Vertebrates
and
Invertebrates
By:

Sharon Kallaji and
Heather Milewski


Slide 3

All living things can be put into one
of five groups called Kingdoms.
The five Kingdoms are:
Monerans
Protists
Fungi
Plants
Animals


Slide 4

Monerans

Protists

• Have no nucleus

•Are mostly single celled,
but some are simple many
celled organisms

• Are single celled
organisms

•Have a nucleus and
organelles


Slide 5

Fungi
• Are many celled organisms

• Do not make their own food
• Absorb food from their
environment


Slide 6

Plants
• Have chlorophyll
• Make their own food
•Are many celled organisms
•Have cell walls


Slide 7

• Are many celled organisms

• Do not make their own food
• Obtain food by eating


Slide 8

All animals can be classified as
belonging to one of two groups:

Those

with

Backbones

OR

Those

without

Backbones


Slide 9

Animals
without Backbones
are called

Invertebrates.


Slide 10

There are many
different types of
Invertebrates:
•Sponges

•Anemones and Jellyfish
•Worms
•Snails, Clams and Octopuses

•Starfish and Urchins
•Insects, Spiders, Ticks, Lobsters,
Crabs, and Crayfish


Slide 11

Sponges
• Are simple animals
• Have only two cell
layers

• Have no Backbone


Slide 12

Anemones and Jellyfish
• Have tentacles and
stinging cells
• All live in water
• Feed themselves with
their tentacles
• Have no Backbone


Slide 13

Worms
• Can be flat, round,
or segmented
• Flatworms have a
flat body

• Roundworms have a
round body
• Segmented worms
are divided into
small sections
• Have no Backbone


Slide 14

Snails, Clams and
Octopuses
• Often have shells
• Have a head, foot and
well developed organs
• Have no Backbone


Slide 15

Starfish and Urchins
• Have a spiny body
• Are arranged in a
circle, like spokes on
a wheel
• Live on the bottom
of the Ocean
• Have no Backbone


Slide 16

Insects, Spiders, Lobsters,
Crabs and Crayfish
• Have a shell
like covering
called an
exoskeleton
• Have
jointed legs
• Have a
segmented
body
•Have no
Backbone


Slide 17

Animals
with Backbones
are called

Vertebrates.


Slide 18

There are five groups of
Vertebrates:
Fish
Reptiles
Amphibians
Birds
Mammals


Slide 19

Fish
• Are cold-blooded
• Have gills and scales
• Live in water
• Have a Backbone


Slide 20

These are Fish


Slide 21

Fish have Backbones


Slide 22

Reptiles
•Have scales
•Live on land
•Are cold-blooded
•Usually lay eggs
•Have a Backbone


Slide 23

These are Reptiles


Slide 24

Reptiles have Backbones


Slide 25

Amphibians
•Live in water and on land
•Are cold blooded
•Have smooth skin
•Lay eggs
•Have a Backbone


Slide 26

These are Amphibians


Slide 27

Amphibians have Backbones


Slide 28

Birds
•Have feathers
•Are warm-blooded
•Have hollow bones and
most can fly
•Lay eggs

•Have a Backbone


Slide 29

These are Birds


Slide 30

Birds have Backbones


Slide 31

Mammals
• Have hair or fur
•Are warm-blooded
•Feed milk to their young
•Bear live young (except
monotremes)

•Have a Backbone


Slide 32

These are Mammals


Slide 33

Mammals have Backbones


Slide 34

Review

• Animals without
Backbones are called
invertebrates:

• Animals with
backbones are called
vertebrates:

•Sponges

•Fish

•Anemones and Jellyfish

•Reptiles

•Worms

•Amphibians

•Snails, Clams and Octopuses

•Birds

•Starfish and Urchins

•Mammals

•Insects, Spiders, Ticks,
Lobsters, Crabs, and
Crayfish
