The document provides information about different phyla of animals and their characteristics. It begins with an activity where students visit stations to learn about various phyla, including Chordata, Arthropoda, Mollusca, and Porifera. For each phylum, students sketch organisms, record information, and note the type of symmetry. The goal is for students to be able to identify any animal to its phylum.
18. • Placozoa: The simplest animal known.
– Smallest amount on DNA of any animal.
– Made of only a few thousand cells.
• It only has four types of cells compared to our 200
types,
– 3 mm across.
– May have been the first type of animal evolving
from single celled Protists.

22. • Asexual reproduction: A mode of
reproduction by which offspring arise from a
single parent.
23. • Asexual reproduction: A mode of
reproduction by which offspring arise from a
single parent.
– The offspring inherit the genes of that parent
only, it’s reproduction which does not involve
meiosis or fertilization.

201. • The Lophotrochozoa comprise one of the
major groups within the animal kingdom.
– Molluscs and worms
– Belongs to a larger group within the Animalia
called the Bilateria, because they are bilaterally
symmetrical with a left and a right side to their
bodies.

do not even have a backbone.

years (oldest multi-cellular creature)

521. • One theory suggests that land animals
developed when smaller bodies of water
periodically dried up.
– Being able to crawl from one pool to the next
aided in survival.
– This ability was passed on from one
generation to the next.
523. • Another theory
– Lunged gulping fish could to avoid predation in
the aquatic habitats by climbing into the shallows
and then eventually the land.
