NC SCOS 4.01:
• Analyze the classification of organisms
according to their evolutionary relationships:
▫ The historical development and changing nature
of classification systems.
▫ Similarities and differences between eukaryotic
and prokaryotic organisms.
▫ Similarities and differences among the eukaryotic
kingdoms: Protists, Fungi, Plants, and animals.
▫ Classify organisms.
NC SCOS 4.02:
• Analyze the processes by which organisms
representative of the following groups
accomplish essential life functions including:
▫ unicellular protists, annelid worms, insects,
amphibians, mammals, non-vascular plants,
gymnosperms, and angiosperms
▫ transport, excretion, respiration, regulation,
nutrition, synthesis, reproduction, and growth and
development.

What is an animal?
• Four key characteristics:
▫
▫
▫
▫
Eukaryotic
Lack cell walls
Multicellular
Heterotrophs that ingest food.
Invertebrates vs. Vertebrates
• Invertebrates: animals without backbones
▫ 95% of animals
▫ Most live in aquatic or moist terrestrial habitats
▫ i.e. sea stars, jellyfish, snails, clams, insects, and
worms
• Vertebrates: animals with backbones
▫ Mainly terrestrial, but also live in marine and
freshwater habitats
▫ i.e. fishes, frogs, snakes, dogs, humans
Animal Life Cycle
• Adult male and female animals produce haploid
gametes by meiosis
• Fertilization: an egg and a sperm fuse to form
a diploid zygote
• Zygote undergoes mitosis
• Zygote  embryo  fetus
Animal Life Cycle (continued)
• Many animals then develop directly into adults
• Others (i.e. sea star) go through 1+ larval stages
▫ Larva: immature form of an animal that looks
different from the adult forms and usually eats
different food
▫ Larva undergoes metamorphosis to become an
adult
Invertebrate Animals
Focusing on select Phyla.
Important Terminology
• Closed Circulatory System: blood remains
contained within vessels
• Open Circulatory System: blood vessels
open into chambers where the organs are bathed
directly in blood
Phylum Annelids
• Round body
• Segmented
worms
• Closed
circulatory
system
Phylum Arthropoda (Arthropods)
• Segmented bodies
• Jointed appendages
• Exoskeleton- hard external
skeleton made of protein and
chitin
▫ As it grows, it sheds its
exoskeleton and secretes a
new one (molting)
• Open circulatory system
• i.e. insects, crustaceans,
spiders
Vertebrate Animals—Phylum
Chordata
* Focusing on select classes
Fishes—3 classes:
• Class Agnatha- jawless fishes
▫
▫
▫
▫
i.e. hagfish, lamprey
Cartilage skeleton
No paired fins
No scales
• Class Chondricthyes- sharks, skates, and rays
• Class Osteichthyes- bony fishes
▫ Swim bladder- control depth, 2nd respiratory
organ
General Characteristics of Fishes
•
•
•
•
•
•
Aquatic
Sexual reproduction
2-chambered heart
Gills
Ectotherm: cold-blooded
External fertilization
Class Amphibia
• Metamorphosis: tadpole
 frog
▫ Larval stage (tadpoles)
lives in water, while
adult stage lives on land
• Respiration: Gills as
larva, lungs & moist skin
in adults
• Sexual reproduction
• 3-chambered heart
• i.e. frogs, salamander,
caecilians (legless &
blind)
Class Reptilia
• amniotic egg (waterproof egg
with a shell), internal
fertilization, and water-tight
skin
• Most lay eggs, though some
give birth to live young
• Ectotherms: main source of
body heat is external
environment
• Scaly skin
• i.e. turtles, lizards, snakes,
crocodiles, alligators
Class Aves  Birds
•
•
•
•
Hollow bones
Feathers
Endotherms: warm-blooded
Gizzards: muscular organ that
grinds seeds and other foods
• 4-chambered heart
• Sexual reproduction
• Evolved from Theropod
dinosaur
Class Mammalia
• Endotherms
• Mammary glands:
produce milk in female
mammals
• Hair or fur
• Lungs
• Sexual reproduction
• 4-chambered heart
• i.e. deer, wolves,
elephants, giraffes, tigers,
dogs, cats, humans
