Monerans • Have no nucleus

• Are single celled organisms

Protists•Are mostly single celled, but some are simple many celled organisms

•Have a nucleus and organelles

Fungi• Are many celled organisms

• Do not make their own food

• Absorb food from their environment

Plants• Have chlorophyll

• Make their own food

•Are many celled organisms

•Have cell walls

• Are many celled organisms

• Do not make their own food

• Obtain food by eating

All animals can be classified All animals can be classified as belonging to one of two as belonging to one of two groups: groups:

Those with Backbones

Those without Backbones

OR

Animals

without Backbones

are called

Invertebrates.

There are many There are many different types of different types of

Invertebrates:Invertebrates:•Sponges

•Anemones and Jellyfish

•Worms

•Snails, Clams and Octopuses

•Starfish and Urchins

•Insects, Spiders, Ticks, Lobsters,

Crabs, and Crayfish

Sponges• Are simple

animals

• Have only two cell layers

• Have no Backbone

Anemones and Jellyfish• Have tentacles and stinging cells

• All live in water

• Feed themselves with their tentacles

• Have no Backbone

Worms• Can be flat,

round, or segmented

• Flatworms have a flat body

• Roundworms have a round body

• Segmented worms are divided into small sections

• Have no Backbone

Snails, Clams and Octopuses

• Often have shells

• Have a head, foot and well developed organs

• Have no Backbone

Starfish and Urchins

• Have a spiny body

• Are arranged in a circle, like spokes on a wheel

• Live on the bottom of the Ocean

• Have no Backbone

Insects, Spiders, Lobsters, Crabs and Crayfish

• Have a shell like covering called an exoskeleton

• Have jointed legs

• Have a segmented body

•Have no Backbone

Animals

with Backbones

are called

Vertebrates.

There are five groups of There are five groups of Vertebrates:Vertebrates:

Fish

Amphibians

Birds

Mammals

Reptiles

• Are cold-blooded

• Have gills and scales

• Live in water

• Have a Backbone

These are FishThese are Fish

These are Birds

Birds have Backbones

Mammals• Have hair or fur

•Are warm-blooded

•Feed milk to their young

•Bear live young (except monotremes)

•Have a Backbone

These are Mammals

Mammals have Backbones

Review• Animals with backbones are called vertebrates:

• Animals without Backbones are called invertebrates:
