Butterfly This is the largest phylum with almost 80% of the animals kingdom in this phyla. Body is bilaterally symmetrical and segmented. It is divided into head, thorax and abdomen. Possess jointed legs which may be modified for walking, swimming feeding and feeling. Exoskel..

It is a group consisting of multicellular aquatic algae which exhibit a highly varied organisation of the plant body. They are generally found attached to rocky stones. Some of them occur as total or semi parasites on the other algal plants. The members of this group are commonly called 'red algae..

Most of the bacteria contain one to many locomotor structures called flagella. Cocci do not have flagella. Based on the number and mode of attachment of the flagella, bacteria can be distinguished into the following types: I . Atrichous : Bacteria without flagella. II. Trichous: They bear one or m..

These are non-motile spores produced inside structures called sporangia in fungi such as Rhizopus and Mucor. These spores are dispersed by wind. fig. 8.20 - Modes of Asexual Reproducti..

Zooflagellates are unicellular organisms which may be free living or parasitic. Many of them occur as parasites in various hosts. Some of them occur as symbionts. They have an elongated body containing a single, large nucleus. The body is surrounded by a transparent pellicle. One or two flagella ar..

Phylum Arthropoda (Animals with Jointed Legs) - Butterfly This is the largest phylum with almost 80% of the animals kingdom in this phyla. Body is bilaterally symmetrical and segmented. It is divided into head, thorax and abdomen. Possess jointed legs which may be modified for walking, sw..

Amoeba is a protozoan which forms the simplest of all groups in the animal kingdom. Inspite of being unicellular it is physiologically balanced and performs all the essential processes of an animal. Carbon dioxide, urea, uric acid and mineral salts are not allowed to collect beyond a cert..

All multicellular animals are now placed in the kingdom of Metazoa. The multicellular animals show a very specific body organisation which ranges from cellular grade to organ system grade. Higher in the hierarchy of animal kingdom, one can recognise appearance of specifi..

Phylum Porifera - Primitive multicellular animals with cellular grade of organisation. Free living aquatic, mostly marine, sedentary forms either solitary or colonial. Body with a large number of incurrent pores called ostia leading into a spongocoel through a system of canals, Spongocoel opening o..
