Study Notes

Classification of Animals

Young four-legged animal with lungs and scales is classified as a reptile.
Internal fertilization is a characteristic of mammals, birds, and reptiles.
Annelida and arthropoda are closely related phyla in the phylogenetic tree.
Whales possess blowholes for breathing, distinguishing them from fish.

Anatomy and Features

Endoskeleton examples include bones in mammals and calcium-rich plates in echinoderms.
Squid and dolphins share bilateral symmetry and a coelom, unlike jellyfish, which are radially symmetrical.
Mollusks and arthropods are model organisms due to cephalization, unlike sponges and jellyfish.
Fossils like Archaeopteryx provide evidence that birds evolved from dinosaurs through modified scales producing feathers.

Reproductive Adaptations

Mammals uniquely produce milk for their offspring, unlike most other vertebrates.
Amphibians undergo metamorphosis to develop lungs for terrestrial life.

Body Symmetry

Starfish and sea urchins display radial symmetry.
Humans and butterflies exhibit bilateral symmetry.

Body Cavities

Shrimp and fish possess a coelom, while roundworms have a pseudocoelom.
Coelom develops entirely from mesoderm tissue.

Fish Anatomy and Functions

Gills enable fish to breathe underwater.
Fins assist fish with balance, escape, and predation.
Scales offer protection from environmental hazards.

Habitat and Characteristics

All annelids and arthropods share a segmented body plan.
Arthropods are distinguished by their exoskeleton, which is absent in annelids.
Annelid circulatory systems are closed with blood vessels, while arthropods exhibit an open circulatory system with hemocyanin for oxygen transport.
