Classification All living things can be put into one of five groups called Kingdoms. The five Kingdoms are: Monerans Protists Fungi Plants Animals Monerans Protists • Have no nucleus (prokaryotic) •Are mostly single celled, but some are many celled organisms • Are single celled organisms •Examples: bacteria, blue green algae •Have a nucleus and organelles (eukaryotic) •Examples: pond water organisms – amoeba, paramecium, volvox Fungi • Are many celled organisms (eukaryotic) • Do not make their own food • Absorb food from their environment • Do not move • Examples: mushrooms, mold, Athlete’s foot. Plants • Have chlorophyll • Make their own food •Are many celled organisms (eukaryotic) •Have cell walls •Examples: ferns, trees, bushes, flowers • Are many celled organisms (eukaryotic) • Do not make their own food • Obtain food by eating • Examples: insects, fish, frogs, birds, worms, and people. All animals can be classified as belonging to one of two groups: Those with Backbones OR Those without Backbones Animals without Backbones are called Invertebrates. There are many different types of Invertebrates: • Sponges • Cnidarians: Anemones, Jellyfish, Corals, and Hydras • Worms: flatworms, roundworms, segmented worms • Mollusks: Snails, Clams and Octopuses • Echinoderms: Starfish and Urchins • Arthropods: Insects, Spiders, Ticks, Lobsters, Crabs, and Crayfish Sponges • Are simple animals: look like plants but are NOT. •Don’t move – stay in one place •Have no Backbone – their body is filled with holes and have spiky fibers as a skeleton. •Food passes through the holes which allows them to catch the food. Cnidarians: Anemones and Jellyfish • Have a soft body surrounded by arm-like parts called tentacles and stinging cells. •All live in water • Feed themselves with their tentacles - The tentacles catch the food. • Have no Backbone • Can be flat, round, or Worms segmented • Flatworms have a flat body • Roundworms have a round body • Segmented worms are divided into small sections • Have no Backbone •Worms can be found in both land and water. • Worms have a circulatory system ( many hearts) and a digestive system – mouth and anus. Mollusks: Snails, Clams and Octopuses • Often have shells, a rough tongue, and a muscular foot. • Have a head, foot and well developed organs • Have no Backbone Echinoderms: Starfish and Urchins • Have a spiny body • Are arranged in a circle, like spokes on a wheel – they have tiny tube feet arranged around a central area. • Live on the bottom of the Ocean • Have no Backbone Arthropods: Insects, Spiders, Lobsters, Crabs and Crayfish • Have a shell like covering called an exoskeleton • Have jointed legs • Have a segmented body •Have no Backbone •As it grows it MOLTS or sheds its exoskeleton. •A lobster is an anthropod! •Largetst group is the insect group! Animals with Backbones are called Vertebrates. There are divided into two groups: Ectotherm and Endotherms. Ectotherms – “cold blooded” Fish Reptiles Amphibians Endotherms – “warm blooded” Birds Mammals There are five groups of Vertebrates: Fish Reptiles Amphibians Birds Mammals Fish • Are cold-blooded (ectotherms) can’t regulate their body temperature. • Have gills (use to breathe) and scales (to protect) • Live in water • Have a Backbone •Shark is a fish NOT a mammal. These are Fish Fish have Backbones Reptiles •Have scales or scaly skin. •Live on land in hot, dry deserts and in warm, wet tropical regions. •Are cold-blooded – ectotherms. •Usually lay eggs on land. •Have a Backbone •Can include animals like crocodiles and alligators, lizards, turtles, and snakes. These are Reptiles Reptiles have Backbones Amphibians – “double life” •Begin life in water and as they become adults – move on land (return to water to reproduce •Are cold blooded – ectotherms •Young amphibians breath through gills, adults use lungs. •Some have smooth, moist skin •Lay eggs •Have a Backbone •Examples are: frogs, toads, and salamanders. These are Amphibians Amphibians have Backbones Birds •Have feathers and light-weight hollow bones that allow for flight •Are warm-blooded: endotherms. This means that they can regulate their bodies. Can live in any temperature. •Lay eggs •Have a Backbone - Birds are the only vertebrates that have wings and are covered in feathers. •Have a heart (four chambered) These are Birds Birds have Backbones Mammals • Have hair or fur •Are warm-blooded: endotherms. •Feed milk to their young •Bear live young •Have a Backbone •Four chambered heart These are Mammals Mammals have Backbones Review Animals without Backbones are called invertebrates: Animals with backbones are called vertebrates: 1. Sponges 1. Fish 2. Anemones and Jellyfish 2. Reptiles 3. Worms 3. Amphibians 4. Snails, Clams and Octopuses 5. Starfish and Urchins 6. Insects, Spiders, Ticks, Lobsters, Crabs, and Crayfish 4. Birds 5. Mammals Continue Sorting Activity •On a separate piece of paper make a chart with two columns. •Label one column Vertebrates and the other Invertebrates. •Put the following items into the correct column in which it belongs: Amphibian, Arachnid, Bee, Bat, Bird, Cat, Clam, Crow, Dog, Fish, Grasshopper, Grass Snake, Horse, Human, Jellyfish, Lobster, Mammal, Rat, Reptile, Snail, Shark, Spotted Turtle, Shrimp, Squid, Spider, Worm Continue Extra Credit: Research Report Write a report on your favorite Vertebrate or Invertebrate. Include the following information: 1. What do I look like? 2. What do I eat? 3. Am I a Vertebrate or Invertebrate? 4. Where do I live? 5. How long do I live? 6. What are the dangers in my life? 7. How do I reproduce? 8.
