Chapter 31, Problem S1.2BYB
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
What is the basis for classifying an organism as a member of kingdom Animalia?
Introduction:
The organisms on Earth were classified into five kingdoms - Prokaryote, Protista,
Expert Solution & Answer
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.

PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.
How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?
