TN State Board 11th Bio Zoology Important Questions Chapter 2 Kingdom Animalia

Answer the following.

Question 1.
Define levels of Organization.
Answer:
All members of Kingdom Animalia are metazoans (multicellular animals) and exhibit different patterns of cellular organization. The cells of the metazoans are not capable of independent existence and exhibit division of labour. Among the metazoans, cells may be functionally isolated, or similar kinds of cells may be grouped together to form tissues, organ, and organ systems.

Question 2.
Name the layers of cells found in sponges.
Answer:
In sponges, the outer layer is formed of pinacocytes (plate-like cells that maintain the size and structure of the sponge) and the inner layer is formed of choanocytes. These are flagellated collar cells that create and maintain water flow through the sponge thus facilitating respiratory and digestive functions.

Question 3.
What is the tissue level of Organization?
Answer:
In some animals, cells that perform similar functions are aggregated to form tissues. The cells of a tissue integrate in a highly coordinated fashion to perform a common function, due to the presence of nerve cells and sensory cells. This tissue level of organization is exhibited in diploblastic animals like cnidarians. The formation of tissues is the first step towards the evolution of body plan in animals (Hydra – Coelenterata).

TN Board 11th Bio Zoology Important Questions Chapter 2 Kingdom Animalia

Question 4.
What is the organ level of the Organization from which level of animals show this type of Organization?
Answer:
Different kinds of tissues aggregate to form an organ to perform a specific function. Organ, level of organization is a further advancement over the tissue level of organization and appears for the first time in the Phylum Platyhelminthes and seen in other higher phyla.

Question 5.
Make out the difference between the incomplete and complete digestive systems.
Answer:
The digestive system of Platyhelminthes has only a single opening to the exterior which serves as both mouth and anus and hence called an incomplete digestive system. From Aschelminthes to Chordates, all animals have a complete digestive system with two openings, the mouth, and the anus.

Question 6.
Name the embryonic layers of animals and on the basis of the origin and development.
Answer:
During embryonic development, the tissues and organs of animals originate from two or three embryonic germ layers. On the basis of origin and development, animals are classified into two categories: Diploblastic and Triploblastic.

Question 7.
What are diploblastic animals?
Answer:
Animals in which the cells are arranged in two embryonic layers the external ectoderm and internal endoderm are called diploblastic animals. In these animals, the ectoderm gives rise to the epidermis (the outer layer of the body wall) and the endoderm gives rise to the gastrodermis (tissue lining the gut cavity). An undifferentiated layer present between the ectoderm and endoderm is the mesoglea (Corals, Jellyfish, Sea anemone).

Question 8.
Define triploblastic animals for example.
Answer:
Animals in which the developing embryo has three germinal layers are called triploblastic, animals and consists of outer ectoderm (skin, hair, neuron, nail, teeth, etc), inner endoderm (gut, lung, liver), and middle mesoderm (muscle, bone, heart). Most of the triploblastic animals show organ system level of organization (Flatworms to Chordates).

TN Board 11th Bio Zoology Important Questions Chapter 2 Kingdom Animalia

Question 9.
What is meant by symmetry?
Answer:
Symmetry is the body arrangement in which parts that lie on the opposite side of an axis are identical. An animal’s body plan results from the animal’s pattern of development.

Question 10.
Define asymmetry for example.
Answer:
The simplest body plan is seen in sponges. They do not display symmetry and are asymmetrical. Such animals lack a definite body plan or are irregular shaped and any plane passing through the center of the body does not divide them into two equal halves (Sponges).

