Document Summary

They are multicellular, with cells that lack cell walls but have an extensive extracellular matrix. They are heterotrophs, meaning they obtain the carbon compounds they need from other organisms. Animals are the only multicellular heterotrophs on the tree of life that ingest their food. 32. 1 why do biologists study animals: biological importance. Animals are key consumers in basically every ecosystem: role in human health and welfare. In some cases, understanding animals has a direct economic benefit and in other cases the gains are through improving human health: food, materials, and transportation. Humans largely depends on wild and domestic animals as food, primarily as a source of protein and fat. Fish and bees are also largely needed in our species. Animals are also an important source of materials: fibres and leather used to make clothing, blankets, and other materials. In nonindustrial societies, domesticated animals are used for transportation: disease transmission.
