    REPRESENTATIVE PHYLUM CHARACTERISTICS
    ANIMALS
    Scypha Porifera Scypha are small, tube shaped
    marine calcareous sponges.
    They are sedentary and attach
    in colonies to rocks and other
    non-moving material in a
    shallow seawater.

    Corals Cnidaria A coral is a tubular sac-like


    animal with a central mouth
    surrounded by a ring of
    tentacles. The end opposite
    the tentacles, called the base,
    is attached to the substrate.

    Tapeworm Flatworm Tapeworms are bilaterally


    symmetrical. Some consist of
    one long segment; others have a
    definite head, followed by a
    series of identical segments
    called proglottids. The head, or
    scolex, bears sucker and often
    hooks, which are used for
    attachment to the host.
    The body covering is a tough
    cuticle, through which food is
    absorbed.

    Earthworm Annelid An earthworm has a


    streamlined body with no
    antennae or fins or arms or
    legs. This streamlined shape is
    an adaptation to living in
    narrow burrows underground
    and the need to move easily
    through the soil.
    Rotifers Rotifera Rotifers has a ring of hair-like
    structures. They are considered
    to be the smallest animals on
    Earth.
    Snail Mollusca It has a lengthy, moist,
    unsegmented, squishy, and
    slimy body. A hard shell
    typically surrounds the body to
    protect it. The snail's head,
    neck, visceral hump, tail, and
    foot are all parts of its body. A
    pair of tentacles or feelers are
    on the head.
    Sea Urchin Echinoderm It is spiny and ovoid-shaped. Its
    upper surface is domed and the
    underside is flattened. The
    mouth has a complex structure
    made up of five calcium
    carbonate plates.
    Grasshopper Arthropod Ringlike segments, jointed
    appendages, exoskeleton.
    Three body regions, three pair
    legs, one pair antennae,
    tracheal system, usually two
    pair wings.
    Ascaris Roundworms They have no distinct head.
    Four longitudinal lines are
    present in both males and
    females – two lateral, one
    ventral and one dorsal line.
    The mouth is present at the
    anterior end and is guarded by
    three lips – two sub- ventral
    lips and one dorsal lip.
    Sensory papillae and amphids
    are present on the lips.

    Frog Chordata Frogs have protruding eyes, no


    tail, and strong, webbed hind
    feet that are adapted for
    leaping and swimming. They
    also possess smooth, moist
    skins. Many are
    predominantly aquatic, but
    some live on land, in
    burrows, or in trees.

    Analysis
    1. In what ways animals are different from one another?
    Animals differ from one another according to their appearance, traits, habit. Like all living
    things, animals also grow, change, reproduce, and respond to their environment. All
    mammals share certain characteristics that make them different than birds or reptiles. They
    can be easily differing and identify through their function, character, and classification.

    2. How are they classified?


    The animals are being classified based on the Linnaeus method, species are arranged and
    grouped based on shared characteristics. The levels of classification are kingdom, phylum,
    class, order, family, genus, species. The system of classification was based on their
    morphology or physical appearances like sharing the same feature or characteristics.

    3. Why are animals important for the ecosystem?


    Animals are important for the ecosystem as they help plants reproduce by carrying pollen
    from plant-to-plant and by spreading seeds. Animals that eat insects and small mammals
    help reduce damage by caterpillars, rabbits, and other plant-eaters. Every plant and animal
    play a role in the ecosystem. All animals play an important role in maintaining balanced
    ecosystems as losing animals may affect or make changes to its surrounding.
