Pairs of biology students have created PowerPoint presentations to teach and learn about each of the 10 phyla that make up the Kingdom Animalia. Comments to this posting will include interesting tidbits about the different phyla, including some photos of cool organisms!
My kingdom I had was Annelida which is a group commonly referred to as segmented worms, and they are found worldwide from the deepest marine sediments to the soils in our city parks and yards. Through most of the 20th century Annelida was split into 3 major groups like Polychaeta, oligochaeta ( Earth worms etc.) and Hirudinea (leeches)
Me and my partner Christa Pullins were assigned the task of finding information on Phylum ctenophora.Most people already know of the typical jelly fish inwhich you normally find washed up on the sea shore, but we aimed our focus mainly on the COMB JELLIES also known as "sea gooseberries", though they seem to favor jellyfish they are not related. They are normally found far in deep sea.Infact there are about 90 species of comb jellies.As far as scientist know there are 100-150 species all together of the ctenophra. Not only are comb jellies unique in the way they swim by means of plates of cilia(which are the combs),but some specie are so beautiful in the way they are able to make blue and green coloured lights.some of the characteristics Ctenophora is that they all are carnivorous, are either biradial or radially symmetrical and they reproduce asexual or sexual as hermaphrodites.Phylum ctenophora has been a very interesting topic to work on, and if you keep searching deeper that the sea you can find great information!
I worked with Antoinette on my kingdom animalia project and we were asigned Phylum annelida. Annelida is a group of more than 9,000 worms and leech species. They are as common as earth worms and as rare as feather duster worms. Looking up research on annelida is a bit interesting. i found out that leeches are hermaphoditic. so they produce sexually.
Annelida are very interesting because eventhough though they are in the same kingdom. they are very different. some live under water, some live on rocks, some live in dirt.
Annelids are put into three major classes. The polychaeta, oligochaeta(earth wroms), ad Hirudinea(leeches). Annelids can also get really big. they can reach up to 54 inches.
Me and my partner Shanice did our presentation on Mollusca. Mollusca is usually a has a soft body with a hard shell. They include snails, clams, mussels, squids, octopi, chitons, and periwinkles. They are very interesting because most of them you can eat but others are very dangerous. They are marine animals meaning they live under water.
All species in the phylum chordata are vertebrates, we (humans) are included in this phylum. We are also the most complex structures in the kingdom Animalia.
Me and my partner brandon did a powerpoint on arthropoda. We talked about the different types of arthropods such as coconut crabs, black widow spiders, and butterflies. All three of these arthropods fall in different categories such as aerial, marine, and land arthropods, you can use your brains to figure out which one goes in what category. Arthropods are animals belonging to the Phylum Arthropoda and include the insects, arachnids, crustaceans and allies. They are the largest phylum in the Animal Kingdom with more than a million described species making up more than 80% of all described living species,and a fossil record reaching back to the late proterozoic era. Arthropods are common throughout marine, freshwater, terrestrial, and even aerial environments, as well as including various symbiotic and parasitic forms.
The Phylum i had was Nematodes also know as round worms. There are thousands of nematodes. Not only are there more than 15,000 known species of roundworms, but there are many thousands of individual nematodes in even a single handful of garden soil. Some species of roundworm may contain more than 27 million eggs at one time and lay more than 200,000 of them in a single day.
Hi Ms Thomas my name is Jamahal Redmond in class 8,9. I learned that the Cnidaria phylum can take many forms. They can reproduce sexually and asexually. That there are more than 1,000 species of Cnidaria known to man. They also are only found in water. The three classes of Cnidaria are Athozoa includes anemones. The next one is Scyphozoa which includes jellyfish. The last class was Hydrozoa which holds Obelia, Aequorea, Portuguese Man o' War. These are the things I learned about my phylum Cnidaria
My kingdom I had was ARTHROPODA. It it commonly about spiders, crustoceans, a littlebit of centipedes and millipedes which are in their own class. In worked with Portia she did a great job as my partner also she brought alo to the table for our project which is a hopeful a A.
