of chitin used to scrape for food
•Bivalve named for number of shells
•In some the shell is internal
79. Phylum Echinodermata
•The name echinoderm is Greek for “hedgehog skin”
•Use a water-vascular system for locomotion,
respiration, and food capture
•Lack a circulatory system
•Have regenerative capabilities
