Animal Classification• To classify animals, we ask the following questions:

3. What is the pattern of development?

Scott circa 2009

4. How do they grow?

4b. Special structure?

5. Is there body symmetry?

6. Is there a body cavity?

1. Are Tissues Present?• What is a tissue?

– A group of cells

– If one or a few cells are removed:• They cannot perform their task

• They will eventually die

Scott circa 2009

• Two major groups– Parazoa
