Name Class Date Introduction to Animals Unity and Diversity of Life Q: What characteristics and traits define animals? WHAT I KNOW 25.1 What is an animal? 25.2 How have different animal body plans evolved? WHAT I LEARNED SAMPLE ANSWER: Animals are different from other living things (bacteria, protists, fungi, and plants). SAMPLE ANSWER: All animals are multicellular, eukarytotic, and heterotrophic. Their cells lack cell walls. Chordates exhibit four characteristics during some stage of their development: a dorsal, hollow nerve cord; a notochord; a tail that extends beyond the anus; and pharyngeal pouches. SAMPLE ANSWER: SAMPLE ANSWER: Each animal group evolved a group of structures or “body plan” that is unique to that group. The features of a body plan include levels of organization (cells, tissues, organs, organ systems); body symmetry; differentiation of germ layers; formation of a cavity between the digestive tract and the body wall; patterns of embryological development; segmentation; cephalization; and limb formation. The features of body plans provide evidence needed to build a cladogram, or phylogenetic tree, of animals. Chapter 25 • Workbook A • Copyright © by Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates.

List and discuss the essential functions that animals perform in order to survive. Lesson Summary Characteristics of Animals All animals are multicellular, heterotrophic, and eukaryotic. Their cells lack cell walls. Types of Animals Animals are often classified into two broad categories: invertebrates and chordates. ▶ Invertebrates do not have a backbone, or vertebral column. • More than 95 percent of all animal species are invertebrates. • Invertebrates are classified in at least 33 phyla, the largest taxonomic groups of animals. Examples of invertebrates are sea stars, jellyfishes, and insects. ▶ Chordates exhibit four characteristics during some stage of development: a dorsal, hollow nerve cord; a notochord; a tail that extends beyond the anus; and pharyngeal pouches. • A notochord is a supporting rod that runs through the body just below the nerve cord. • Pharyngeal pouches are paired structures in the throat region. • Most chordates develop a backbone, or vertebral column. They are vertebrates. What Animals Do to Survive Animals must maintain homeostasis in order to survive. One important way to maintain homeostasis is feedback inhibition, also called negative feedback, in which the product or result of a process limits the process itself. In order to maintain homeostasis, animals must ▶ gather and respond to information; ▶ obtain and distribute oxygen and nutrients; ▶ collect and eliminate carbon dioxide and other wastes. They also reproduce. Characteristics of Animals 1. Complete the graphic organizer to summarize the characteristics of animals. Animals have characteristics such as Multicellular Heterotrophic Eukaryotic No cell walls Lesson 25.1 • Workbook A • Copyright © by Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. 394 Name Class Date Types of Animals 2. Are invertebrates rare? Explain your answer. No, they are common. More than 95 percent of animal species are invertebrates. 3. What is an invertebrate? An invertebrate is an animal that lacks a backbone, or vertebral column. 4. Why do invertebrates not form a clade? They are not a clade because they are defined by the absence of a characteristic. 5. What are some examples of invertebrates? Sea stars, worms, jellyfishes, and insects are invertebrates. 6. Look at the diagram of a chordate. Write the name of the labeled structure on the lines below. a. c. Notochord b. Hollow nerve cord Tail d. Pharyngeal pouches 7. Are all chordates vertebrates? Explain your answer. No, some chordates never develop a backbone. 8. What groups of animals are vertebrates? Vertebrates include fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. 9. Both snakes and earthworms have long, streamlined body shapes, but snakes are vertebrates and earthworms are not. Why are they classified differently despite their similarity in appearance? Animals are classified based on body plans, not similarity of appearance. Earthworms do not have the characteristics of a chordate, so they are considered invertebrates.

Complete the graphic organizer to define three ways that animals maintain homeostasis. Animals Maintain Homeostasis by Gathering and responding to information Obtaining and distributing oxygen and nutrients Collecting and eliminating carbon dioxide and other wastes 11. The diagram on the left below shows the feedback inhibition that maintains temperature in a house. Complete the blank boxes in the diagram on the right below to show how body temperature is maintained in a human being. Thermostat turns furnace off. Thermostat turns furnace on. Sweating cools body. Shivering. Muscle activity generates heat. House gets cold. House gets hot. Body gets cold. Body gets hot. 12. Describe generally how an animal’s nervous and musculoskeletal systems work together to allow it to escape a predator. The animal’s sensory receptors, which are part of the nervous system, sense a predator. Its nervous system then sends signals to the musculoskeletal system to flee. The animal’s muscles work with its skeleton to allow it to move away from the predator. 13. In complex animals, what system collects metabolic wastes and delivers them to the respiratory and excretory systems? the circulatory system 14. In complex animals, which three body systems work together to obtain and distribute oxygen and nutrients? the respiratory, digestive, and circulatory systems Lesson 25.1 • Workbook A • Copyright © by Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates.

The excretory system eliminates ammonia. B. The respiratory system eliminates wastes that contain nitrogen. The excretory system eliminates carbon-based wastes. C. The respiratory system eliminates oxygen and nitrogen. The excretory system eliminates ammonia. D. The respiratory system eliminates ammonia. The excretory system eliminates carbon dioxide. C 23.

A. It increases genetic diversity in a population. B. It produces large numbers of offspring rapidly. C. It increases a species’ ability to evolve. D. It produces offspring that are genetically different from the parents. 25. In what ways do invertebrates differ from vertebrates? Identify at least three groups of invertebrates. SAMPLE ANSWER: Invertebrates have no backbones. They don’t have a nerve cord, a notochord, a tail, or pharyngeal pouches. Invertebrate groups include insects, worms, sea stars, and jellyfishes. 26. Suppose you were studying the cell walls of a multicellular organism under a microscope. Were you studying an animal? Explain your answer. No, it wasn’t an animal, because animal cells have no cell walls. Lesson 25.1 • Workbook A • Copyright © by Pearson Education, Inc., or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. 398
