Document Summary

Introduction to animal diversity and early animal evolution. Animals are multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes with tissue that develop from embryonic layers. Most animals feed by ingesting their food and then using enzymes to digest it within their bodies. Animals lack the structural support of cell walls. Protein external to the cell membrane provides support to the animal cells and connect them to one another. The most abundant of these proteins is collagen, which is not found in plants or fungi. Muscle and nerve cells are central to the animal lifestyle. The cells of most animals are organized into tissues, groups of similar cells that act as a functional unit. Muscle cells- contractile cells to help move the body. Most animals reproduce sexually and the diploid stage usually dominates the life cycle. In the haploid stage, sperm and egg cells are produced directly by meiotic division.
