    SCIENCE YEAR 4 (19.05.2021) Vertebrates and Invertebrates: Animals

    Uploaded by

    Aten Kenanga
    The document discusses the classification of vertebrates and invertebrates. It defines vertebrates as animals with backbones and invertebrates as animals without backbones. Vertebrates are then classified into five classes - mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fish - based on their habitat, body covering, reproductive method, breathing organ, and body temperature. Examples of vertebrates from each class are provided. Invertebrates are defined as not having skeletal bones and instead having either an exoskeleton or hydrostatic skeleton for body support. Examples of invertebrates from different phyla are also listed.

    VERTEBRATES AND INVERTEBRATES

    1. Animals can be grouped according to the similarities in their characteristics and


    structures.
    2. General characteristics of animals:
    a) Reproductive method : Gives birth or lay eggs
    b) Eating Habit : Herbivore, carnivore or omnivore
    c) Habitat: Lives on land, lives in water or live in water and on land.
    d) Parts of body: Has legs, wings, shell and a tail.
    3. Animals can be classified into two groups which are:

    Animals

    Vertebrates Invertebrates
    - animals with backbones - animals without backbones

    INVERTEBRATES

    1. Invertebrates do not have skeletal bones, instead they have body support system
    2. There are two support system of invertebrates:

    Support System of
    Invertebrates

    Exoskeleton Hydrostatic
    - hard shells Skeletons

    Examples:
    Examples: Crab,
    Earthworms,
    prawns, grasshoppers
    Caterpillars and
    and cockroaches
    Planarians.

    3. Most microorganisms are invertebrates such as Protozoan (Paramecium and Amoeba)


    4. Invertebrates form a very large group of animals. Some of them live in water and some
    live on land.
    5. Some invertebrates have many legs whereas some do not have legs.
    6. Examples of invertebrates :
    a) Ant
    b) Worm
    c) Snail
    d) Starfish
    e) Jellyfish
    f) Squid
    g) Spider
