Identify the features that distinguish animals from organisms in other multicellular kingdoms. Choose all that apply There are no cell walls in animal cells Animals undergo gastrulation in embryo formation++ All animals are motile Animals are ingestive heterotrophs

Imagine you come across a flatworm. Determine whether it is a Cestode or Turbellarian? Give two distinct differences between the two without naming the same structure/invisible features of each animal (e.g animal x has 2 wings, animal y has 4 wings are not distinct differences)

Give an overview of the different characteristics of the major animal phyla using the table below (1-3 sentence per box only)

Lab 10: Kingdom Animalia Introduction Animals all share some characteristics: 1) Multicellular 2) Heterotrophic 3) Their cells have no cell wall 4) At some time in their life they are motile. There are many phyla within the animal Kingdom, and in this activity, you will explore these phyla by building a dichotomous key that will allow you to consider almost any animal and determine which phylum it belongs to. Part 1: Organizing information for the dichotomous key 1) List the 9 animal phyla of macroscopic (visible) animals: Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Nemotoda, Annelida, Arthropoda, Mollusca, Echinodermata, and Chordata. 2) Use on-line or library resources of your choice, to gather information about these 9 phyla. a. Start by finding two example species per phylum to help tie into your previous knowledge about animal types. Write down these examples. b. Make a list of characteristics that you could use that would help you tell these 9 phyla apart. The final goal is to build a…
