Transcript of Animal Kingdoms

Kingdom Phylum Class Order Genus Species

All living creatures belong to one of five Kingdoms: Animals, plants, fungi, protistsand monerans. The protists and monerans(which includes bacteria) are micro-organisms, one celled individuals that can live in colonies, like yogurt. Animals, plants and fungi are macro-organisms and grow bodies.

Of the Animal Kingdom, there are 2 important distinctions: Invertebrates and Vertebrates. Vertebrates (Chordata), with a backbone, is considered one type of Phylum, where there are 14 different Phylums for the Invertebrates. All living things are given a scientific name from 2 words (in Greek or Latin). The first is the Genus and the second the Species.

Humans are : homo sapiens

Dogs are: canis familiaris

Cats are: felis domesticus

Animal Kingdom Overview

InvertebratesSponges (Porifera)

Cnidarians (Jellyfish,

Corals)

Mollusks (Clams, snails,

squids)

Echinoderms (Star Fish)

Annelida (Polychaetes)

Anthropods(Crustaceans-crabs, Arachnids-spiders,

Insects-bugs, Merostomata-

horseshoe crab)

Vertebrates (Chordates)

Birds (Seagulls, Pelicans)

Amphibians (Frog, toad)

Reptiles (Turtle, snake, lizards)

Fish (Bony fish, Sharks, Seahorses)

Mammals (Whales ,dolphins,

squirrels, mice, humans

Invertebrates

Mollusks

Gastropods

Snails

Bi Valves

Giant Clam

Cephalopoda

SquidsOctopus

(Squidward)

Mollusks are known for their hard shells. Some have evolved a more advanced defense like the Cephalopoda. Squidward is actually an octopus (with only 6 legs). They are more solitary creatures then squids.

Questions

• Plankton is not really the name of a plant or animal. It’s more of a category for any drifting organism that inhabits the Upper levels of the ocean (the Pelagic zone). Plankton is divided into 3 main types:

• 1) Phytoplankton (from Greek phyton or plant), algae that live near the water surface where there is light for photosynthesis

• 2) Zooplankton (from Greek zoo or animal), small protozoa, crustaceans, jellyfish and and other animals that feed on plankton. Some eggs and larvae of larger animals (like fish, crustaceans and annelids are included here).

• 3) Bacterioplankton, bacteria and archaea, which help in absorbing nutrients dissolved in the water.

What is Plankton?

Questions

• The author of the script says he wanted Bob to be a neat and cornered like a sink sponge. A sink sponge is made out of cellulose which would mean that he is from the Plant Kingdom.

What type of sponge is SpongeBob?
