  • 2. 

    A jellyfish belongs to this phylum.

    • Chordata

    • Arthropoda

    • Cnideria

    • Porifera

    Correct Answer
    A. Cnideria
    Explanation
    Cnideria is the correct answer because jellyfish belong to the phylum Cnideria. This phylum includes animals that have specialized stinging cells called cnidocytes, which jellyfish use to capture prey and defend themselves. Other examples of animals in the Cnideria phylum include sea anemones and corals.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    If you found an animal that has an exoskeleton and jointed legs, which phylum would you put it in?

    • Arthropoda

    • Echinodermata

    • Platyhelminthes

    • Mollusca

    Correct Answer
    A. Arthropoda
    Explanation
    Arthropoda is the correct answer because it is the only phylum that includes animals with both an exoskeleton and jointed legs. Echinodermata is incorrect because although it has an exoskeleton, it does not have jointed legs. Platyhelminthes and Mollusca are also incorrect because they do not have an exoskeleton or jointed legs.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

     A starfish belongs to which phylum of invertebrates?

    • Annelida

    • Mollusca

    • Arthropoda

    • Echinodermata

    Correct Answer
    A. Echinodermata
    Explanation
    A starfish belongs to the phylum Echinodermata. This phylum includes marine animals that have radial symmetry and a water vascular system. Starfish are characterized by their five arms, tube feet, and ability to regenerate lost body parts. They are not part of the phylum Annelida, which includes segmented worms, or the phylum Mollusca, which includes animals like snails and clams. They also do not belong to the phylum Arthropoda, which includes insects and crustaceans.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Remember when we dissected a clam in class? What phylum does a clam belong to?

    • Nematoda

    • Mollusca

    • Gastropoda

    • Arthropoda

    Correct Answer
    A. Mollusca
    Explanation
    A clam belongs to the phylum Mollusca. This phylum includes animals with soft bodies, usually protected by a hard shell. Clams have a two-part shell and are classified as bivalve mollusks. They are known for their ability to filter feed and live in marine or freshwater environments.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which of these animals is sessile?

    • Starfish

    • Shrimp

    • Sponge

    • Earthworm

    Correct Answer
    A. Sponge
    Explanation
    A sessile animal is one that is permanently attached to a surface and does not move around. Among the given options, a sponge is the only animal that fits this description. Sponges are filter-feeding organisms that attach themselves to surfaces such as rocks or coral reefs. They do not have the ability to move from one place to another, making them sessile. In contrast, starfish, shrimp, and earthworm are all capable of movement and are not considered sessile animals.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    A spider is most closely related to which of these arthropods?

    • A scorpion

    • A beetle

    • A crab

    • An ant

    Correct Answer
    A. A scorpion
    Explanation
    A spider is most closely related to a scorpion because both belong to the class Arachnida. They share similar characteristics such as having eight legs and two body segments. Additionally, spiders and scorpions both have venomous glands and use their pedipalps for capturing prey. While beetles, crabs, and ants are also arthropods, they belong to different classes and are not as closely related to spiders as scorpions are.

    All of these animals are arthropods except for...

    • Butterflies

    • Millipedes

    • Lobsters

    • Snails

    Correct Answer
    A. Snails
    Explanation
    All of the animals listed in the question (butterflies, millipedes, lobsters) belong to the phylum Arthropoda, which is characterized by having jointed legs and a segmented body. However, snails belong to the phylum Mollusca, not Arthropoda. Mollusks have a soft body and typically a hard shell, and they are not classified as arthropods.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which of these animals is a Nematode?

    • Roundworm

    • Flatworm

    • Leech

    • Earthworm

    Correct Answer
    A. Roundworm
    Explanation
    A nematode is a type of animal that belongs to the phylum Nematoda, commonly known as roundworms. Therefore, the correct answer is roundworm. Flatworms, leeches, and earthworms belong to different phyla and are not considered nematodes.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which of these is not a cephalopod in the phylum Mollusca?

    • Sea cucumber

    • Octopus

    • Squid

    • Cuttlefish

    Correct Answer
    A. Sea cucumber
    Explanation
    Sea cucumber is not a cephalopod in the phylum Mollusca. While octopus, squid, and cuttlefish are all cephalopods, sea cucumbers belong to a different class within the phylum Mollusca called Holothuroidea. Sea cucumbers have a different body structure and feeding habits compared to cephalopods. They are characterized by their elongated, cylindrical bodies and are known for their ability to expel their internal organs as a defense mechanism.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Earthworms belong in the same phylum as...

    • Centipedes

    • Flatworms

    • Leeches

    • Lancelets

    Correct Answer
    A. Leeches
    Explanation
    Earthworms belong in the same phylum as leeches because both are classified as members of the phylum Annelida. This phylum is characterized by segmented bodies and a closed circulatory system. While centipedes and flatworms belong to different phyla (Arthropoda and Platyhelminthes, respectively), lancelets belong to the phylum Chordata, which includes vertebrates.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Which of the following is not a Cniderian?

    • Sea Anemone

    • Coral

    • Nautilus

    • Portuguese Man of War

    Correct Answer
    A. Nautilus
    Explanation
    Nautilus is not a Cniderian because it belongs to the class Cephalopoda, which is a group of marine animals that includes squids, octopuses, and cuttlefish. Cniderians, on the other hand, are a group of invertebrate animals that include sea anemones, corals, and jellyfish.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Barnacles belong to which phylum and order?

    • Mollusca, bivalves

    • Arthropoda, arachnids

    • Arthropoda, crustaceans

    • Mollusca, gastropods

    Correct Answer
    A. Arthropoda, crustaceans
    Explanation
    Barnacles belong to the phylum Arthropoda and the order Crustacea. This is because barnacles have jointed appendages and a hard exoskeleton, which are characteristics of arthropods. Additionally, barnacles are crustaceans, a specific group within the phylum Arthropoda that includes animals such as crabs, lobsters, and shrimp. Therefore, the correct answer is Arthropoda, crustaceans.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    We have dissected something from all of these phyla except for...

    • Arthropoda

    • Annelida

    • Mollusca

    • Cnideria

    • Echinodermata

    Correct Answer
    A. Cnideria
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Cnideria. This is because the question states that something has been dissected from all of the given phyla except for one. The phyla listed are Arthropoda, Annelida, Mollusca, Cnideria, and Echinodermata. The other four phyla (Arthropoda, Annelida, Mollusca, and Echinodermata) have all been dissected, leaving Cnideria as the only phylum that has not been dissected.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    One of these animals is not a filter feeder. Which is it?

    • Marine worms

    • Clam

    • Coral

    • Starfish

    Correct Answer
    A. Starfish
    Explanation
    Starfish is not a filter feeder. While marine worms, clams, and coral are all filter feeders that obtain their food by filtering water and extracting small particles, starfish are not. Starfish are predators and scavengers, feeding on other animals such as mollusks and small fish. They do not rely on filtering water for their food source.
