Topic: Phylum (biology)


  
 Biology - Factbites
Biology is the natural science that studies the thermal state of no-equilibrium known as Proton Motive Force, which derives from a specific position and movement of  the energy (quantum state), and the quasi-stable thermodynamic systems that experience it.
Biology, the study of life, is the fastest growing of the scientific disciplines, and is likely to be a dominant issue in the coming century.
Biology is a broad discipline which includes the subject areas of botany, zoology, microbiology, ecology, and genetics.

 The Biology of Animals video series
Each program treats evolution, phylum characteristics, major classes, larval development, and the natural history of easily-found organisms appropriate for classroom study.
In each group the emphasis is on: structure, behavior, larval development, and the kinds of adaptations that allow these amazing creatures to live in virtually all aquatic habitats.
This program uses underwater photography, microscopy, animation, SEM, and timelapse microscopy to provide a colorful overview of sponge biology with an emphasis on structure, taxonomy, ecology and evolution.

 The Biology Of Annelids
This technique shows many details of annelid functional biology: food being moved along the intestine by peristaltic contractions; the circulatory system including capillary beds where oxygen is picked up (worms breath through their skins); and excretory organs that act as miniature kidneys to remove urea.
Their elongate, segmented body plan and other body features have allowed annelids to specialize at burrowing through substrates, and to radiate into other ecological niches.
Featuring live photography of a diversity of annelid worms showing their behavior, structures and classification into three classes.

 101 Taxonomy - www.101science.com
Insects, which lack spinal cords, are classified in the phylum Arthropoda, the taxon that includes animals with jointed legs and a skeleton on the outside of the body.
No matter what method is used to classify an organism, its place in the hierarchy of life is not fixed.
Classification, in biology, identification, naming, and grouping of organisms into a formal system based on similarities such as internal and external anatomy, physiological functions, genetic makeup, or evolutionary history.

 Cnidaria Information
Their exact placement within the phylum is uncertain, however, and new studies suggest they may have developed from some other group of animals.
Finally, the extinct Conulariida may or may not be members of the Cnidaria.

 Phylum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phylum is one of the levels of scientific classification of organisms.
In linguistics the term phylum was introduced in comparative work and means "super-family" of languages possibly being related.
This is a disambiguation page, a list of pages that otherwise might share the same title.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylum

  
 M30.htm
The phylum also provides some of the most familiar animals, such as snails, clams, mussels, squids, and octopus (which, like the arthropods, are well known because they're good to eat).
The phylum Mollusca also includes lesser known forms such as the chitons, tusk shells, solenogasters, among others.
The molluscs rival the arthropods in their diversity of body forms and sizes, as well as their ecological success.

 lb6pg6
The body plan, digestive systems, and methods of reproduction in these organisms are quite different compared to planaria considering their parasitic lifestyle.
In contrast to the cniderians, flatworms are bilaterally symmetrical animals, with distinct anterior and posterior ends and right and left sides.
Use Figure 6 to assist you to examine slide #64 (the whole mount of a planarian) to identify some of the reproductive organs.

 Phylum (biology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The best known animal phyla are the Mollusca, Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Annelida, Arthropoda, Echinodermata, and Chordata, the phylum humans belong to.
(Although the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature allows the use of the term "Phylum", the term "Division" is almost always used by botanists.) Phyla represent the largest generally accepted groupings of animals with certain evolutionary traits, although the phyla themselves may sometimes be grouped into superphyla (e.g.
Phylum (plural: phyla) is a taxon used in the classification of animals, adopted from the Greek phylai the clan-based voting groups in Greek city-states.

 Definition of Phylum (biology)
The most well known phyla of kingdom Animalia are the Mollusca, Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Annelida, Arthropoda, Echinodermata, and Chordata, our own phylum.
The taxonomic system recognizes the generally accepted grouping of animals with certain evolutionary traits into taxa below the kingdom level, called phyla (the plural of phylum).

 phylum - definition from Biology-Online.org
Each kingdom is subdivided into Phylums which are in turn differentiated into classes of organism.
(biology) the major taxonomic group of animals and plants; contains classes.
(Science: biology) The second highest taxonomic classification for the kingdom Animalia (animals), between kingdom level and class level.

 Introduction to Porifera
The approximately 5,000 living sponge species are classified in the phylum Porifera, which is composed of three distinct groups, the Hexactinellida (glass sponges), the Demospongia, and the Calcarea (calcareous sponges).
Sponges are characterized by the possession of a feeding system unique among animals.
Since then, sponges have been conspicuous members of many fossil communities; the number of described fossil genera exceeds 900.

 Scientific classification : Phylum (biology)
Scientific classification is a means used by biologists to organize each of the organisms on the planet, based primarily on evolutionary similarity as determined by visual observation.
The suffixes used to form these names depend on the kingdom, and sometimes the phylum and class, as follows:
Taxa above the genus level are often given names derived from the type genus.

 Open Directory - Science:Biology:Zoology
The Chordate category includes sites devoted to the organisms in the Phylum Craniata (our phylum), Phylum Cephalochordata, and Phylum Urochordata.
This category is for sites devoted to the scientific study of the largest of all animal phyla, Phylum Arthropoda.
This phylum includes the insects, spiders, mites and ticks, crustaceans, centipedes, millipedes, isopods, and trilobites.