my partner and i (veasna) did our project on nematoda. nematoda is a series of bacteria that goes into your system and eats out your intestines. some of these phylum nemotodes are called ancyclostoma, ascaris and enterobius. several of these nemotodes can lay up to a certain amount of eggs and when these eggs grow they start to eat out your body systems and dont stop until you die. that is what our project on phylum nemotoda was about. arlette garcia
The Topic me and my partner Lamont had was Porifera. They are primitive, sessile, mostly marine, water dwelling filter feeders that pump water through their bodies to filter out particles of food matter. Sponges represent the simplest of animals. With no true tissues (parazoa), they lack muscles, nerves, and internal organs.
The kingdom my partner, Amie, and I researched is Cnidaria. We learned about the subphylums, Anthozoa (Sea pens and various corals), Cubozoa (box jellyfish), Hydrozoa (or hydras) and the most common Scyphozoa (the common and true jellyfish). As you should already know, Cnidaria or commonly called 'jellyfish'are marine creatures found in the Atlantic Oceans and the Pacific Ocean. Some species have just a polp, or a dome top and no tentacles while others have both.
The Phylum I did was Echinodermata. the 5 most popular species in this phylum are starfish, sea cucumber, brittle star, feather star and sea urchin's. the one i found most interesting was the cucumber because the breath through their anus. every species in this phylum have 5 fold symmetry and do not possess an external skeleton or a heart. The way this phylum reproduce is by releasing sperm and ova into ocean waters, overall his was a very interesting phylum.
My kingdom was Annelida. My kingdom was really based off of worms and things of that matter. This group is usually referred to as segmented worms. My group is split into 3 different groups such as Polychaeta, Oligochatae and Hirudinea.
Tiana and I were assigned Chordata. Chordata are animals with vertabrates. These animals are Fishes, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds, and Mammals. Our project was very informative. For example, I didn't know that all these animal belonged to one kingdom.
What I did was a powerpoint on playthum because it seem it something that was different in my point of view. This was about most flatworms that are in four different classes. The first three different classes are parasitic are often found in parisites and that is real bad because some of these worms can get into your body and really kill you in any amount of time when you don't know. This was a great topic for me that I did. These worms can kill your organisms.
Arthropods are animals in Phylum Arthropoda. The phylum includes insects, arachnids, crustaceans, etc. They have a dorsal heart and a ventral nervous system. All arthropods have a hard exoskeleton made of chitin, a polysaccharide, that gives the species a physical protection and resistance to desiccation.The phylum contains three subphylums: Chelicerata, Crustacea, and Uniramia. Arthropods are known to be the most successful animals on the planet. They have conquered land, sea and air, and make up over three-fourths of all currently known living and fossil organisms, or over one million species in all. There are tens of millions of species of arthropods that are actually living. Arthropods are cold-blooded and their body temperature depends on the temperature of their environment.
CHORDATA!!!! The Phylum Chordata includes the well-known vertebrates (fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals). The vertebrates and hagfishes together comprise the taxon Craniata. The remaining chordates are the tunicates (Urochordata), lancelets (Cephalochordata), and, possibly, some odd extinct groups. With few exceptions, chordates are active animals with bilaterally symmetric bodies that are longitudinally differentiated into head, trunk and tail. The most distinctive morphological features of chordates are the notochord, nerve cord, and visceral clefts and arches.
