Animals

•Multi-cellular organisms that cannot make their own food, but have to ingest other organisms•Do not have a cell wall but a skeletal

structure that aids in movement and support•2 types: Invertebrates & Vertebrates

Invertebrates• Lack backbones and live on hard rocky

surfaces and can only move around in teen juvenile, larvae stages• Examples: insects, squid, corals, worms,

mollusks (clams, & oysters)• External skeletons that help keeps them

hydrated in dry weather•Move and reproduce quickly• Reproduce by laying of eggs

Vertebrates

•Have a backbones and can live in the air, water or land surfaces • Examples: frogs, fish, salamanders,

snakes, humans, and dogs• 2 categories-means of birthing• Cold blooded & warm blooded

COLD BLOODEDCOLD BLOODED•Animals that have female and male

reproductive organs but do not have “live” births•Male- penis; dispense sperms onto eggs• Female-ovaries & vagina that lay the

eggs• Examples: fish, frogs and birds

Warm Blooded• Animals that have female and male

reproductive organs but do have “live” births•Mating occurs with intercourse to produce a

fetus that is later birth and comes of breathing immediately• Examples: humans, cows, whales, and rats•Mammals- posses hair, mammary glands

(breast) to feed their young

Commensalism—A relationship where one species obtains food or shelter from the other species. Does not harm or help the other species.

Commensalism

Example- Tiny mites living on human eyebrows
