THREE GROUPS (HETEROTROPHS)

 Carnivores
 Omnivores
 Herbivores
A. INVERTEBRATES
PHYLUM PLATYHELMINTHES
 very commonly known as flatworms or tapeworms, these
animals are soft-bodied invertebrate animals.
 The main characteristic that separates invertebrates from

other organisms is the absence of the spinal column and
backbone.
 They are multicelluar organisms, they completely lack cell
walls.
 They are devoid hard bony endoskeleton.
 Due to the lack of complex skeletal systems, some
invertebrates tend to be slow and small in nature.
PHYLUM NEMATODA
 Due to the lack of the backbone and complex nervous system
the invertebrates cannot occupy mulitple environments,
 They are a diverse animal phylum inhabiting a broad
though they are found in the harshest of the environments range of environments.
EIGHT MAJOR PHYLA OF INVERTEBRATES
PHYLUM MOLLUSCA
 Mollusca is the second largest phylum of invertebrate
animals.
 The members are known as molluscs or mollusks
PHYLUM PORIFERA
 comprises the sponges.
 Sponges are simple invertebrate animals that live in
 Most vertebrates possess guts with a non-terminal anus.
PHYLUM ANNELIDA
 The annelids, also known as the ringed worms or
segmented worms, are a large phylum, with over 22,000
extant species including ragworms, earthworms, and
PHYLUM CHORDATA
leeches.
 A chordate is an animal constituting the phylum Chordata.
 During some period of their life cycle, chordates possess a
notochord, a dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, an
endostyle, and a post-anal tail: these five anatomical
features define this phylum.
CLASSES OF CHORDATA
PHYLUM ECHINODERMATA
 Echinoderm is the common name given to any member
of the phylum Echinodermata of marine animals.
AGNATHA
 Agnatha is a superclass of jawless fish in the phylum
Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, consisting of both
present and extinct species.
PHYLUM ARTHROPODA
 An arthropod is an invertebrate animal having an
exoskeleton, a segmented body, and paired jointed
appendages
VERTEBRATES
CHONDRICHTHYES
 is a class that contains the cartilaginous fishes: they are
jawed vertebrates with paired fins, paired nares, scales, a
heart with its chambers in series, and skeletons made of
cartilage rather than bone.
 Vertebrates have a well developed brain.

 Brain is set inside a bony box, known as cranium.
 Notochord is present in all chordates during sometime
of development, it is formed on the dorsal side of the
primitive gut in the early embryo stage.
REPTILIA
 Reptiles are tetrapod animals in the class Reptilia,
comprising today's turtles, crocodilians, snakes,
amphisbaenians, lizards, tuatara, and their extinct
relatives.
AVES
 are a group of endothermic vertebrates, characterised by
feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled
eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a
OSTEICHTHYES strong yet lightweight skeleton.
 popularly referred to as the bony fish, is a diverse
taxonomic group of fish that have skeletons primarily
composed of bone tissue, as opposed to cartilage
MAMMALIA
 Mammals are vertebrate animals constituting the class
Mammalia, and characterized by the presence of
mammary glands which in females produce milk for
feeding their young, a neocortex, fur or hair, and three
middle ear bones.
AMPHIBIA
 refers to "double life", or life in water and on land.
 Includes the salamanders, frogs, toads,
and caecilians with approximately 3,900 spp.
 Characterized by: Being tetrapods (4 limbs) that
facilitate moving about on land - these limbs evolved
from the pectoral and pelvic fins.
