Organs and Structures of Plants and Animals Day 2

​​Organs and Structures of Plants and Animals
Day 2 - NOTES

​​SC.5.L.14.2: Compare and contrast the function of organs and other physical structures of plants and animals, including humans, for example: some animals have skeletons for support—some with internal skeletons, others with exoskeletons—while some plants have stems for support.

​​TODAY’S TARGET: Classify animals into major groups (mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, arthropods, vertebrates and invertebrates, those having live births and those which lay eggs) according to their physical characteristics and behaviors.

​Classification of Living Things

​​I. ​An organism is any living thing.

• Some living things have one cell (Bacteria)

• Some living things have many cells (Plants and Animals)

Multiple Choice

Living things that have only one cell are ___________.

• plants

• animals

• bacteria

• both plants and animals

​​II. ​Organisms with many cells can be classified as plants, animals, and several other categories.

• ​Plants are organisms able to make their own food from sunlight, water, and air.

  • PRODUCERS

• Animals are organisms than cannot produce their own food.

  • CONSUMERS

Multiple Choice

Living things that eat other living things are called...

• Consumers

• Carnivores

• Omnivores

• Animals

Multiple Choice

A decomposer?

• Eats dead plants or animals and breaks down to put nutrients in the soil

• Eats plants or other animals for food

• Makes its own food

Multiple Choice

Why are plants called producers?

• They make carbon dioxide

• Invertebrates are smaller than vertebrates.

Multiple Choice

Which group does it belong to?

• invertebrate

• vertebrate

Multiple Choice

Which group does it belong to?

• vertebrate

• invertebrate

Multiple Choice

Which group does it belong to?

• vertebrate

• invertebrate

Multiple Choice

Are these animals vertebrates or invertebrates?

• vertebrates

• invertebrates

​IV. ​Animals can be also classified into major groups: mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and arthropods.

​GROUP	​Vertebrate / Invertebrate	​Birth	​Breathing	​Outer Covering	​Life Cycle
​Mammals	​Vertebrate	​Live	​Lungs	​Skin and Hair/Fur	​Birth-young-adult
​Birds	​Vertebrate	​Eggs	​Lungs	​Feathers	​​Birth-young-adult
​Reptiles	​Vertebrate	​Eggs	​Lungs	​Scales	​​Birth-young-adult
​Amphibians	​Vertebrate	​Eggs	​Gills/Skin	​Skin	​Incomplete Metamorphosis
​Fish	​Vertebrate	​Eggs	​Gills	​Scales	​Birth-young-adult
​Arthropod	​Invertebrate	​Eggs	​Gills/Lungs	​Exoskeleton	​Some: Incomplete Metamorphosis Some: Complete Metamorphosis

​Group	​Examples
​mammals	​humans, cats, dogs, horses, squirrels
​birds	​egrets, ibis, eagle, hawks
​reptiles	​alligators, lizards, turtles, snakes
​amphibians	​frog, toad, salamander
​fish	​bass, trout, salmon, shark, stingray
​arthropod	​crab, lobster, spider, insects

Multiple Choice
