Chapter 3 – Kingdom Classification II

Questions, p. 63
Observe the figures and answer the Questions.
1. 1: Sea sponge; 2: Jellyfish; 3: Earthworm; 4: Honeybee
2. All these organisms do not have a backbone and are invertebrates.
3. a. Sea sponges have a simple cylindrical body that is covered with pores for water
and food to enter and a single large pore at the top of the body for the exit of wastes
dissolved in water. However, the jellyfish has an inverted bowl-like shape, with the
lower edges bearing tentacles.
b. The earthworm has a long, cylindrical body that is divided into ring-like segments
called annuli. However, the honeybee has a body is divided into a head, thorax, and
abdomen.

SECTION II
F. State the main functions of the following:
1. The suckers of a flatworm help it to grip the body of the host.
2. The chaetae on the underside of the bodies of annelids help them in locomotion.
3. Fish use their gills to breathe in water.
4. Cnidarians use their tentacles for movement and to catch their prey.
5. Tube feet help echinoderms to move.
G. Differentiate between the following pair of words based on what is given in the bracket.
1. Hydra and jellyfish (shape)
Ans: Sea anemone are generally vase-like in shape and have tentacles on the upper edges
of the vase. However, jellyfish have an inverted bowl-like shape, with the lower edges
bearing tentacles.
2. Planaria has a soft, flattened and leaf-like body while the earthworm has a long, cylindrical
body that is divided into ring-like segments called annuli.
3. A snail is an invertebrate while a salamander is a vertebrate.
4. Fish swim with the help of fins. Birds fly with the help of their wings.
5. The bodies of arthropods have a hard, outer covering or exoskeleton made up of a
3
proteinaceous substance called chitin. On the other hand, the bodies of echinoderms have
a tough skin covered with spines.
H. Short answer Questions.
1. Two examples of phylum Cnidaria are Hydra and jellyfish.
2. Cold-blooded animals are those animals whose body temperature changes with a change
in the surrounding temperatures. Two examples of cold-blooded animals are frogs and
salmon.
3. Frogs are called amphibians because they live both on land and in water.
4. The important features of an arthropod are:
• Its body has a hard, outer covering or exoskeleton made up of a proteinaceous substance
called chitin.
• The body is divided into a head, thorax, and abdomen. It also bears jointed legs in
pairs of three to many for locomotion.
• Arthropods also have antennae and compound eyes on their heads. Insects, such as
honeybees and scorpions, are examples of arthropods.
5. The important features of mammals are as follows.
• Mammals are mostly terrestrial.
• Their body is covered with fur or hair.
• They are warm-blooded.
• They give birth to their offspring.
• The females bear mammary glands and feed their young ones with milk.
• They have two pairs of limbs.
• They breathe through lungs.
• Examples are dogs, cats, whale, bears, and human beings.
I. Long answer Questions.
1. The two broad groups of Kingdom Animalia are invertebrates and vertebrates. The different
sub-groups within these groups and their examples are given below.
Invertebrates
• Porifera: Scypha, Euspongia
• Cnidaria: Hydra, jellyfish
• Platyhelminthes: Tapeworm, Planaria
• Nematoda: Ascaris, hookworm
• Annelida: Leech, earthworm
• Mollusca: Snail, mussel
• Arthropoda: Honeybee, scorpion
• Echinodermata: Sea urchin, brittle star

Vertebrates
• Fish: Shark, salmon
• Amphibians: Salamander, frog
• Reptiles: Snake, crocodile
• Birds: Sparrow, crow
• Mammals: Bear, dog
2. Cnidarians may exist in one of two forms.
• One form is attached to the ocean floor. It has a vase-like shape, with the upper edges
of the vase surrounded by long, slender, filament-like projections known as tentacles.
An example is Hydra.
• The other is free- floating. It usually has an inverted bowl-like shape, with the lower
edges bearing tentacles. An example is the jellyfish.
3. There are three types of worms in Kingdom Animalia—flatworms, roundworms and
segmented worms.
Flatworms Segmented worms
Roundworms (Nematoda)
(Platyhelminthes) (Annelida)
They have soft, flattened, They have a long, thin, and They have a long, cylindrical
and leaf-like or ribbon-like cylindrical unsegmented body that is divided into
bodies. body, which tapers at both ring-like segments called

4. Similarities:
• A fish and a bird are both vertebrates and have a backbone.
• Both have streamlined bodies.
Differences:
• Fish are aquatic animals that live in seas, oceans, and freshwater bodies. Birds can fly
and usually live on trees.
5
• The bodies of most fish are covered in scales. The bodies of birds are covered in feathers.
• Fish are cold-blooded but birds are warm-blooded.
• Fish breathe through gills while birds breathe through lungs.
5. Mammals have the following distinct features.
• Their body is covered with fur or hair.
• They give birth to their offspring.
• The females bear mammary glands and feed their young ones with milk.
Picture Study
1. a. Fig. 1: Tapeworm of phylum Platyhelminthes
Fig. 2: Ascaris of phylum Nematoda
Fig. 3: Earthworm of phylum Annelida
b. The tapeworm (Fig. 1) and Ascaris (Fig. 2) are parasites.
c. The earthworm (Fig. 3) bears chaetae.
d. The tapeworm has a soft, flattened, and ribbon-like body while the Ascaris has long,
thin, and cylindrical unsegmented body, which tapers at both ends. The tapeworm has
one opening for food intake and waste removal. However, the Ascaris has a tube-like
digestive system with a mouth at one end of the body and an anus at the other end.
2. a. Fig. 1: Sea sponge of phylum Porifera
Fig. 2: Hydra of phylum Cnidaria
b. Both are found in marine habitats and are usually attached to the ocean floor.
c. i. The large pore in the bodies of sea sponges is for the exit of wastes dissolved in
water from the body cavity.
ii. The filament-like structures projecting from the upper part of the body of Hydra
are tentacles that aid in movement and in catching prey.
d. Based on differences in body structure, the free-living form appears more advanced
due to more mobility and better means of catching prey.
3. Fig 1: Name: Salmon
Group: Fish
Reason: It swims in water using fins and breathes using gills.
Fig. 2: Name: Hydra
Group: Cnidaria
Reason: It has a soft, almost translucent body, with an opening representing the
mouth at one end leading to a single hollow body cavity. The upper edges of its
vase-like body are surrounded by tentacles.
Fig. 3: Name: Garden lizard
Group: Reptile
6
Reason: It is a cold-blooded vertebrate with a dry, scaly body. It is terrestrial and

breathes through its lungs.
Fig. 4: Name: Pigeon
Group: Birds
Reason: Its body is streamlined and covered with feathers. Its forelimbs are
modified into wings with which it can fly.
Fig. 5: Name: Jellyfish
Group: Cnidaria
Reason: It has a soft, almost translucent body, with an opening representing the
mouth at one end leading to a single hollow body cavity. It is free-floating and
has an inverted bowl-like shape, with the lower edges bearing tentacles.
Fig. 6: Name: Snail
Group: Mollusca
Reason: It has a soft, unsegmented body that is covered by a hard shell. It moves
with the help of a muscular foot.
