Phylum

Jul 27, 2016- I gave up biology in high school. For a guy like me, who possibly draws the worst diagrams and finds it difficult to memorise even the characteristics of phylum, biology was not my cup of tea. But my love and interest for animals have always been the same—entirely pure and spontaneous. Nature’s creations are one of the things that astound me the most; nature is a perpetual source for divine creativity of which I am only a mere admirer and a weak connoisseur. The creation of tigers,…

Alix Lippincott Mr. Day Biology B4 May 15, 2016 The Evolution of the Gray wolf Every species has an evolution, the gray wolf is no different. They belong to the “Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Chordata, Class: Mammalia, Order: Carnivora, Family: Canidae, Subfamily: Caninae, Genus: Canis and Species Lupus.” The gray wolf didn't start as a gray wolf it was originally a different animal that adapted overtime to become a gray wolf. The Reason for an animal adaption is mutation, natural selection,…

Characteristics wise, Borrelia burgdorferi has a quite unique structure and set of adaptations that allows the bacterium to thrive on its host. Borrelia burgdorferi is known as a Gram negative spirochete, meaning the bacterium consists of a double membrane and is helically shaped (1). One of the membranes is an inner membrane and the other membrane is the outer membrane, also consisting of a protoplasm that is generally cylindrical and long. The most unique feature of the Borrelia burgdorferi is…

especially true with kittens who love to follow toys and play fight. Play fighting among kittens may be a way for them to practice and learn skills As a member of the kingdom Animalia, locomotion is a distinct characteristic. They are part of the phylum Chordata. Firstly, they have bilateral symmetry which allows for a very distinct head region. Also, cats have three germ layers and a complete digestive tract. Class Mammalia feed their young with milk from mammary glands. They also have bodies…

Coelenterata - Characteristics of coelenterata are as follows: Coelenterata are creatures that live in the sea although there are some who live in fresh water.Coelenterata included in the class of diploblastik. Exterior body composition has epidermal cells and in the inner layer of gastrodermis. Coelenterata have a difference compared to the porifera where although equally hollow but coelenterata has only one hole for all activities such as eating and as a disposal. Another feature is on the…

they are transparent and have stinging tentacles around the edge and considered as invertebrate species, meaning that they do not have backbones. The kingdom they are classified to is animalia(eukaryotic and multicellular organism) and belongs to phylum cnidaria, which is a taxonomic rank below kingdom and above class. Theoretically, members of Cnidaria have life cycles that alternate between asexual polyps (the body as a vase shaped form), and sexual, free-swimming forms called medusae…

The Animal Book Chapter 1: Animal characteristics Chapter 2: Body Parts Body plans refer to similarities in development, structure, and function among members of a particular group (phylum). At some point, members of that group share the same body plan during their development process. Which could be a possible explanation for shared structural plans that have been observed in the anatomy and embryology. Timing, pattern, and scale of development determine the organism's shape, and closely…

Crudas Disasrous”is an oil tanker which has run aground and is leaking at a rate of 15 tonnes of oil per day. The oil is heading south with a strong current heading towards the bottom of Stradbroke Island from just north of Amity point and within 72 hours it will have reached the southern side of the islands ecosystems. North Stradbroke Island is made up of 18 regional ecosystems including; mudflats, mangroves, rocky shores and tidal flats, which is also located in Morton Bay just off the coast…

live in African rain forests, woodlands, and grasslands. Even though they usually walk on all fours, they can stand upright and walk and their two back legs just as human beings do. Chimpanzees and humans fall into the same kingdom (Animalia), phylum (Chordata), class (Mammalia), order (Primates), and family (Hominidae). Chimpanzees are animals that are similar to human beings because we are both organisms that have backbones, can maintain our own body temperature, have mammary glands, and…

Robust knowledge is the acquisition of strong, high-quality information, facts and skills about a subject that you develop through experience and education. I personally believe that this type of knowledge requires both consensus and disagreement since a robust knowledge only occurs with arguments being both proven and falsified so that both strengths and weaknesses can be identified. Knowledge is considered to be robust if it can persist continuous criticism, and the only way to find this out…
