Kingdom Animalia

This kingdom has many different phyla but we are going to go indepth with Cnidaria, Arthorpod, Annelida,Mollusca, Echinderm, and Chordata.

Let's get onething straight. Ha Ha get it?

You need to know the difference between invertbrate animals and vertbrate animals. Be ready to explain what you see here!

Open Ended

On the previous slide there was a worm and star fish grouped as an invertebrate and a fish and a snake grouped under verbrate. Please explain what makes an organism fit into the invertbrate group and what makes an organism fit into the vertbrate group.

Vertebrates

• Less than 5% of all described animals

• An animal of a large group distinguished by the possession of a backbone or spinal column, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fishes

Chroadata

• Noral or spinal chord

• Segmented body, including segmented muscles

• Bilateral symmetry

• Bony or cartilaginous endoskeleton usually present

Multiple Choice
