We spent the last unit learning about animal diversity. Let’s learn more about some individual animals.
Your task
We learned about nine animal phyla in our Animal Diversity lecture. Explore the resources below (or do your own internet search) and choose 4 living animals that each belong in a different phylum. Refer to our Animal Diversity lecture for information on the different phyla.
FILL IN ANIMAL TABLE ATTACHED CALLED UNIT 4 PROJECT
with information on the 4 different animals (each animal you choose should belong in a different phylum; i.e., do NOT select 2 animals from the same phylum). Your Unit 4 Project submission will be the completed table. Please submit as a Microsoft Word file, PDF, or Google Doc (please do NOT submit as Apple Pages file).
If you choose to make a Google Doc, be sure to share the slides by providing access to anyone with the link and then provide the Google Slides URL link as your assignment submission.
USE ATTACHED EXAMPLE AS A REFERENCE ITS CALLED EXAMPLE 1 (do NOT use the animal from my example). While my example only covers one animal, your project should cover four animals. There are a lot of fascinating animals you may not have heard of; don’t feel like you have to use animals you already know about.
What needs to be included:
Organize the following information in the table I provided above. Your final table should include all of the following bullet points:
· You must provide the phylum, class, order, family, genus, species, and common name for 4 living animals (each animal must be from a different phylum; do NOT select 2 animals from the same phylum)
o Note: Genus and species are 2 different categories, but are often presented together, e.g., Canis lupus = Canis is the genus and lupus is the species
§ Wolf is the common name for Canis lupus
· For each animal, state:
o Body symmetry (refer to chapter 15 PowerPoint for assistance)
o Triploblast, diploblast, or neither? (refer to chapter 15 PowerPoint for assistance)
o If the animal is a triploblast, is it a protostome or deuterostome? (refer to chapter 15 PowerPoint for assistance)
o Is the animal a coelomate, acoelomate, or pseudocoelomate? (refer to chapter 15 PowerPoint for assistance)
o How does the animal reproduce? Asexual, sexual, or both?
o What is the animal’s habitat like?
o Share one interesting/unique adaptation that the ani
