ANIMALIA
2. Kingdom composed of heterotrophic organisms, or organisms that have to provide themselves their own food; organisms of this kingdom must ingest other organisms.
3. The organisms in this kingdom all have eukaryotic cells.
4. The organisms in this kingdom have no cell walls, as there are no plants in this kingdom and only plants have cell walls in their cells.
5. Adult animals develop from embryos, or small masses of unspecialized cells
FUN FACT: it's the largest of all kingdoms with more than one million species
7 PHYLUM of Animalia
1. Cnidaria: "Predominantly marine predators, but some live in freshwater. Found as sessile polyps or free-living medusae. Includes hydras, sea fans, jellyfishes, sea anemones, corals."
2. Nematoda: "Most are free-living worms in soil or aquatic sediment (sand or mud) but many species are parasites of plants and animals. 24,783 species, including 10 fossil species."
3. Mollusca: "Includes snails, slugs, clams, mussels, squid, and octopuses. Most are marine, but also many terrestrial and freshwater species."
4. Annelida: "Includes earthworms, leaches and marine segmented worms."
5. Arthropoda: "Includes terrestrial groups like insects, spiders, millipedes, centipedes as well as predominantly marine groups like crustaceans and sea spiders. 1,242,040 species, including 6,182 fossil species.""
6. Chordata: "Includes the well-known vertebrates (fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals) as well as tunicates. 64,791 living species, many fossil vertebrate species."
7. Echinodermata: "Entirely marine, includes sea stars, brittle stars, sea urchins, sand dollars, sea cucumbers, and sea lilies. 20,509 species, including 13,000 fossil species"
- Definition: all living and extinct animals on Earth are a part of this kingdom.
- Traits that make it unique
