KINGDOM ANIMALIA

KINGDOM ANIMALIA
• Also called Metazoa
• Are multi-cellular and eukaryotic organisms
• Are motile, meaning they can move spontaneously and independently in
their lives.
• Their body-plan eventually are fixed as they develop, but some undergo
a process metamorphisis.
• All animals are heterotrophs, they must ingest other organisms or their
products for sustenance.
 KINGDOM ANIMALIA

PHYLA SUBKINGDOM

• PORIFERA GROUPS
• COELENTERATA • PARAZOA
• PLATYHELMINTHES  PORIFERA
• NEMATODA • VERTEBRATES  PLACOZOA
• ANNENILIDA • INVERTEBRATES
• ARTHROPADA • UEMATOZA
• MOLLUSCA
• ECHINODERMATA
• CHORDATA
 PHYLUM PORIFERA
(THE SPONGES)
• Mainly in marine (salt water)
• Have a pouros body wall, the pores or holes allow water to pass through
this animal.
• Floating food particles are caught once they are inside sponge.
 PHYLUM COELENTARATA
(COELENTERATES)
• Are also found in marine.
• Body wall is made of 2 cell layers, and there is a jelly-like material
between them.
ECTODERM
Outside layer
ENDODERM
Inside layer
• Most have tentacles that contain stinging cell that are used for protection
and capturing food.
• Examples: jellyfish, hydras and corals
 PHYLUM PLATYHELMINTHES
(FLATWORMS)
• Are found in fresh and salt water and in land
• Has a flattened body, having 3 distinct tissue layers
called; ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm (middle
layer)
• They mostly depends on another animal (parasitic)
• Examples: planaria and tapeworms
 PHYLUM NEMATODA
(ROUNDWORMS)
• Found in fresh and salt water and in land
• Its body is long, smooth and unsegmented that is being
covered by a protective cuticle.
• Have a complete digestive system.
• Most of them are parasitic
• Examples: roundworms and pinworms
 PHYLUM ANNELIDA
(SEGMENTED WORMS)
• Found in marine, fresh water and land.
• Having a similar body shape with the roundworms but
are segmented both internally and externally.
• Have a complete digestive sysytem , often reffered as a
tube-within-a-tube body plan.
• Examples: earthworm, leech and sandworm
 PHYLUM ARTHROPODA
(ARTHROPODS)
• Found in all environments
• Most succesful in the animal group having a million of species.
• Their bodies are divided into 3: head, abdomen and thorax
CHITIN
Surrounded the soft body to be protected and prevents water loss.
• Examples: insects, spiders, and crustaceans
 PHYLUM MOLLUSCA
(MOLLUSK)
• Found in marine, fresh water and in land
• Have a soft, unsegmented body.
RADULA
The tongue-like organ which has many rows of teeth, use to
scrape food from surface of plants and roocks.
• Are animals that have shells.
• Examples: clams, snails, and oysters
 PHYLUM ECHINODERMATA
(ECHINODERMS)
• All are marine mainly living in the ocean floors.
• Have an internal, limy skeleton and a spiny outside
surface or skin.
• Have these water-filled tubes that helps on moving and
as suction cups.
• Example: sea stars and sea urchins.
 PHYLUM CHORDATA
(CHORDATES)
• Found in marine, freashwater and in land.
• Have a flexible, supporting rod or notochord on their dorsal
side.
• In invertebrates, the notochord remains stiff and flexible.
• In vertebrates, a cartilage or bone replaces the notochord to
form a supporting backbone.
• Examples: fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals.
 CHARACTERISTICS
• Structure
Have bodies differentiated into seperate tissues, includes
muscles and nerve tissues.
There is also an internal digestive chamber, with one or two
openings.
Have eukaryotic cells, that can be clacified to orm structures
like shells, bones and spicules.
 CHARACTERISTICS
• Reproduction and Development
Reproduce through both sexual and sexually
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Produce haploid gametes by meiosis.
Smaller, motile gametes are spermatozoa, and larger, non-motile gametes are ova.
fusing to form zygotes, which develop into new individuals.
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
May take place through parthenogenesis, where fertile eggs are produced without
mating, buddig or fragmentation.
 CHARACTERISTICS
• Food and Energy Sources
All animals are heterotrophs.
They feed directly or indirectly on other living things.
They are subdivided into;
 Carnivores
 Herbivores
 Omnivores
 Parasites
All animals are consumers.
