1 Introduction to Animals Animals are multicellular eukaryotes with cells bound by collagen, dominating life on Earth due to their size, diversity, and mobility. Animals are divided into two major groups: vertebrates, which have backbones, and invertebrates, which do not. Animals first appeared during the Ediacaran Period, about 635 to 541 million years ago, as soft-bodiedforms. Animals have basic functional systems like musculoskeletal, nervous, endocrine, digestive, circulatory, and reproductive systems. Animals differ from plants and fungi in morphology and physiology, notably in muscle development and mobility.
2 Animal Kingdom Animals evolved from unicellular eukaryotes, with a nuclear membrane allowing greater control over protein synthesis. Mobility in animals requires elaborate senses and internal communication, unlike plants and fungi. All animal phyla possess collagen, a protein that binds cells into tissues, absent in unicellular eukaryotes. Muscles in animals are specializations of actin and myosin microfilaments, common to all eukaryotic cells. Animals maintain the same shape throughout life, unlike plants and fungi, which grow by extending outer surfaces.
3 Classification and Diversity Early classifications were based on form and similarity, with Aristotle and Linnaeus contributing to early systems. Georges Cuvier divided animals into vertebrates, arthropods, mollusks, and radiates based on form and function. Homology refers to correspondence between features due to continuity of information, crucial for classification. Protozoans, once considered animals, are now part of the Protista kingdom, separate from plants and animals. Like plants and animals, fungi arose from protists and are now recognized as a separate kingdom.
4 Form and Function Animals have various types of skeletons and mechanisms for translating movement into locomotion and feeding. The nervous system in animals is crucial for receiving and processing sensory information and controlling activities. Animals have a digestive system for receiving and processing food, essential for energy and growth. Reproductive systems in animals ensure species survival throughthe production of offspring. Water and vascular systems in animals are vital for nutrientand waste transportwithin the body.
5 Ecology and Evolution Animals inhabitdiverse ecosystems, each with unique challenges and adaptations for survival. Animals play various ecological roles, from predators to prey, influencing biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics. Human activities significantly impact animal habitats and biodiversity,necessitating conservation efforts. The evolutionary history of animals is marked by significant events like the rise of vertebrates. Fossil records provide insights into the appearance and evolution of animals over millions of years.
6 Introduction to Data Collection Data collection involves gathering information from various sources to analyze and make informed decisions. Data is crucial for businesses to understandconsumer behavior and improve services. Common data types include IP addresses, device characteristics, and browsing data. Cookies are small files stored on devices to track user activity and preferences. Session cookies expire after a session, while persistent cookies remain for a set duration.
