ANIMAL CHARACTERISTICS, CLASSIFICATION TERMS
AND PHYLA
Animal Characteristics
- 1,000,000 + have been discovered and identified and 1,000,000+ = Yet to be!
- Most = Invertebrates = 95% (Invertebrates vs. Vertebrates?)
- Found in all Ecosystems = Aquatic, Terrestrial, and Aerial
- All = Multicellular, Heterotrophic, and Eukaryotic Most = Motile (Motile vs. Sessile?)
- All = Store energy in the form of Glycogen
- All = Have cells that lack Cell Walls
- Most = Have specialized Tissue (ex. Nerve, Muscle, etc…)
