Study Characteristics of Protozoans using Online Video

With this title, you will examine the biological characteristics of protozoans, parazoans, and primitive metazoans. Use these 2 online educational video titles to learn about taxonomic classification and explains the order this system brings to the immense variety of living things. Examines four of the subkingdoms: Protozoa, Parazoa, Mesozoa, and Metazoa. The topic also includes photographic images of volvox, euglenas, amoebas, ciliates, Porifera, Cnidaria, flatworms, roundworms, rotifers, bryozoans, and brachiopods.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand how biologists use taxonomy as a tool for progressively classifying animals to the species level according to similarities in their morphology and physiology.
• Survey animals ranging from unicellular organisms to multicellular invertebrates.
• Gain an introduction to euglenas, amoebas, paramecia, sponges, hydrozoans, soft corals, sea anemones, stony corals, flatworms, rotifers, bryozoans, and brachiopods.
• Discuss the physical characteristics of protozoans, parazoans, and primitive metazoans identified in the presentation and identify both the essential ways in which parazoans differ from protozoans and those features that distinguish primitive metazoans from parazoans.
• Access a text supplement that provides concise, encyclopedic information on selected species of invertebrates identified in the presentation.
