‘Animalia
Inckades 11 major phyta:
1) Poriéera 2)Critaria 3)Ctenophora 4)Pluyhelminthes 5)Aschelminthes
6) Anmelida 7) Anbropoda 8)Molksca 9)Echinodermata 10)Hemichordata
11) Chordata
1, LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION
Based on this, animals are grouped into four level
a. Cellular level of organization: Here, the cells are arranged as loose cell ageregates. Eg. Poriera.
bb, Tissue evel of organization: Here, the cells are arranged into tissues. E.g. Cnidarians. and Ctenophores,
cc. Organ level of organization: Here, tissues are arranged info organs. E.g. Higher animals
(Pliyhelminthes to chordates).
4. Organ system Jevel of organization: Here, organs are associated to form organ system. Each system
performs a specific physiological function. Eg. Aschelminthes to chordate Organ systems of various
animals show compkxities. Eg, Higher Animals
2 CIRCULATORY SYSTEM is 2 types: open & closed.
3. BODY SYMMETRYIts the arrangement of similar body parts on 2 sides of main axis of the body. Based on symmetry,
animals
are 2 types: Asymmetrical and Symmetrical.
Asymmetrical: Here, body cannot be divided into 2 equal halves. E.g. Most members of porifera,
Symmetrical: Here, body can be divided into 2 equal halves. It is 2 types.
+ Radial symmetry: Here, body can be divided into 2 equal halves in any vertical plane along central
axis (oral-aboral axis) of the body. E.g. Members of Cnidaria, Ctenophores and Echinoderms (adult)
Bilateral symmetry: Here, body can be divided into right & left halves in only one plane.
Eg. Pkiyhelminthes to Chordata (except adult Echinodermata)
4, Germinal ayers (Embryonic layers)
‘These are layers of embryo from which all the body organs are formed. Based on the number of germ
lhyers, animals are 2 types- Diploblastic and Triploblastic.
‘a. Diploblastic animals: 2 germ layers- outer ectoderm and inner endoderm. In between these layers, an
‘undifferentiated jelly-like layer called mesoglea is present. Fg, Cnidaria & Ctenophora.
1b Triploblastic: animals: 3 germ layers- Outer ectoderm, middle mesoderm and inner endoderm E.g.
latyhelminthes to Chordata.
5. Coelom (body cavity‘ is the cavity lined by mesoderm It is seen between body wall and gut wall.
‘Coclom separates the muscles of gut and body wall
Based on the nature of coelom, animals are 3 types:
a. Acoelomate: Nocoelom. The space between body wall and digestive cavity is filed with matrix
(parenchyma). E.g. Porifera to Platyhelminthes,
b. Pseudocoelomute: False coelom. Here, the body cavity is not lined by mesoderm Mesoderm is
scattered pouches. F.g. Aschelminthes.Coelomate _Pseudocaelomate _Acoelomate
¢. Coclomate: True coelom Here, the coelom arises from the mesoderm Coelom is lined by peritoneal
layer and filled with coelomic fd, Eg. Annelida to Chordata,
Funetions of coelom:
+ Ttaccommodates visceral organs.Coelomic fluid reduces friction between visceral organsIt acts as shock
absorber.
6. Metamerisin (segmentation
Itis the phenomenon in which the body or organs is externally and intemally divided into repeated segments
(metameres). Eg, Annelids (earthworm etc,), Arthropods. Notochord
Iisa mesodermally derived supporting rod formed on the dorsal side during embryonic development in
some animals. Animals with notochord are called chordates and those without notochord are called non-
cchordates.

QUESTION AND ANSWER
Question 1: What are the difficulties that you would face in chssification of animals, if common fundamental
features. are not taken into account?
ANSWER: For the classification of living organisms, common fundamental characteristics are considered,
If' we consider specific characteristics, then each organism will be placed in a separate group and the entire
objective of classification woukl not be achieved.
Classification of animals is ako important in comparing different organisms and judging their individual
evolutionary significance. If only a single characteristic is considered, then this objective would not be
achieved,
Quest 2: Ifyou are given a specimen, what are the steps that you woukl follow to classify it?
ANSWER: There is a certain common fundamental feature that helps in classification of
be features that can be used in chssification are as follows.
On the basis of above features, we can easly classify a specimen into its respective category:
Question 3: How usefil is the study of the nature of body cavity and coelom in the classification of animals?
ANSWER: Coelom is a fluid filed space between the body wall and digestive tract. The presence or absence of
body cavity or coelom plays a very important role in the chisification of animals. Animals that possess a fluid
filled cavity between body wall and digestive tract are known as coelomates. Annelids, mollusks, arthropods,
echinodermates, and chordates are examples of coelomates. On the other han, the animals in which the body
cavity is not lined by mesoderm are known as pseudocoelomates. In such animals, mesoderm is scattered in
between ectoderm and endoderm. Aschelminthes is an example of psetwlocoelomates. In certain animals, the body
cavity is absent. They are known as acoelomutes. An example of acoelomates is platyhelminthes.Question 4: Distinguish between intracellular and extracellular digestion?

