Metamorphosis in Animals

Exploring the fascinating process of metamorphosis in animals, where they undergo significant physical changes after birth or hatching. Discover different types such as ametabola, hemimetabolism, and complete metamorphosis, each with distinct stages. From insect eggs to the transformation into adults, this article delves into the diversity and wonder of biological development in the animal kingdom.

1. Metamorphosis ZOO 311 Presented by: hessa al-obaid

2. Metamorphosisis a biological process by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching, involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animal's body structure through cell growth and differentiation.

3. Types of Types of Metamorphosis Metamorphosis

4. Ametabola Ametabola Are Are a a division are are wingless wingless and any any metamorphosis, metamorphosis, but hatch hatch from from the the egg same sameform formthey theykeep their theirlife life..

5. Hemimetabolism Hemimetabolism( (incomplete metamorphosis incomplete metamorphosis) ) Is a term used to describe the mode of development of Is a term used to describe the mode of development of certain insects that includes three distinct stages: the certain insects that includes three distinct stages: the egg nymph nymph and the and the adult stage adult stage. . These groups go through gradual changes; there is no These groups go through gradual changes; there is no pupal stage. stage.

7. Insect eggs

8. Insect eggs Insect eggs have various shapes. Some are conical, others are elliptical or hemispherical. The egg covered with a shell or varying thickness color and shape. Some eggs are laid singly in or plants, or in the soil, others laid in groups. The eggs are enclosed in an outer egg case or ootheca.

13. Larva The The larva is the stage which hatch from eggs in insect with larva is the stage which hatch from eggs in insect with compleat compleat metamorphosis. Larvae take different forms and is metamorphosis. Larvae take different forms and is divided into three main types divided into three main types:: Apodous Oligopod Polypod Scarabaiform Campodeiform Encephalous Acephalous Hemicephalous

14. 1-Polypod It possesses It possesses 3 3 pairs of jointed legs (true legs) and pairs of jointed legs (true legs) and numerous abdominal numerous abdominal prolegs prolegs, with cylindrical body.
