You have been asked to support the concept that ‘animals have a unique body plan’ with statements that set the animals apart from other groups of living creatures. Which of the following would be appropriate to include in your response?Check All That ApplyAnimals have unique attributes that often arise through their development.Animals have unique attributes that often arise through their development.Animals with determinate cleavage and indeterminate cleavage differ because one type undergoes cleavage divisions (determinate) and the other does not (indeterminate). Animals with determinate cleavage and indeterminate cleavage differ because one type undergoes cleavage divisions (determinate) and the other does not (indeterminate).Animals can be acoelomates, pseudocoelomates or coelomates which influences how they move about in their environment.Animals can be acoelomates, pseudocoelomates or coelomates which influences how they move about in their environment.Protostome and deuterostome animals differ in their symmetry and level of segmentation but utilize the blastopore similarly.

What is true of all animals?Multiple choice question.They are unicellular.They have complex body plans.They are multicellular.They have similar body plans.

Animal, (kingdom Animalia), any of a group of multicellular eukaryotic organisms (i.e., as distinct from bacteria, their deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is contained in a membrane-bound nucleus). They are thought to have evolved independently from the unicellular eukaryotes. Animals differ from members of the two other kingdoms of multicellular eukaryotes, the plants (Plantae) and the fungi (Mycota), in fundamental variations in morphology and physiology. This is largely because animals have developed muscles and hence mobility, a characteristic that has stimulated the further development of tissues and organ systems.Animals dominate human conceptions of life on Earth not simply by their size, abundance, and sheer diversity but also by their mobility, a trait that humans share. So integral is movement to the conception of animals that sponges, which lack muscle tissues, were long considered to be plants. Only after their small movements were noticed in 1765 did the animal nature of sponges slowly come to be recognized.

Which of the following characteristics do all animals share?Multiple ChoiceThey are single-celled eukaryotes.They are multicellular prokaryotes.They are multicellular eukaryotes.They are single-celled prokaryotes.No answer is correct.

Which one of the following characteristics is NOT TRUE of animals? a. They are eukaryotic organisms, with cells lacking cell walls. b. They are multicellular heterotrophs, which eat food by ingestion. c. Most adult animals are diploid and reproduce sexually. d. Some animals can decompose their food outside their bodies
