1. EUGLENA IS AN INTERMEDIATE BETWEEN PLANT
AND ANIMAL EXPLAIN?
Euglena has a locomotory structure in
the form of a flagellum, which is a property or characteristic of an animal. It
can act both, as an autotroph as it contains chlorophyll and heterotroph as it
feed on other substances. Also, in the presence of excess organic matter or
darkness, it can act as a saprophytic organism.

ECONOMIC
IMPORTANCE OF Tilapia zilli
Nutrition
- Tilapia is a high protein fish that is low in carbohydrates. It has a low sodium content and contains healthy levels of phosphorus and niacin. It is also rich in selenium and vitamin B12, an essential vitamin for healthy cell function.
Low
Mercury and Toxicity Levels
- Unlike other oily fish that function on carnivorous or high animal protein omnivorous diets, tilapia survive on vegetables, seaweed and cereal grains. This, along with their rapid growth rate, short lifespan and quick turnaround, contributes to the very low levels of mercury they contain. Mercury is introduced in very small levels and does not have time to accumulate in their systems like other large, oily fish.
Cooking
- Tilapia's mild flavor and light bodied texture make it the perfect fish for seasoning. Grilling and baking tilapia are the two most common methods of preparation. The versatility of flavor that can be applied to tilapia comes from marinades, oils and spices that all take well to the flaky, white meat. Tilapia is also available year-round, so you can always count on it being at the store when you want it for dinner.
Muscle
Building
- Tilapia is a key part of a muscle-building diet. For patients in recovery and therapy that are rebuilding muscle, people looking to build muscle to naturally burn body fat and people seeking strength-building foods, tilapia is used due to its rich levels of protein and low levels of fat. The USDA reports that tilapia contain 2g of fat per 3.5 ounces of fish. That's an amazingly low fat volume ratio.
Low
Fat & Calories
- Comparatively, tilapia contains about half of the calories of a similar quantity of salmon. For every gram of fat in tilapia, an equal quantity of salmon contains 7.9g of fat, and twice the calories. Tilapia is a lower-fat, non-oily fish that has fewer omega-3 acids than oily fish, but still provides many beneficial heart-healthy nutrients compared to other meat choices, such as chicken, pork or beef.
Economic
Benefits
- Because tilapia is a fast-growing fish that eats a diet of vegetables and cereal grains, it can be raised for much lower production costs, and turned over quicker for a profit. Its popularity stems largely from its affordable price, which is driven by tilapia's ability to grow quickly into marketable fish.
Aqucaulture
- These economic benefits contribute largely to tilapia's influence on worldwide aquaculture. Their large size, quick growing habits and popular flavor have made tilapia the third most important aquaculture fish. They are easy to farm because of their vegetarian diet, high stocking density and fast growth.

4. STATE THE GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
FOLLOWING
i. Platehelminthes
Some
defining characteristics of the phylum are that flatworms are:
i. acoelomate
(they have no body cavity),
ii. Triploblastic (the body has three
tissue layers),
iii. Bilaterally symmetric (they have symmetric
right and left sides and usually a definite head),
iv. They have organ systems, including an
excretory, digestive
ii. Molusca
- Unsegmented soft body with bilateral symmetry.
- Presence of an internal or external shell.
- A toothed tongue (made mostly of chitin) called the radula.
- A mantle which is a fold in the body wall that lines the shell.
- Muscular foot (and/or tentacles in some).
iii. Pisces
- Fish live in water.
- Fish have a backbone. They are vertebrates.
- Fish breathe using gills. They absorb oxygen through the gills.
- Almost all fish are cold - blooded.
- Some fish have scales.
5. OUTLINE
THE PHYLUM HIERARCHY STARTING FROM THE MOST SIMPLEST TO COMPLEX ACCORDING TO
EVOLUTIONARY TREND?
In biological classification, rank is the relative level of
a group of organisms (a taxon) in a taxonomic hierarchy. Examples of
taxonomic ranks are
Species,
Genus,
Family,
Order,
Class,
Phylum,
Kingdom,
Domain, etc.
