Animal Frenzy!!!

Hello readers! Welcome to Blogitty Blog-Blog where we, the bloggers (Pawprints, Di-Eco dude, Patatas, Berry berry gleek, and Spazmboi) will be blogging about our awesome experiences in Science class and in our field trips. So, first of all, we're gonna blog about our...3rd quarter Science CEO which is well, about animals. And that's why the title of this blog is..ANIMAL FRENZY!

So, what's this 3rd quarter CEO all about?

Well, our CEO is all about animal biodiversity. So each of us were assigned different animals. We had to report on these different animals that we were assigned to. Patatas had to report on Phylum Echinodermata while Spazmboi had to report on Phylum Nematoda. Kingdom Eubacteria was reported by Di-eco dude and Sub phylum Chordata was reported by Berry berry gleek. Pawprints had to report on Phylum Annelida.

We prepared for this CEO by researching on our topics and also by preparing handouts and a powerpoint presentation. Of course, we encountered problems like having incorrect data. But that was solved because we consulted with our awesome teacher, Sir Rye and he corrected our mistakes and wrong data.

After doing this project, we learned how important animals can be in our lives and how important they are too to Mother Nature.

So, we should take care of these creatures that God gave us because they make the world beautiful and they're important..right?

Well, that's all for now. We'll be posting many more blogs about our experiences and epic adventures..so keep reading our blogs! 

 Here are some simple facts on the Phylums we reported on

         Phylum Nematoda  Or Also known as  Roundworms

>They're round bodied, elongate, cylindrical, and unsegmented. They're bodies are covered with a thick, chemical resistant cuticle, capable of being shedded.

> Nema derives from the word thread and Eidos for form

>Why are they important? So we know what is bad for our body!

        

 Phylum Echinodermata

>  Echinoderms have spiney structures

> Echinoderms have tube feet for absorption.

>They have a nerve-net nervous system

>Why are they important? They help regulate the population of some organisms, and they can extract organic matter!        

 Phylum Chordata

A. urochordata- small marine creatures

>bilateral and eats planktons

>swims using motorchord and live on ocean floor

>contains useful chemical compounds(didemnins, aplidine, trabectidine) which are effective aginst various types of cancer

B. cephalocordata -smal fishlike marine inverebrates

>bilateral and eats planktons and diatoms

>can swim backward but spends most time buried halfway in sand

>lives in sandy bottoms from 3.28-82,02 ft in depth

>supply species to for educational and research institutions species

cephalochordata reproduces sexual with gonochoristic and the tunicate(urochordata) reproduces both sexualy and asexually

>Why are they impotant? They're important because they have effective chemical compounds against cancer.

Phylum Annelid " or the Segmented Worms"

> Each segment has a function

> Annelids are multicellular

>They have Muscular,Digestive,Nervous,Circulatory,Respiratory,Reproductive, and excretory Systems

>They have setae or a bristle-like structure instead of having a skeleton

>Why are they important? They're important for blood-cleansing and soil fertility!

Phylum Eubacteria

>Subgroups : Proteobacteria, Cyanobacteria, Gram-Positive Bacteria,Sphirochetes,Chlamydiae

>They are autotrophic meaning they produce their own food which can be done through photosynthesis and chemosynthesis,but some are heterotrophic meaning they also collect food which they can do by feeding off other organisms.

>They can be in either coccus,bacillus,Spirillium,Spirochete, or Vibrio in their forms.

>They reproduce asexually by Binary Fission, a process, in which a bacteria splits into two cells.

>They can reproduce Sexually by conjugation, a process by which bacteria join to exchange genetic bacteria.

>Why are they important? well, they are decomposers, they produce methane, they help digest food and prevent harmful bacteria, they are used in environmental  recycling and clean-ups, and they can produce fuel, food, and medication.

And note that these information on the phylas were taken from the reports of the members of this blog.

ENJOY!