Question 6: What are the peculiar features that you find in parasitic pltyhelminthes? ANSWER: Taenia
(Tapeworm) and Fasciola (iver fuke) are examples of parasitic platyhelminthes. Peculiar features in parasitic
platybelminthes are as flows.
1. They have dorsiventrally flattened body and bear hooks and suckers to get attached inside the body of the
host
2. Their body is covered with thick tegument, which protects them from the action of digestive juices of the
host.
3. The tegument also belps in absorbing nutrients from the host's body
Question 7: What are the reasons that you can think of for the arthropods to constitute the largest group of
the animal kingdom?ANSWER: The phylum, Arthropoda, consists of more than two-thirds of the animal species on earth. The
reasons for the success of arthropods are as follows.
i Joimted legs that allow more mobility on land
ii, Hard exoskeleton made of chitin that protects the body
iii, The hard exoskeleton ako reduces water Joss from the body of arthropods making them more
adapted to terrestrial conditions
Question 8: Water vascular system is the characteristic of which group of the following:
(a) Porifera (b) Ctenophora (c) Echinodermata (d) Chordata
ANSWER: Water vascular system is a characteristic feature of the phylum, Echinodermata. It consists of an
array of radiating channels, tube feet, and madreporite, The water vascular system helps in locomotion, food
‘capturing, and respiration,
Question 9: “All vertebrates are chordates but all chordates are not vertebrates”. Justify the statement.
ANSWER: The characteristic features of the phylum, Chordata, inclade the presence of a notochord and
paired pharyngeal gill sits. In sub-phylum Vertebrata, the notochord present in embryos gets replied by a
cartiginous or bony vertebral column in adults. Thus, it can be said that all vertebrates are chordates but
all chordates are not vertebrates.
Question 10: How important is the presence of air bladder in Pisces?
ANSWER: Gas bladder or air bhdder is a gas filed sac present in fishes. It helps in maintaining buoyancy.
Thus, it helps fishes to ascend or descend and stay in the water current.
Question 11: What are the modifications that are observed in birds that belp them fly?
ANSWER: Birds have undergone many structural adaptations to suit their aerial fe. Some of these
adaptations are as follows.
(9 Streamlined. body for rapid and smooth movement
i) Covering of feathers for insulation
(iii) Forelimbs modified into wings and hind limbs used for walking, perching, and swimmning
(iv) Presence of pneumatic bones to reduce weight
(v) Presence of additional air sacs to supplement. respiration
Question 12: Could the number of eggs or young ones produced by an oviparous and viviparous mother be
‘equal? Why?
ANSWER: The numbers of eges produced by an oviparous mother will be more than the young ones
produced bya viviparous mother. This is because in oviparous animals, the development of young ones takes
place outside the mother’s body. Their eggs are more prone to environmental conditions and predators
‘Therefore, to overcome the loss, more eggs are produced by mothers so that even under harsh environmental
conditions, some eggs might be able to survive and produce young ones. On the other hand, in viviparous
organisms, the development of young ones takes place in safe conditions inside the body of the mother. They
are less exposed to environmental conditions and predators. Therefore, there are more chances of their
survival and hence, Jess number of young ones is produced compared to the number of eggs.Question 13: Segmentation in the body is first observed in which of the following:
(@) Platybelminthes (b) Aschelminthes (c) Annebda (d) Arthropoda
ANSWER: The body segmentation first appeared in the phykim, Annelida (anmulus meaning lithe ring).

19. Creative and critical thinking.
Birds are vertebrates with wings and feathers,
Most birds can fly ,using power full muscles to flap their wings. But a few bird species do not have strong,
enough wings to fly, and so these birds are flightless.
Binds occur everywhere in the fields, forest, deserts, mountains and water, poss etc. They exhibit a verity of
behaviors. They produce peculiar sound and communicate with the each other by songs and bindcall..
