Kingdom Animalia

1. KINGDOM ANIMALIA

2. multicellular,mithochondrial
heterotrophs—they have
multicellular cells with
mithochondria and they rely on
other organisms for their
noutishment
•Most animals ingest their food and
then digest in some kind of internal

3. ANIMAL SPECIES
•Somewhere around 9-10
million species of animals
inhabits the earth
•About 800,000 species are
identified.

4. ANIMAL
REPRODUCTION
•Most animals reproduce sexually, by
means of differentiated haploid
cells(eggs and sperm)
•Mosy animals are diploid,meaning that
the cells of adults contain two copies of
the genetic material.

5. CHARACTERISTICS
•They are heterotrophic and multicellular
•They all vary in size
• Compose of 9 phyla
•2 classifications
—Invertebrates:without backbone
—Vertebrates:with backbone

6. PHYLUM
PORIFERA
•Also known as SPONGES
•Have PORES or HOLES in their bodies and a
single large opening called OSCULUM
•Filter feeders
•Has two layers of cell
Epidermal cell
Collar cell

7. PHYLUM CNIDARIA
•Hollow,tube-like bodies
•Presence of nematocyst
•Bodies are conmposed of two layers of
tissue:epidermis and gastrodermis
•Food is ingested and expelled through the
gastrovascular cavity

8. PHYLUM
PLATYHELMINTHES
•Commonly known as flatworms
•Flat bodies
•They posses only a hollow sac
with single opening for food
and waste excretion

9. PHYLUM NEMATODA
•Commonly known as
roundworms
•Round bodies covered with
cuticle
•Ascaris and bookworms are

10. PHYLUM ANNELIDA
•Characterized by ring like body
parts
•Have similar segments
throughout their bodies
•Presence of mouth and anus

11. PHYLUM MOLLUSCA
•Have softt bodies
but they have
hard protective
shells as outer
body covering
•Mussels,clams,an
d oyster are

12. PHYLUM
ARTHROPODA
•Most diverse of all the phyla
•Exhibiths CEPHALIZATION
•Well developed nervous system(brain,and nerve
cord
•Have segmented bodies
•Body is divided into 3 segments (head,thorax and
abdomen)

13. PHYLUM
ECHINODERMATA
•Has a tube feet of canals
•For sucking in seawater to
obtainnutrients and for
expelling wastes.

14. PHYLUM CHORDATA
•Three distinguishing structures:
—Notochord
—Skull
—Vertebral column or backbone

15. IMPORTANCE OF
KINGDOM ANIMALIA

16. ECOLOGICAL
IMPORTANCE
•Every life form an important role in the ecological
balance of the earth. For example, carnivores are a
natural way of controlling population of herbivores
in forests and grasslands. If there were no
carnivores, then the population of these herbivores
would grow so much they could clear considerable
area of forests and grasslands in their bid to feed
themselves

17. ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE
•The silkworm belongs to the phylum arthropoda of
the animal kingdom. Silk from silkworm (and also
artificial fibers in some cases) support the silk
industry which has an annual commercial value of
$200-$500 million. The dairy industry, wool industry,
leather and tanning industry and the fishing industry
are some sectors that not only provide employment
to millions but also fulfill a number of needs of
human beings.

18. NUTRITIONAL
IMPORTANCE
•Meat is an important source of
proteins, which are the building blocks
of our body.Milk from cow is an
important source of proteins,
carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and
minerals like calcium, potassium,
potassium and magnesium.

19. POLLINATORS AND FOOD
CROPS
•According to a news published by the
University of California, Berkeley, bees, bats
and birds are important pollinators that are
responsible for the pollination of around 35
percent of crops that feed the entire human
population. Without these pollinators, the
human race would run into an acute food
shortage.