Question 11.
Write about the radial symmetry with a suitable diagram.
Answer:
Symmetrical animals have paired body parts that are arranged on either side of a plane passing through the central axis. When any plane passing through the central axis of the body divides an organism into two identical parts, it is called radial symmetry. Such radially symmetrical animals have a top and bottom side but no dorsal (back) and ventral (abdomen) side, no right and left side. They have a body plan in which the body parts are organized in a circle around an axis. It is the principal symmetry in diploblastic animals. Cnidarians such as sea anemone and corals are radially symmetrical. However, triploblastic animals like echinoderms eg. Starfish have five planes of symmetry and show Pentamerous radial symmetry:

Question 12.
What is bilateral and biradial symmetry? Give examples.
Answer:
Animals that possess two pairs of symmetrical sides are said to be biradially symmetrical. Biradial symmetry is a combination of radial and bilateral symmetry as seen in ctenophores. There are only two planes of symmetry, one through the longitudinal and sagittal axis and the other through the longitudinal and transverse axis. eg. Comb jellyfish – Pleurobrachia.
Animals that have two similar halves on either side of the central plane show bilateral symmetry. It is an advantageous type of symmetry in triploblastic animals, which helps in seeking food, locating mates and escaping from predators more efficiently. Animals that . have dorsal and ventral sides, anterior and posterior ends, right and left sides are bilaterally symmetrical.

TN Board 11th Bio Zoology Important Questions Chapter 2 Kingdom Animalia

Question 13.
Which animals are called acoelomates? Give example.
Answer:
Animals that do not possess a body cavity are called acoelomates. Since there is nobody cavity in these animals their body is solid without a perivisceral cavity, this restricts the free movement of internal organs (eg, Flatworms).

Question 14.
What is called coelomates?
Answer:
Eucoelom or true coelom is a fluid-filled cavity that develops within the mesoderm and is lined by mesodermal epithelium called the peritoneum. Such animals with a true body cavity are called coelomates or coelomates.

Question 15.
What is notochord? How the animals are classified based on. this presence or absence of notochord?
Answer:
The notochord is a mesodermally derived rod-like structure formed on the dorsal side during embryonic development in some animals. Based on the presence or absence of notochord, animals are classified as chordates (Cephalochordates, Urochordates, Pisces to Mammalia) and non chordates (Porifera to Hemichordata).

Question 16.
How the kingdom Animalia is classified broadly into sub-kingdoms?
Answer:
The animal kingdom is divided into two sub-kingdoms, the Parazoa and Eumetazoa based on their organization.

  1. Parazoa: These include the multicellular sponges and their cells are loosely aggregated and do not form tissues or organs.
  2. Eumetazoa: These include multicellular animals with well-defined tissues, which are organized as organs and organ systems. Eumetazoans include two taxonomic levels called grades. They include Radiata and Bilateria.

TN Board 11th Bio Zoology Important Questions Chapter 2 Kingdom Animalia

Question 17.
Write about the ‘Division level’ Classification of Bilateria.
Answer:
The eumetazoans other than Radiata, show organ level of organization and are bilaterally symmetrical and triploblastic. The grade Bilateria includes two taxonomic levels called Division.
Division: 1. Protostomia (Proto: first; stomium: mouth): Protostomia includes the eumetazoans in which the embryonic blastopore develops into the mouth. This division includes three subdivisions namely acoelomata, pseudocoelomata and schizocoelomata.
Division: 2. Deuterostomia (deuteron: secondary; stomium: mouth):, Eumetazoans in which anus is formed from or near the blastopore and the mouth is formed away from the blastopore.
It includes only one subdivision Enterocoelomata. They have a true coelom called enterocoel, formed from the archenteron.

Question 18.
Write about the special features of the phylum Porifera.
Answer:

  1. These pore-bearing animals are commonly called sponges. They are aquatic, mostly marine, asymmetrical and a few species live in freshwaters.
  2. They are primitive, multicellular, sessile animals with a cellular level of organization in which the cells are loosely arranged. They are either radially symmetrical or asymmetrical animals.
  3. They possess a water transport system or canal system where water enters through minute pores called Ostia lining the body wall through which the water enters into a central cavity (spongocoel) and goes out through the osculum.
  4. This water transport system is helpful in food gathering, circulation, respiration, and removal of waste.
  5. Choanocytes or collar cells are special flagellated cells lining the spongocoel and the canals.
  6. Nutrition is holozoic and intracellular.
  7. All sponges are hermaphrodites.
  8. They also reproduce asexually by fragmentation or gemmule formation and sexually by the formation of gametes.
  9. Development is indirect with different types of larval stages such as parenchyma and amphiblastula.
  10. eg. Sycon (Scypha), Spongilla (freshwater sponge).

