  1. INSECT DIGESTION ESSENTIAL INFO(write this on your chart!!) • Some insects feed on plants, others feed on animals

  2. Bugs have strawlike mouths that allow them to suck juices from plants and blood from other insects!

  3. INSECT EXCRETION ESSENTIAL INFO(write this on your chart!!) • Excrete waste through a structure called malipghian tubes

  4. Malpighian tubes in insects are similar to kidneys in mammals

  5. INSECT RESPIRATION AND REGULATION ESSENTIAL INFO(write this on your chart!!) • Endothermic • No lungs; exchange gases through tiny holes and tubes

  6. Air enters the insect's body through valve-like openings in the exoskeleton.   These openings (called spiracles) are located along the body of most insects -- usually one pair of spiracles per body segment.   Air flow is regulated by small muscles that operate one or two flap-like openings within each spiracle -- contracting to close the spiracle, or relaxing to open it.

  7. INSECT REPRODUCTION ESSENTIAL INFO(write this on your chart!!) • Most hatch from eggs • Go through several growth phases because their hard exoskeleton gives them no room to grow

  8. Metamorphosis – animals go through many growth phases

  9. INSECT CIRCULATION ESSENTIAL INFO(write this on your chart!!) • Open circulatory system • Large blood vessel functions as the heart

  10. Large blood vessel hearts pump blood straight into body

  11. INSECT FUN FACTS • 74% of the world’s animals are insects • Beetles account for one quarter of all known species of plants and animals. There are more kinds of beetles than all plants. • Scientists can study life cycles of bugs at crime scenes to tell when a crime occured • A cockroach can live for 9 days without its head

  12. Giant Hercules Beetle – check out it’s size!

  13. ant Beetles bee Cockroaches mosquito

  14. INSECTS – OTHER IMPORTANT FACTS(write this on your charts!!) • Phylum Arthropoda • Invertebrates • Have exoskeletons • Segmented bodies

  15. MAMMALS – DIGESTION(write this on your charts!!) • Jaws and teeth adapted to eat larger food and prey • Advanced digestive systems that break down food

  16. MAMMALS – EXCRETION(write this on your charts!!) • Urogenital systems • Kidneys help filter waste

  17. Kidneys help filter waste

  18. MAMMALS – RESPIRATION AND REGULATION (write this on your charts!!) • Endothermic • Lungs • Hormones, nervous system, advanced brains

  19. Endothermic animals are able to keep their body temperature fairly constant by using their body to adjust when it’s too cold or too hot. For example, we sweat to cool our bodies down when it’s hot and we shiver to warm our bodies up when its cold. • This allows mammals to live in more diverse habitats than ectotherms

  20. MAMMALS – REPRODUCTION(write this on your charts!!) • Produce milk and nurse young • 95% have a placenta • Few lay eggs or have pouches for babies

  21. A few mammals, like the platypus above, lay eggs to reproduce. 95% of animals reproduce with a placenta – an reproductive organ that connects mother to baby Some mammals carry young in pouches

  22. MAMMALS – CIRCULATION(write this on your charts!!) • 4 Chambered Heart • Closed circulatory system

  23. Mammalian 4 chambered hearts are the most efficient hearts • Mammals are endotherms because of their 4 chambered hearts

  24. MAMMALS – OTHER IMPORTANT FACTS(write this on your charts!!) • Phylum chordata • Vertebrates

  25. Mammal Fun Facts • YOU are a mammal! • Elephants have huge feet and can weigh more than five tons. But they have big, soft, spongy feet that spread their weight out so well they barely even leave footprints. • Fastest mammal is the cheetah that runs 60-70 miles per hour • Slowest mammal is the sloth

  26. AMPHIBIANS – DIGESTION(write this on your charts!!) • Takes in food through mouth • Have stomachs and intestines

  27. AMPHIBIANS – EXCRETION(write this on your charts!!) • Have excretory systems with kidneys to help filter waste

  28. Amphibians feed on live and dead insects

  29. AMPHIBIANS – RESPIRATION AND REGULATION(write this on your charts!!) • Ectotherms • Breathe through skin • in water – gills • on land - lungs

  30. Ectotherms absorb heat from their surroundings. • This is bad because ectotherms can only live in habitats that fall within the survivable temperature range

  31. AMPHIBIANS – REPRODUCTION(write this on your charts!!) • Sexual reproduction • External fertilization • Eggs must be laid in water

  32. Eggs must be laid in water or moist area because it lacks protective membranes & shell (loses water)

  33. AMPHIBIANS – CIRCULATION(write this on your charts!!) • Closed circulatory system • 3 chambered hearts

  34. AMPHIBIANS – OTHER IMPORTANT FACTS(write this on your charts!!) • “double life” – water and land • Vertebrates • Chordata

  35. Toads, Frogs, Pollywogs, Salamanders and Water dogs!

  36. Amphibian fun facts • Because frogs swallow their food whole, the size of their meal is only limited by the size of their mouth and their stomach. • Frogs can remain tadpoles from anywhere between 8 months and 2 years • salamanders can re-grow their toes and tails.
