Question

Match the animals given under column A with their respective classification group given under column B:

Column A	Column B
(i) Sponge	(a) Amphibia
(ii) Snail	(b) Reptilia
(iii) Butterfly	(c) Echinodermata
(iv) Toad	(d) Mollusca
(v) Lizard	(e) Arthropoda
(vi) Starfish	(f) Porifera

Accepted Answer

(i)-(f)

The sponge is an invertebrate animal and belongs to the phylum Porifera. While most sponges are found in the ocean, numerous species are also found in fresh water and estuaries. Its body bears numerous pores which help to draw the water into the body cavity. These animals capture food and exchange gases from the water drawn into the body cavity. The water after passing through several channels is expelled out of the body through a bigger opening.

(ii)-(d)

The snail is an invertebrate animal and belongs to the phylum Mollusca. It has a soft and unsegmented body. It locomotes with the help of its muscular foot. The soft body is protected by a hard calcareous covering called the shell.

(iii)-(e)

A butterfly is an invertebrate animal that belongs to the phylum Arthropoda. Its body is divided into head, thorax, and abdomen. Its body is covered by a chitinous exoskeleton. It belongs to the class Insecta, and thus it has three pairs of thoracic appendages and wings.

(iv)-(a)

Toad is a vertebrate as it has a vertebral column on the dorsal side of its body. Toad belongs to the class Amphibia of the phylum Vertebrata. They can live both in water and on land. They can breathe through their skin or with their lungs. They have moist glandular skin which promotes gaseous exchange.

(v)-(a)

The lizard is a vertebrate animal and belongs to the class Reptilia. It has dry scaly skin. It can crawl on its four short legs. They are terrestrial animals and breathe with the help of their lungs.

(vi)-(c)

Starfish is an invertebrate that belongs to the phylum Echinodermata. Their bodies are radially symmetrical. They have a spiny exoskeleton. They locomote with the help of a special organ called tube-feet.
