V. Answers in brief.

Question 1.
Define taxonomy.
Answer:
Taxonomy is the science of classification which makes the study of a wide variety of organisms easier and helps us to understand the relationship among different groups of animals.

Question 2.
What is nematocyst?
The stinging cells present at tentacles of aquatic animals like jellyfish, hydra, etc in phylum Coelenterata is called nematocyst (cnidoblast)

Question 3.
Why coelenterates are called diploblastic animals?
Answer:
The body wall of coelenterates is diploblastic with two layers, namely outer ectoderm and inner endoderm separated by a non-cellular jelly-like substance called mesoglea. Due to the presence of two layers in the body wall, they are said to be diploblastic animals.

Question 4.
List the respiratory organs of amphibians.
Answer:
The respiratory organs of amphibians are gills, lungs, skin and pharyngeal region.

Question 5.
How does locomotion take place in starfish?
Answer:
Locomotion in starfish is affected by tube feet.

Question 6.
Are Jelly fish and star fish similar to fishes? Give reasons.
Answer:
No. Jellyfish and starfish are not similar to fishes because jellyfish belong to Cnidarians. Star fish belongs to Echinodermata. Fishes belong to the class Pisces.

Question 7.
Why are frogs said to be amphibians?
Answer:
They are the first vertebrates to live on land with dual adaptation to living in aquatic and land environments. This double life is expressed as amphibious.

VI. Short answer questions.

4. The animals possess body cavity called coelom.
5. Some organisms show movable bristles called setae.
6. They have no legs and no hard skeleton.
7. The body is covered by moist outer cuticle.

Answer:

Flatworms	Roundworms
The flatworms come under phylum Platyhelminthes.	The roundworms come under phylum Nematoda
Flatworms have a dorsoventrally flattened body.	Roundworms have cylindrical body with tapering at one end.

Question 6.
How are the limbs of the birds adapted for avian life?
Answer:

1. Forelimbs of birds are modified into wings with feathers for flight.
2. The hind limbs are adapted for walking perching or swimming.

VII. Long Answer Questions.

Question 1.
Describe the characteristic features of different Prochordates.
Answer:
Prochordates are the forerunners of Vertebrates. They do not have a cranium or skull. So they are called Acrania. The classification is based on the nature of the notochord. The following are the three subphyla of protochordate.
(a) Hemichordates:

Eg- Balanoglossus.
The organism lack notochord and are without backbones. They are tuberculous forms. The body is soft, vermiform, unsegmented, bilaterally symmetrical and triploblastic. The notochord is persistent as the stomochord in the anterior region.

(b) Cephalochordates:

Eg- Amphioxus
The notochord extends forward beyond the brain. Small fish like marine chordates with i unpaired dorsal fins.

(c) Urochordates:

Eg- Ascidians
The notochord is confined to the tail region of the larva. In adults, they degenerate and are in sessile forms. The body is enveloped by a tunic or test.

Question 2.
Give an account on phylum Arthropoda.
Answer:

• Arthropoda is the largest phylum of the animal kingdom.
• They are bilaterally symmetrical, triploblastic and coelomate animals.
• The body is divisible into head, thorax and abdomen.
• Each segment bears paired jointed legs.
• Exoskeleton is made of chitin and is shed periodically as the animal grows.
• The casting off and regrowing of exoskeleton is called moulting.
• Body cavity is filled with haemolymph(blood).
• The blood does not flow in blood vessels and circulates throughout the body (open circulatory system).
• Respiration is through body surface,gills or trachea (air tubes).
• Excretion occurs by malphigian tubules or green glands Sexes are separate,
  e.g., Prawn, Crab, Cockroach, Millipedes, Centipedes, spider, scorpions.
