Animal Phyla Lab Adapted from “Phylum Lab” produced by the National Aquarium in Baltimore The diversity of animal life on Earth is astounding. Each animal has a unique body plan which allows it to survive and adapt to its given surroundings. With such an abundance of species‚ classifying animals into different categories is necessary. At first the diversity of animals can be overwhelming‚ but after further research and observation‚ many likenesses appear. These similarities become the basis for

The phylum Arthropoda is the largest and most varied in the animal kingdom. It includes well over one million described species. This represents approximately three-quarters of all known biological organisms‚ living or extinct. Countless arthropods remain undescribed (not yet named and studied)‚ and the actual number of living species could be as high as ten million or more. Some of the more well known arthropods include insects‚ crustaceans‚ and spiders‚ as well as the fossil trilobites. Arthropods

Biology Animal Phylums "Write a three sentence description for each phylum and list two examples for each. Also‚ draw a picture of a common example from each. (or cut out of a magazine). You will be graded on how accurate your information is as well as neatness." Sponges (Porifera): Poriferans don’t have mouths; instead‚ they have tiny pores in their outer walls through which water is drawn. Cells in the sponge walls filter nutrients from the water as the water is carried through the body

Dissection Megan Williamson period: 3 4/29/13 Objectives: The purpose of this lab was to study and observe the organs in a crayfish and be able to name them. Introduction: Crayfish belong to the kingdom animilia‚ phylum arthropod and class crustaceans. The body is divided into three parts‚ the body‚ the head‚ thorax‚ and abdomen. The head and thorax are apart of a segment called cephalothoraxes‚ which is covered by the carapace made of chitin. The exoskeleton covers

this experiment‚ we are required to observe‚ explain‚ identify and recognize the phylum under Kingdom Animalia. The phylum that we need to identify was Phylum Porifera‚ Phylum Cnidaria‚ Phylum platyhelminthes‚ Phylum Nematoda‚ Phylum Rotifera‚ Phylum Mollusca‚ Phylum Arthropoda‚ Phylum Echinodermata‚ Subphylum Cephalochordata and Subphylum Vertebrata (Fishes). Phylum Porifera The characteristic of members of Phylum porifera include asymmetrical or radial symmetry body plan. There are three types

CHAPTER 4 ANIMAL KINGDOM Animal Kingdom is characterized by multicellular‚ eukaryotic organisms. The cells lack cell walls. They ingest and digest food (holozoic)‚ hence they are heterotrophic. Higher forms show elaborate sensory and neuromotor systems. Majority of them are motile. Reproduction is mostly sexual and embryological development is present in them. About 1.2 million species of animals are described till now. The classification helps to assign a systematic position to newly described
