Summary Introduction

To analyze:

What is the basis for classifying an organism as a member of kingdom Animalia?

Explanation of Solution

Living organisms are classified into five kingdoms- Prokaryote, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Animalia is also termed as Metazoa.

The general characteristics of Animalia kingdom are

- It should be a eukaryote

- It should be a heterotroph

- It should be multicellular having nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi complex, ribosomes, lysosomes, vacuoles, cytoskeleton.

- It should contain a muscular system, skeletal system, circulatory system, excretory system, and reproductive system, to perform various functions required for survival.

- It should be able to ingest food and digest it inside the cavity.

- It should be able to move independently.

- It should contain organs necessary for the gaseous exchange of gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide necessary for survival.

Conclusion

The kingdom Animalia is characterized by eukaryotic and heterotrophic organisms. It is multicellular and has cell walls. They depend on plants directly for their food. Food is ingested and digested in the food cavity. The organisms are capable of locomotion.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
