3. ~ Characteristics ~
Have a nervous system to respond to their
environment
Locomotion relates to ability to obtain food
Most animals develop from a zygote
becoming a
A single layer of cells surrounding a fluid-
filled space forming a hollow ball of cells
called a gastrula.
4. ~ Body Plans ~
Animals that are
irregular in shape are
asymmetrical.
Animals that are
regular in shape are
symmetrical.
5. ~ Body Plans ~
An animal has radial symmetry if it
can be divided along any plane,
through a central axis, into equal
halves.
An animal has bilateral symmetry if
it can be divided down its length
into similar right and left halves
forming mirror images of each other.
7. ~ Protection and Support ~
Though not all animals have a skeleton,
those that do can be divided into two
groups:
– Those with an exoskeleton – a hard,
waxy coating on the outside of the body
that protects internal organs, provides a
framework for support, and a place for
muscle attachment.
– Those with an endoskeleton – support
framework within the body that protects
some organs and a brace for muscles to
pull against.
