Vertebrates
This document divides animals into two main groups: vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates have backbones and include fish, mammals, and birds, while invertebrates like spiders and flies do not have backbones. It then provides more details about characteristics of different types of vertebrates, including that warm-blooded vertebrates regulate their own body temperature while cold-blooded vertebrates depend on the environment, and lists examples of classes of vertebrates such as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
Vertebrates
This document summarizes the five main groups of vertebrates: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. It provides details on the key characteristics of each group, such as fish having fins and scales, amphibians being able to live on land and in water and having gills or lungs, reptiles having scales and laying eggs, birds having feathers and wings for flying, and mammals having hair/fur and feeding their young with mammary glands. Examples of common types within each group are also listed, such as bony fish vs. cartilaginous fish, frogs vs. salamanders, turtles vs. lizards vs. snakes vs. crocodiles, and placental
Invertebrate animals
1. Invertebrates are animals without backbones and include sponges, cnidarians, worms, molluscs, arthropods, and echinoderms.
2. Sponges are aquatic animals that live attached to surfaces and filter feed. Cnidarians include jellyfish and corals and have tentacles to catch prey.
3. Worms are soft-bodied and elongated and include flatworms, nematodes, and segmented annelids.
Invertebrates class ppt
Scientists classify animals into groups based on similarities to make the large number of species more organized. Vertebrates have backbones while invertebrates do not, and major invertebrate groups include jellyfish, flatworms, roundworms, segmented worms, mollusks, starfish, sea urchins, and arthropods such as crustaceans, insects, spiders, and centipedes/millipedes. Arthropods can be further divided based on traits like number of body segments, legs, and wings.
Life cycles of some animals
The document describes the life cycles of several animals including eagles, butterflies, frogs, and mammals. Eagles lay eggs which hatch into eaglets. Butterflies go through stages of an egg, larva/caterpillar, pupa, and finally an adult butterfly. Frogs undergo metamorphosis from eggs to tadpoles to adult frogs. Young mammals like bobcats develop from eggs inside their mother's body and are born as kittens, growing into adults.
Characteristics of terrestrial plants
Terrestrial plants grow on or from land and come in a variety of sizes and shapes. They grow in different environments like soil, rocks, or clinging to fences. Their structures are suited to the conditions in their habitats, like forest plants growing tall. Leaves and other structures help plants adapt to sunlight, water storage, and their habitat. Roots also vary in size and shape depending on their function.
Animals classification
This document classifies animals according to their structure, diet, and reproduction. It divides animals into invertebrates without backbones and vertebrates with backbones. Invertebrates include arthropods, worms, mollusks, sponges, and echinoderms. Vertebrates include mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians. Mammals are viviparous and nourish their young with milk. Birds lay eggs but are otherwise diverse. Fish primarily reproduce through laying eggs while reptiles can be either viviparous or oviparous. Amphibians undergo metamorphosis from aquatic young to terrestrial adults.
Vertebrates
Vertebrates are animals with backbones. There are five main types of vertebrates: mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and amphibians. Each group has distinct characteristics - mammals have hair and feed their young milk, birds have feathers and lay eggs, reptiles have scales and lay eggs on land, fish breathe through gills and live entirely in water, and amphibians have smooth skin and lay eggs in water. Humans are mammals.

Humans are mammals.
The reptile
Reptiles have scales that retain moisture and lay amniotic eggs adapted for land. They live in varied habitats except very cold areas as they are ectothermic. All reptiles share scaly skin, claws, lungs, and lay amniotic eggs. Adaptations like strong skeletons and claws allow movement on land while highly developed vision aids predation and predator avoidance. Ectothermy limits habitats but basking and shade-seeking regulate temperature. Lungs and partially divided hearts aid gas exchange. Reproduction is usually oviparous but some are ovoviviparous, protecting eggs inside females.
Parts of the plants and their functions
The document discusses the main parts and functions of plants. It explains that most plants have three main parts: roots, stems, and leaves. The roots hold the plant in the soil and absorb water and minerals. The stem carries water and minerals from the roots to the leaves, supports the plant, and can be thick like a tree trunk, thin like a bush, or soft like grass. The leaves make food for the plant using sunlight, air, and water. Flowers are the reproductive part where seeds form, and fruit protects the seeds so new plants can grow.
Powerpoint asexual reproduction in plants
Asexual reproduction in plants allows for rapid colonization without variation, while sexual reproduction introduces variation but requires two parents and can result in harmful mutations. Asexual reproduction in plants occurs through stolons, runners, spores, tubers, bulbs, and grafts. Tubers like potatoes and bulbs like onions are modified plant structures that store nutrients, allow the plant to survive winter, and produce new genetically identical plants.

