Animal Classification

The classification group called family means

A way scientist group similar Genuses together

Vertebrates

Animals with a backbone Ex. Mammals, fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians snake frog bird lion

Invertebrates

Animals without a backbone Part of phylum Arthropoda Ex. Molluscs, porifera (sponges), anthropods, worms, cnidarians (jellyfish), echinoderms (starfish) crab snail butterfly worm

insect

Any of a class of arthropods (such as butterflies, true bugs, two-winged flies, bees, and grasshoppers) with a three-part body clearly divided into head, thorax, and abdomen; three pairs of jointed legs; and usually one or two pairs of wings. - have a single pair of antennae on the head

fish

A cold-blooded vertebrate that lives and breathes in water and typically has long, scaly, tapering body, limbs developed as fins, and a vertical tail fin. The combination of gills, fins and the fact that they live only in the water make fish different from all other animals. Lay eggs in water/ soft shell Cold- blooded Limbs: no limbs just fins Body covering: Scales/ soft skin Breathe: gills Special characteristics: vertebrates, live in water (Whales and dolphins not fish) - some skeletons are made with cartilage

Species

A group of animals that are more like each other than they are like any other group of animals.

arthropods

Have segmented bodies with the segments grouped into two or three distinct sections. The have hard external skeletons, or exoskeletons, that are shed and regenerated as the animals grow. Insects, crustaceans, arachnids (spiders), myripoda - 11 animal classes 1. A segmented body 2. Many jointed legs or limbs 3. An exoskeleton / invertebrates 4. Cold blooded Lay eggs Cold- blooded Limbs: more than 4 Body covering: exoskeleton Breathe: tubes Special characteristics: invertebrates, most fly, segmented body

Domain

The eight level above the kingdom

Classification

The process of sorting through all the species to organize them by similar properties or characteristics. Is the way in which all living things are placed into larger and larger groups or categories that share similarities and a common ancestry. A systematic arrangement in groups.

How many major levels of classification are there? What are they?

There are 7 major levels if classification. Domain: Eukarya —> Dear Kingdom: Animalia —> King Phylum: Chordata—> Phillip Class: Mammalia —> Come Order: Primates—> Out Family: Hominidae —> For Genus: Homo—> Goodness Species: Homo sapiens—> sake Mnemonic: Dear King Phillip, Come Out For Goodness Sake!

cold-blooded

They become hotter and colder, depending on the temperature outside. Ex. Reptiles, amphibians, and fish

warm-blooded

They can make their own body heat even when it is cold outside. Ex. Mammals and birds Elephant, dog, people, eagle