I was not present to particapate in the assignment. But from some of the presentations I've heard kingdom Animalia is very complex and different. Even somethings in the same category were very much different. I have learned alot about phylums and the Animalia Kingdom, but I hope I could get a better understanding of them. Judith Dye
Name: Christa Pullins Biology Class: 6/7 Date: 05/19/08 Phylum Ctenophora What I did my project on was the kingdom ctenophora. I found a number of things about them during my research along with my partner, Renee Jackson. We found that they are about he 3rd most simplest kingdom. I found that they are most commonly called comb jellies, which are NOT classified as jelly fish because they do not sting. They have a lot of characteristics. Their bodies can be radially (no clear left and right, the rest of the body surrounds the central axis), or biradial (obvious left & right sides) symmetrical. The jellies can be multicellular, with few bodily tissues, a few organs and organelles. Their bodies contains an internal cavity and a mouth and anal pores. They uses the combs(swiggly things/arms) to swim in the marine waters. The comb jellies reproduction cycle is mostly sexual as hermaphrodites(have both body parts), and occasionally asexual. They live in marine environments, which are basically salty waters and deep oceans. They all are carnivorous which means that they eat meat.
They are a small phylum, which contains about 90 species of comb jellies. There are between 100 to 150 species of Ctenophora as far as scientist have discovered, and they are usually found further out in the deep sea in Otago Shelf, New Zealand.
Many species of ctenophora are transparent(some with colors). Some species can actually be very beautiful, having the ability to produce red, blue, and green colored lights.
Their common names are as you have heard comb jellies, and sea gooseberries. Their scientific name is pleurobrachia pileus. Their kingdom is animalia. Their phylum is Ctenophora. Their class is Tentaculata. Their order is Cydippida. Their family is Pleurobrachiidae. Their genus is Pleurobrachia and their species is pileus.
I have learned a lot about these "comb jellies" and about the world that they live in. I think that doing a a powerpoint was a very effective way to teach the class with out a "teacher"!
The Mollusca phylum is one of the largest phyla of animals, there is about a total of 47,000 living species. The mollusk phylum is made up of animals like slugs, snails, snails, octopuses, squid, clams, scallops, oysters, and chitons. Mollusk are broken down into 8 classes: The Gastropoda class is where snails, and sea slugs fall under, Pelecypodas are clams, mussels, oysters, and scallops, the Cephalopoda is squids, octopus, nautilus, and cuttlefish, the Aplacophora consist of worm-like mollusk, that have no shell, eyes, or tentacles, the Monoplacophora have single cap-like shells, the Polyplacophora are flattened elonged animals, then there is the Scaphopoda that have have a tube like shell, lastly is the Caudofoveta that are worm-like mollusk the live at buried down on the sea floor.
The phylum that I studied was the phylum Ctenaphora. I learned that reproduction is mostly sexual as hermaphrodites, occasionally asexual. All are carnivorous. They live in marine environments. Ctenophora is a small phylum containing about 100 species of generally small and delicate animals that have gelatinous bodies resembling jellyfish. They can be found easily far out to sea as well as on shores. The two most common species are the melon jellyfish and the sea gooseberry. They can be found all over the world.
marissa and I did a powerpoint on the phylum mollusca. There are around 100,000 extant species within the phylum with an estimated 70,000 extinct species. They range widely in size from micromolluskan snails and clams to larger organisms such as the Colossal Squid, believed to be the world's largest invertebrate. Molluscs are typically divided into ten taxonomic classes, of which two are entirely extinct. Class Cephalopoda molluscs such as squid, cuttlefish and octopus are among the most neurologically-advanced of all invertebrate.
My kingdom I had was Porifera which is an animal phylum consisting of the organisms commonly called sponges. It is the only phylum of the animal subkingdom Parazoa and represents the least evolutionarily advanced group of the animal kingdom, which basicly it means that it is a sponge.
The kingdom i researched and present was chordata and i learned a lot about this phylum. Every specie in this phylum contains a back bone or vertebrate. This phylum stems from humans to worms. Most of the species that are known have backbones. My partner and i created a power point about the chordata, with some pictures of the chordata and some history on it. i believe that we did a good job explaining it because its very difficult to explain our topic because of how braud it was.
My kingdom was Ctenophores, a ctenphores is a comb jellie (a jellie fish)ctenophores are only very distantly related to hydromedusae and scyphomedusae.The ctenophore body exhibits bi-radial symmetry. Ctenophore live in most marine habitats. http://jellieszone.com/images/beroe2.jpg
