Variety of Living Things and Their Classification
Animals
Animals can be classified into two groups: Invertebrates Animals without backbone Make up the most number of animals on the Earth Have great variety of shapes and sizes Some invertebrates have soft bodies with no bones at all. Examples of these invertebrates are earthworms and octopus Some invertebrates have coating on the outside of their bodies, also known as exoskeletons. Examples of these invertebrates are beetle and lobster Vertebrates Animals with backbone All vertebrates are either warm-blooded or cold-blooded Warm-blooded vertebrates have fixed body temperature Cold-blooded vertebrates have body temperature that changes to the surrounding temperature Can be divided into five main groups, which are fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals

Plant
Plants can be classified into two groups: Flowering plants produce flower, fruit and seed. They reproduce by seeds can be classified into monocotyledon and dicotyledon Characteristics Leaf Number of Cotyledon Type of stem Type of root Examples Monocotyledon Leaves with parallel veins One Soft stem Fibrous roots system
Dicotyledon Leaves with network veins Two Woody stem Tap roots system
Maize plant
Rambutan tree
Non-flowering plants do not produce flower, fruit and seed. They reproduce by spores or binary fission can be classified into algae, fungi, moss and fern

Q.R. 3.1
Quick Refresh
Living organisms can be classified into animals and plants Habitat is the place that living organisms lives, seeks food and reproduce Animals are divided into two group, which is vertebrate and invertebrate
Most of the animals on earth are invertebrates

Vertebrates is the animals with backbones. These includes fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals Invertebrates is the animals without backbones Plants are divided into two groups, which are flowering plants and non-flowering plants Flowering plants can be classified into monocotyledon and dicotyledon Non-flowering plants can be classified into algae, fungi, moss and fern

Smart Review

A living thing also known as an organism Living organisms exist in various shapes, sizes and habitats Variations is the differences that exist between the same species of living organism Some mammals have unusual characteristics than other mammals, such as (a) Whales and dolphins (live in water like fish) (b) Bats (have wings and fly like birds) (c) Anteaters (body covered with dry scales like reptiles, lay eggs) Insects constitutes the largest number among animals
