Ch 26: TExES Life Science: Animals
About This Chapter
TExES Life Science: Animals - Chapter Summary
Prepare to sit for the TExES Life Science examination by re-familiarizing yourself with the chapter's material on animals. Watch the videos in order to correctly answer any exam questions on:
- The history of human and animal evolution
- Embryonic development in vertebrates and invertebrates
- Physiological processes in animals
Develop deeper knowledge of animals when you study the handy video lessons in this chapter. They are taught by expert instructors who make the learning process fun. You can study anywhere that offers Internet access. You may scroll between topics with the video tags and submit your questions to life science experts. The self-assessment quizzes will determine how much you're remembering about animals.

1. The History of Animal & Human Evolution
Animal and human evolution occurs through genetic alterations across numerous generations. Follow the evolution of vertebrates, invertebrates, and humans by studying examples of the anatomical features that developed through history.

2. Embryonic Development & Life Cycles of Invertebrates & Vertebrates
The embryonic development and life cycles differ for invertebrates and vertebrates due to differences in genetic makeup. Explore these difference (and similarities) between the life cycles and embryonic development of invertebrates and vertebrates.

3. The Significance of Physiological Processes in Animals
Physiological processes are the function of different systems of the body, often demonstrated through organs. Explore the functions of animal organ systems to identify how each contributes to survival in specific and significant ways.
