You must know about 5 kingdom classification

  1. In the classification system Linnaeus and R h Whittaker gives their full potential for classify all organisms
  2. Linnaeus classify organisms till plants and animals .He does not distinguish between eukaryotes and prokaryotes, unicellular and multicellular organisms,
  3. Photosynthetic green(algae) and non photosynthetic (fungi)

R H Whittaker proposed five kingdom of classification
Which are as follows

  1. Kingdom Monera
  2. Kingdom Protista
  3. Kingdom Fungi
  4. Kingdom Plnatae
  5. Kingdom Animalia


Kingdom animalia includes 11 phylum's 
   


  1. Phylum porifera
  2. Phylum coelenterata
  3. Phylum ctenophora
  4. Phylum platyhelminthes
  5. Phylum ashelminthes
  6. Phylum annelida
  7. Phylum arthropoda
  8. Phylum mollusca
  9. Phylum echinodermata
  10. Phylum hemichordata
  11. Phylum chordata

Phylum porifera

It is the first phylum of kingdom Animalia.Members of this phylum are commonly known as sponges

Examples of porifera are as follows

1. Sycon (sypha)
2.spongilla(freshwater sponge)
3.Euspongia(Bath sponge)



Features of phylum porifera are given below

1.They are generally marine

2.Mostly asymmetrical animals

3.They have a cellular level of  organisation

4.Sponges have a water transport or canal system

5. Digestion is intracellular

6.The body is supported by Skeleton made up of spicules or spongin fibres

7.Sexes are not separate (Hermaphrodite)
i.e eggs and sperms are produced by the same individual

8.Fertilisation is internal and development is indirect having a larval stage

Do you know the common disease pathogens

A wide range of organisms belonging to bacteria, viruses ,fungi ,protozoans ,helminthes etc. Could cause diseases in man Such pathogens can enter our body  by various means multiply and interfere with normal activities resulting in morphological and functional damage 1.Typhoid Salmonella typhi is a pathogenic bacterium which causes typhoid fever in human beings.These  pathogens generally enter in the small intestine through food and  water contaminated with them migrate to other organs through blood Sustained high fever (39-40 c) , weakness, stomach pain , constipation , headache , and loss of appetite are some of the common symptoms of this disease. Complications:- Intestinal perforation and death may occur in severe cases 2.Common cold Rhino viruses represent one such group of viruses which cause one of the most infectious human ailments the common cold.     They infect the nose respiratory passage but not the lungs .The common cold is characterised by nasal con