Vertebrates
The document classifies vertebrate animals into five main groups - fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals - based on their characteristics. Fishes live in water, have scales and fins, and breathe through gills. Amphibians can live both on land and in water, starting aquatic as juveniles. Reptiles are scaly animals that lay hard-shelled eggs on land. Birds are the only animals with feathers and have lungs. Mammals are the only animals that feed their young with milk from mammary glands and give live birth.
Invertebrates
This document summarizes 8 major groups of invertebrates:
1) Arthropoda - includes insects, arachnids, crustaceans; have jointed legs and external skeleton.
2) Echinodermata - have spiny skin and radial symmetry.
3) Mollusca - have soft, shapeless bodies.
4) Annelida - are segmented worms found in water and soil.
5) Nematoda - are roundworms, some of which are parasitic.
6) Platyhelminthes - are flatworms, some of which are parasites without digestive systems.
7) Porifera - have pores all over their bodies to take
Invertebrates
The document discusses various types of invertebrate animals. It describes their characteristics such as lacking backbones, having exoskeletons, tentacles, shells, legs or segments. Some examples provided include sponges, jellyfish, worms, snails, insects and arachnids such as spiders. Invertebrates make up 97% of the animal kingdom and live in a variety of environments on land and in water.

This document divides animals into two main groups: vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates have backbones and include fish, mammals, and birds, while invertebrates like spiders and flies do not have backbones. It then discusses characteristics of different types of vertebrates, including cold-blooded vertebrates like fish that rely on external temperatures, warm-blooded vertebrates like mammals and birds that regulate their own body heat, and the main classes of vertebrates such as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
Flowering plants
This document discusses the key characteristics of flowering plants. Flowering plants, or angiosperms, are defined as plants that produce flowers. They are divided into two main classes - monocots and dicots - based on whether they have one cotyledon or two. Monocots have a single cotyledon while dicots have two. Flowering plants are also distinguished by their production of flowers, which contain male or female reproductive parts, and their production of fruits, which enclose the seeds.
Reproduction In Flowering Plants
The document summarizes the sexual reproductive structures and processes in flowering plants. It describes the pistil and stamen as the female and male reproductive organs containing ovules/eggs and pollen, respectively. Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma, which can be done by wind, insects, or animals. Fertilization occurs when a pollen grain grows a tube to deliver sperm to an ovule, fusing with the egg to form a zygote that develops into a seed containing an embryo plant. Self and cross pollination are discussed, with cross pollination creating more genetic variation.

Characteristics of invertebrate animals
The document describes the distinguishing characteristics of different phyla, including porifera, cnidaria, platyhelminthes, annelids, mollusks, nematodes, arthropods, and echinoderms. It also provides a classification key to identify the class of different arthropods based on their number of legs.
Reptiles ppt
Reptiles are cold-blooded animals that can survive on land and in water. There are four main groups of reptiles: crocodiles, lizards, turtles, and snakes. Crocodiles are found in tropical environments and can stay underwater for over an hour. Lizards come in many varieties and shed their skin as they grow. Turtles have a hard shell and can retract their head inside. Snakes shed their skin several times per year as they grow and are carnivorous.
Classification of the animal kingdom
This document discusses the classification of animals into the animal kingdom. It explains that classification is the grouping of organisms according to similar characteristics. The animal kingdom is divided into two main groups - vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates have backbones, while invertebrates do not. Some key animal groups are then described, including their defining characteristics and examples.
Plant adaptations
Plants have developed various structural and behavioral adaptations to survive in different environments. Structural adaptations include thorns for protection, brightly colored fruits to attract animals for reproduction, and waxy coatings to reduce water loss in dry climates. Behavioral adaptations comprise plants leaning toward sunlight, vines climbing trees, and desert flowers blooming only after rain. Adaptations are seen in plant roots that absorb water and nutrients, leaves that photosynthesize or reduce water loss, and seeds designed for wind or animal dispersal. These adaptations allow plants to thrive in environments like deserts, grasslands, forests, and bodies of water.
Sexual reproduction in plants ppt
Flowers contain reproductive organs called stamens and carpels. Stamens contain pollen and carpels contain ovaries with egg cells. Flowers can be unisexual with only stamens or carpels, or bisexual with both. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from stamen to carpel, allowing the male gamete in pollen to fuse with the female gamete in the ovule through a pollen tube. This fertilization produces a seed containing an embryo inside the ovary, which develops into a fruit.
Amphibians and reptiles
Amphibians live both on land and in water, having thin skin that allows absorption of water and oxygen. They go through a metamorphosis where larvae with gills transform into adults with lungs on land. While amphibians were the first to move onto land, reptiles later evolved with thicker scaly skin and shells for their eggs, allowing full adaptation to life on land.
Vertebrates and invertebrates
Vertebrates are animals with backbones and include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Invertebrates lack backbones and make up over 98% of animal species, including sponges, jellyfish, worms, starfish, insects, and others. Vertebrates have evolved to live on land and in air and water, while invertebrates mainly live in water and on land without mobility. The document then provides more details on characteristics of different vertebrate and invertebrate groups.

