Study Notes
Animal Classifications
- Four animal classifications: Cold-blooded, Warm-blooded, Vertebrates, Invertebrates
- Cold-blooded animals are also known as ectotherms.
- Warm-blooded animals are also known as endotherms.
- Animals active during the day are diurnal, animals active during the night are nocturnal, and animals active during dusk to dawn are crepuscular.
- Animals with backbone are vertebrates, animals without backbone are invertebrates.
Benefits of Vertebrates and Invertebrates
- Vertebrates benefit from having a strong internal structure, which provides support and allows for movement and protection for internal organs.
- Invertebrates benefit from being able to adapt to various environments due to their small size and diverse body structures.
Adaptation and Evolution
- Adaptation is the process by which an organism changes in response to its environment to survive and thrive.
-
Examples of adaptation:
- Polar bear: Thick fur and blubber to survive in cold Arctic climates
- Desert fox: Large ears to lose heat in hot desert environments
- Camel: Can store water in its hump to survive in arid environments
- Evolution is the gradual change in the genetic makeup of a species over generations.
- Evolution occurs as species adapt to changes in their environment and compete for resources.