Question 19.
Write about the canal system found in Porifera.
Answer:
They possess a water transport system or canal system where water enters through minute pores called Ostia lining the body wall through which the water enters into a central cavity (spongocoel) and goes out through the osculum.
This water transport system is helpful in food gathering, circulation, respiration, and removal of waste.

Question 20.
What is the function of cnidoblasts in phylum Cnidaria?
Answer:
The name Cnidaria is derived from cnidocytes or cnidoblasts with stinging cells or nematocyst on tentacles. Cnidoblasts are used for anchorage, defense, and capturing prey.

Question 21.
Differentiate polyp and medusa of coelenterates or cnidarians.
Answer:
Cnidarians exhibit two basic body forms, polyp, and medusa. The polyp forms are sessile and cylindrical (eg. Hydra, Adamsia), whereas the medusa is umbrella-shaped and free swimming.
The polyp represents the asexual generation and medusa represents the sexual generation. Polyps produce medusa asexually and medusa forms polyps sexually.

Question 22.
Write short notes about Ctenophora.
Answer:

  1. Ctenophora are exclusively marine, radially symmetrical, diploblastic animals with tissue level of organization.
  2. Though they are diploblastic, their mesoglea is different from that of cnidaria. It contains amoebocytes and smooth muscle cells.
  3. They have eight external rows of ciliated comb plates (comb jellies) which help in locomotion, hence commonly called comb jellies or sea walnuts.
  4. Bioluminescence (the ability of a living organism to emit light) is well marked in ctenophores.
  5. They possess special cells called lasso cells or colloblasts which help in food capture.
  6. Digestion is both extracellular and intracellular.
  7. Sexes are not separate (monoecious). They reproduce only by sexual means.
  8. (Fertilization is external and development is indirect and includes a larval stage called cydippid larva, eg. Pleurobrachia and Ctenoplana.

Question 23.
What is the type of digestive system found among flatworms?
Answer:
Some of the parasitic flatworms absorb nutrients directly from the host through their body surface. However, flatworms like liver fluke have an incomplete digestive system which means it has an only a single opening to the exterior which serves as both mouth and anus.

Question 33.
What are the fundamental distinct features of all chordates?
Answer:
All chordates possess three fundamental distinct features at some stage of their life cycle, they are:

  1. Presence of elongated rod like notochord below the nerve cord and above the alimentary canal. It serves as a primitive internal skeleton. It may persist throughout life in lancelets and lampreys. In adult vertebrates, it may be partially or completely replaced by backbone or vertebral column.
  2. A dorsal hollow or tubular fluid filled nerve cord lies above the notochord and below the dorsal body wall. It serve’s to integrate and co-ordinate the body functions. In higher chordates, the anterior end of the nerve cord gets enlarged to form the brain and the posterior part becomes the spinal cord, protected inside the vertebral column.
  3. Presence of pharyngeal gill slits or clefts in all chordates at some stage of their life cycle.
    It is a series of gill slits or clefts that perforates the walls of pharynx and appears during the development of every chordate. In aquatic forms, pharyngeal gill slits are vascular, lamellar and form the gills for respiration. In terrestrial chordates, traces of non-functional gill clefts appear during embryonic developmental stages and disappear later. Besides the above said features, chordates are bilaterally symmetrical, triploblastic, coelomates with organ system level of organisation; they possess post anal tail, closed circulatory system with a ventral myogenic heart except in Amphioxus.
