Allanimalsaremulticellular,euk

aryotic heterotrophs theyhave

multiple cells with mitochondria
and they rely on other organisms
for their nourishment.
Multicellular, which means that
they are made up of more than one
cell. Some members of other

Heterotrophic,

which means they have

to get their own food. Plants are
autotrophic because they make their
own food through photosynthesis.
Because they cannot make their own
food, members of the Animalia
Kingdom mustingest, or eat, other
organisms.
Eukaryotes: this is the type of cells
animals have. Eukaryote cells are more
complex than the simpler prokaryote
cells found in bacteria.

Animals range in size from no more than a

few cells (like the mesozoans) to organisms
weighing many tons (like the blue whale).

Habitat
Most

of the animals
inhabit seas, fewer are
seen in fresh water and
even fewer on land.
The bodies ofmost
animals (all except
sponges) are made up

Reproduction
Most

animals
reproducesexually, by means
ofdifferentiated haploid cells
(eggs and sperm).
Most animals arediploid,
meaning that the cells of
adults contain two copies of
the genetic material.

Name of Animalia kingdom

Kingdom
-All livingorganismsare first placed into
different kingdoms. There are five different
kingdoms to classify life on Earth, which are
Animals, Plants, Fungi, Bacteria, and Protists
(single-celled organisms).
Phylum
-Theanimalkingdom is divided into 40
smaller groups, known as phylum. Here,animals
are grouped by their main features.Animals
usually fall into one of five different phylum
which are Cnidaria (invertebrates), Chordata
(vertebrates), Arthropods, Molluscs and
Echinoderms.

Class
-The phylum group is then divided into even
smaller groups, known as classes. The Chordata
(vertebrates) phylum splits up into Mammalia
(Mammals), Actinopterygii (Bony Fish),
Chondrichthyes (Cartilaginous Fish) , Aves (Birds),
Amphibia (Amphibians) and Reptilia (Reptiles).
Order
-Each class is divided into small groups again,
known as orders. The class Mammalia (Mammals),
splits into different groups including Carnivora,
Primate, Artiodactyla and Rodentia
Family
-In every order, there are different families of
animalswhich all have very similar features. The
Carnivora order breaks into families that include
Felidae (Cats), Canidae (Dogs), Ursidae (Bears),
and Mustelidae (Weasels).

Genus
-Veryanimalfamily is then divided into small
groups known as genus. Each genus contains
animalsthat have very similar features and are
closely related. For example, the Felidae (Cat)
family contains genus including Felis (small
Cats and domestic Cats), Panthera (Tigers,
Leopards, Jaguars and Lions) and Puma
(Panthers and Cougars).
Species
-Each individual species within the genus is
named after it's individual features and
characteristics. The names ofanimalsare in
Latin so that they can be understood
worldwide, and consist of two words. The first
word in the name of ananimalwill be the
genus, and the second name indicates the
specific species.

Vertebrates

They have an internal.

A backbone is present.
A tail is usually present.
Haemoglobin in red blood
cell.
They have two pair of limbs.

Invertebrates

No internal skeleton.
Back bone is not present.
Tail is absent(anus at the tip of
the back end of the body).
Haemoglobin, if present,
dissolved.
They have three or more pairs
of limbs.

Are the animalia Benefial or

Harmful

Many animals are helpful to humans;

many varieties of livestock (cows,
sheep, pigs, goats, poultry) are kept
because they add protein to our diets
in the form of meat, milk products,
and eggs. Fiber bearing animals such
as sheep, llamas, and alpacas
provide raw material for making
clothing. Animals have been our
beasts of burden for many centuries,
carrying loads, pulling plows, and

On the harmful side, some members

of the animal kingdom can harm us
physically (grizzly bears, sharks) or
can carry diseases that we can
catch (mosquitoes, rats and mice).
Some animals damage our houses
by eating the parts that are made of
wood (termites, wood ants,
squirrels and porcupines), and
others consume food that we were
growing or storing for our own
consumption.
