Plus One Animal Kingdom NCERT Questions and Answers
Question 1.
What is the difference between direct and indirect development?
Answer:
1. Direct Development:
In direct development the young animal resembles an adult. There is no intermediate stage.
2. Indirect Development:
In indirect development there is intermediate stage, like larval stage. For example, frog before being developed into adult passthrough a tadpole stage. This is the case of indirect development.
Question 2.
What are the peculiar features that you find in parasitic platyhelminthes?
Answer:
In parasitic platyhelminthes hooks and suckers are present. Suckers help the parasite, in sucking the blood from the host.
Question 3.
What are the reasons that you can think of for the arthropods to constitute the largest group of the animal kingdom?
Answer:
Arthropods are the first phylum to have well developed systems to carry out different activities. There is distinct system for respiration, locomotion and reproduction. Their survival capacity is great because of elaborate system. This has helped them survive in diverse conditions. They can live in water, on land and in air.
This can be one of the reasons why arthropods are the largest group among the animal kingdom. Another reason is their early development compared to animals of higher phylum.
Question 4.
Water vascular system is the characteristic of which group of the following:
(a) Porifera
(b) Ctenophora
(c) Echinodermata
(d) Chordata
Answer:
(c) Echinodermata
Question 5.
“All vertebrates are chordates but all chordates are not vertebrates”. Justify the statement.
Answer:
All chordates have notochord present in some stage of life.
The difference between vertebrates and nonvertebrates is as follows:
In vertebrates the notochord is present in the embryonic stage. This is replaced by a vertebral column during the adult stages.
Question 6.
How important is the presence of air bladder in Pisces?
Answer:
Presence of air-bladder in Pisces helps in buoyancy. This means that members of pisces don’t have to keep on swimming to remain floating.
Question 7.
What are the modifications that are observed in birds that help them fly?
Answer:
Following modification in birds help them fly:
- Pneumatic or hollow bones make for a light weight skeleton.
- Fore limbs are modified into wings to assist in flight.
- Excertion of urine and faeces is through single opening facilitating weight reduction.
- Aerodynamic body helps in flying.
Question 8.
Could the number of eggs or young ones produced by an oviparous and viviparous mother be equal? Why?
Answer:
Usually number of eggs produced by oviparous mothers is greater than number of young ones produced by viviparous mothers. The main reason for this is the need of resources required for development of the embryo.
In oviparous the major part of development of the embryo takes place outside the uterus. This makes lesser burden on the mother.
On the other hand in viviparous animals the development takes place inside the uterus so lesser number of young ones can be successfully incubated. Moreover, once eggs are outside they are at risk of getting eaten by some predator because of their immobility, so need of more eggs is there to ensure continuity of progeny.
