Simon Why It Matters… Most lineages alive today first appeared during the Cambrian explosion 530 – 520 mya Nearly 2 million living species described in the kingdom Animalia Most are invertebrates Only ~67,000 are vertebrates The evolutionary diversification of animals resulted from their ability to eat and, the ability of most move Russell, Biology: The Dynamic Science, 5th edition. © 2021 Cengage.

Multicellular organisms Cells are eukaryotic without cell walls Specialized tissues and organ systems deliver nutrients and oxygen to cells and carry wastes away in larger animals Heterotrophic – they eat other organisms for energy and nutrients Animals metabolise food through biochemical pathways that use oxygen (aerobic respiration) Russell, Biology: The Dynamic Science, 5th edition. © 2021 Cengage.

Copyright Reserved: Slides prepared by Prof. C. Simon Copilot STUDY BREAK 31.2 The coelom, or body cavity, serves a bunch of important functions. Firstly, it provides a space for internal organs to develop, grow, and move independently of the body wall. Secondly, it acts as a cushion, protecting internal organs from injury. Thirdly, it facilitates the transport of nutrients, gases, and wastes between different parts of the body. Think of it as a multifunctional chamber making life more efficient and flexible. 1. What is a tissue, and what three primary tissue layers are You What types of body present in the embryos of most animals? Which layer is cavities are found in the deuterostomes absent from diploblastic animals? and protostomes? Copilot Deuterostomes and protostomes are like 2. What type of body symmetry do humans have? two different clubs with distinct characteristics when 3. What is the functional significance of the coelom? it comes to body cavities: 4. What does having a segmented body allow some animals to Protostomes typically develop a coelom do? (body cavity) through a process called schizocoely. In this 5. What types of body cavities are found in the deuterostomes process, solid masses of mesoderm split to form the and protostomes? coelom.

Taxonomic hierarchy Highest taxonomic level Most inclusive Parazoa & Eumatazoa Bilateria & Subphylum Radiata Vertebrata Protostomia (Lophotrochozoa & Ecdysozoa) & Deuterostomia Most exclusive Lowest taxonomic level Copyright Reserved: Slides prepared by Prof. C. Simon STUDY BREAK 31.3 1. Which major groupings of animals defined based on morphological characters have been confirmed by molecular sequence studies? Molecular sequence studies have confirmed several major groupings of animals based on morphological characters:1 Parazoa and Eumetazoa: Parazoa includes animals like sponges, while Eumetazoa includes all other animal groups1. Radiata and Bilateria: Radiata includes animals with radial symmetry (e.g., jellyfish), and Bilateria includes animals with bilateral symmetry1. Protostomia and Deuterostomia: These are two major groups within the Bilateria, distinguished by differences in their embryonic development1. These molecular studies have helped refine our understanding of animal phylogeny and evolutionary relationships2. Russell, Biology: The Dynamic Science, 5th edition. © 2021 Cengage.
