How are animals different from other living organisms?
All animals are eukaryotic, multicellular organisms, and most animals have complex tissue structure with differentiated and specialized tissue. Animals are heterotrophs; they must consume living or dead organisms since they cannot synthesize their own food and can be carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, or parasites.
What are the physical features of animals?
Animals can be classified according to different physical characteristics, such as body covering (e.g., hair, fur, feathers, scales, shells), body shape (e.g., two main features, three main features), appendages (e.g., arms, legs, wings, fins, tails), and method of movement (e.g., walking, crawling, flying, swimming).
What are 3 characteristics shared by all members of the animal kingdom?
All animals are eukaryotic, multicellular organisms, and almost all animals have specialized tissues. Most animals are motile, at least during certain life stages. Animals require a source of food to grow and develop. All animals are heterotrophic, ingesting living or dead organic matter.
Which features are characteristics of most animals?
All animals are eukaryotic, multicellular organisms, and most animals have complex tissue structure with differentiated and specialized tissue. Animals are heterotrophs; they must consume living or dead organisms since they cannot synthesize their own food and can be carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, or parasites.
What are the features of mammals?
What five characteristics do mammals have in common? Mammals have hair or fur; are warm-blooded; most are born alive; the young are fed milk produced by the mother's mammary glands; and they have a more complex brain than other animals.
Why Different species have different characteristic?
Genetic variation within a species can result from a few different sources. Mutations, the changes in the sequences of genes in DNA, are one source of genetic variation. Another source is gene flow, or the movement of genes between different groups of organisms.
Why species have different characteristics?
The differences in characteristics between individuals of the same species is called variation . Some variation is passed on from parents to offspring, via genes during reproduction. This is inherited variation. Some variation is the result of differences in the surroundings, or what an individual does.
What are the similar species with different characteristics?
Convergent evolution is the opposite of divergent evolution, in which related species evolve different traits. Convergent evolution is similar to parallel evolution, in which two similar but independent species evolve in the same direction and independently acquire similar characteristics.
What are the three main features of all birds?
Birds are in the class Aves. All birds have the following key features: they are endothermic (warm-blooded), have two legs, and lay eggs.
What makes an organism an animal?
Animals are a major group of organisms, classified as the kingdom Animalia or Metazoa. In general they are multicellular, capable of locomotion and responsive to their environment, and feed by consuming other organisms.
What are the 4 characteristics common to most animals?
(i) The levels of organization. (ii) Nature of coelom. (iii) The presence or absence of segmentation and notochord. (iv) Organization of the organ system.
What are some examples of physical features?
Physical characteristics include land forms, climate, soil, and natural vegetation. For example, the peaks and valleys of the Rocky Mountains form a physical region. Some regions are distinguished by human characteristics. These may include economic, social, political, and cultural characteristics.