It also discusses how animals have adapted to live in different habitats like land, water, trees, and air. Finally, it covers adaptations related to food sources, protection, and endangered species.
Animal classification ayush
The document describes the different types of animals classified based on their physical structures. It discusses that animals are broadly divided into two types - vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates have backbones, while invertebrates do not. Among vertebrates, it describes the five classes - Pisces (fish), Amphibians, Reptiles, Aves (birds), and Mammals. It provides characteristics of each class. Invertebrates include sponges, jellyfish, starfish, worms, mollusks, and arthropods like insects and spiders.
Consumers vertebrates

Unit 26 Amniotes
The document discusses key characteristics of amniotes such as reptiles, birds, and mammals. Amniotes develop in amniotic sacs that provide fluid and nutrients to the growing embryo. This allows for reproduction on land. Amniotes have two circulatory systems - pulmonary and systemic - as well as three- or four-chambered hearts depending on whether they are reptiles or birds and mammals. The document then covers anatomical and physiological adaptations of reptiles, birds, and mammals.
Animal Classification
Amphibians are born in water and breathe through gills but develop lungs on land. Birds have feathers, lay eggs, and have wings that allow most but not all to fly. Fish live in water and have gills, scales and fins. Arthropods include insects, spiders and crustaceans which have more than four jointed legs. Mammals are warm-blooded animals that bear live young and produce milk to feed their young. Reptiles are cold-blooded with scaly skin and include snakes, lizards, crocodiles and turtles.
Classification of Organisms.pptx
This document provides information about classification of organisms. It discusses the key features used to classify organisms into taxonomic groups such as species, genera, kingdoms. It outlines several kingdoms including Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista and Prokaryota. Within the animal kingdom, it describes characteristics of major phyla including arthropods, chordates and their classes. It also discusses the binomial nomenclature system and provides examples of scientific names.
Classifying Animals and their Group
This document discusses and compares vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates are animals with backbones, and there are five classes: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Each class is then described in 1-2 sentences. Invertebrates are animals without backbones that can take care of themselves after hatching from eggs. Insects are described as the largest group of invertebrates, having six legs and one or two pairs of wings.
ANIMALS WITH BACKBONES.pptx
The document discusses the five main groups of vertebrates: mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. Mammals have hair and feed their young milk. Birds are covered in feathers and have wings. Reptiles have scaly skin and lungs. Amphibians spend part of their life on land and part in water. Fish live entirely in water and breathe through gills.
Animals 5
Amphibians live both on land and in water, depending on their life stage. When young, they have gills and tails but develop lungs and legs as adults. They lay eggs but mothers do not care for offspring. There are two main groups - ones with long tails and short legs, and ones without tails that have strong front legs.
Fish live in both fresh and salt water, have scales, breathe through gills, and use fins to move. They lay eggs and baby fish are called fry. Cartilaginous fish have cartilage skeletons while bony fish have bone skeletons.
Birds are terrestrial but some migrate. They are covered in feathers, breathe through lungs, and use wings
Vertebrates2
Vertebrates are animals with backbones. There are five groups of vertebrates: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Fish live in water and breathe through gills. Amphibians can live on land or in water, undergoing metamorphosis from tadpoles to adults. Reptiles are terrestrial and have dry scaly skin, laying amniotic eggs. Birds are warm-blooded and have feathers and wings, laying eggs with hard shells. Mammals are warm-blooded and feed their young with mammary glands.
Classify animals
This document discusses how animals can be classified in multiple ways, including by their physical features, where they live, and how they act. It then focuses on classifying animals based on whether they have backbones or not. For vertebrates with backbones, it describes the main groups of fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals based on their defining characteristics. For invertebrates without backbones, it outlines groups like sea jellies, worms, mollusks, and arthropods. Finally, it briefly discusses how different animals are born from eggs or through live birth.

Vertebrate characteristics
- 2. Mammals (Mammalia) Mammals nourish their offspring with milk They have hair or fur that is made up of keratin They are endothermic, meaning mammals can maintain a consistent body temperature Some are Eutherians. They give birth to live young. While the offspring is in the uterus, it receives nutrients from the mother. Others are Monotremes, and they lay eggs. The nutrients for the offspring derives from the shelled egg. Lastly, is the Marsupials. Like Kangaroos, they young is born early and kept in a pouch and continue developing and nursing.
- 3. Birds (Aves) Similarto mammals, birds are also endothermic. Also birds are warm- blooded. Birds contain wings made up of feathers. They are able to grow new feathers each year. Because for their light weight and wings, birds are able to fly in the sky. Depending on their species, birds can either be carnivores or herbivores.
- 4. Amphibians (Amphibia) For amphibians, life begins underwater breathing through gills. As the mature into adults, these animals move from the water to land and breathe through their newly-developed lungs and-or skin. Amphibians will live in both water and on land. These carnivores feast on various items depending on their habitat and location. At some point in their lives, most amphibians will undergo metamorphosis.
- 5. Reptiles (Reptilia) Reptiles have scaly skin and three chambered hearts. However, the larger reptiles such as reptiles and crocodiles who possess four chambered hearts. They are cold blooded and have well- developed lungs. Instead of giving birth, reptiles lay eggs.
- 6. Fish Fish are ectothermic, meaning they are able to control the temperature of their fragile bodies. They have two chambered hearts and gills for respiration, however they do not have eyelids or external ears. Because of their lack of body parts, fish contain an organ called lateral line. This sensory organ allows the fish to feel vibrations when a movement has occurred near them. Fish are able to hide from predators and use this organ as a security measure.
