Second-largest phylum in number of species- over 100,000 described.
Ecologically widespread- marine, freshwater, terrestrial (gastropods very successful on land)
Variety of body plans (therefore, many classes within the phylum)
Variety in body size- from ~1 mm to ~18 m (60 feet). 80% are under 5 cm, but many are large and therefore significant as food for man.
There are main 5 classes of living echinoderms:
crinoids (sea lilies and feather stars); asteroids (STARFISH); ophiuroids (brittle stars); echinoids (SEA URCHINS, etc); and holothuroids (sea cucumbers).
Echinoderms have been well preserved as FOSSILS; all existing classes and several others now extinct were present in the Ordovician (505-438 million years ago). They may have originated in the Precambrian (over 570 million years ago).
Common name : sea lilies, Sea Stars(STARFISH), sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and brittle stars.
Habitat
Echinoderms occupy all habitats including coral reefs, mangroves, seagrass and soft-bottom areas.
Except for a few species which inhabit brackish waters, all echinoderms are benthic organisms found in marine environments. Echinoderms inhabit depths ranging from shallow waters at tide lines to the deep sea.(Barnes, 1987; Brusca and Brusca, 2003; University of Alabama Center for Communication and Educational Technology, 2000; Waggoner, 1999)
Habitat Regions
• temperate
• tropical
• polar
• saltwater or marine
Aquatic Biomes
• brackish water
Other Habitat Features
• intertidal or littoral
GeoGraphy and eco-system
Geographic Range
Mainly a marine group, echinoderms are found in all the oceans. (Brusca and Brusca, 2003)
BIOGEOGRAPHIC REGIONS
• arctic ocean
• indian ocean
• atlantic ocean
• pacific ocean
• mediterranean sea
Eco-system
Sea urchins are among the main herbivores on reefs and there is usually a fine balance between the urchins and the kelp and other algae on which they graze. A diminution of the numbers of predators (otters, lobsters and fish) can result in an increase in urchin numbers causing overgrazing of kelp forests with the result that an alga-denuded "urchin barren" forms.

Ecosystem Roles
Echinoderms are usually intricate parts of their ecosystems. Many asteroids are keystone species. Sea urchins, if not controlled by predators, may overgraze their habitat. Asteroids have several commensals, including polychaetes that feed on leftovers from the sea star's prey items. (Barnes, 1987; Brusca and Brusca, 2003)
Ecosystem Impact: keystone species
Sponges,are pore bearing,multicellular,diploblastic animals that belong to phylum Porifera
Body of all sponges is perforated by large number of pores called ostia through which water enters Inside body and flows through a system of criss-crossing canals known as canal system
Three main types of canal systems in the order of increasing complexity are Asconoid, Syconoid and Leuconoid type.
Small phylum of the Kingdom protista, consisting of mostly unicellular aquatic algae. Many of these organisms exhibit characteristics similar to both plants and animals. organisms of this phylum are also called Euglenozoa, euglenoids, euglenophytes among others.
This is a comprehensive presentation. It will guide you in identifying Euglena.
paramecium is a microscopic organism. it is an protozoan that comes under ciliates. they are even visible under naked eyes. Paramecium are unicellular organism they lives in aquatic environment. they are used as live feed for fishes.

Prions are infectious agents that is composed of single sialoglycoproteins called PrP 27-30. They do not have nucleic acids, instead they have amino acids which are 145. their mass is about 27000-30000 Da.Prions are caused due to misfolding of proteins , misfolding of proteins leads to the formation of various neurodegenerative diseases like kuru , Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), fatal famalia insomnia etc.The word prion was coined by Stanley B. Prusiner which means proteins and infection in simple words we can say that it is a disease caused due to misfolding of proteins. PrPsc or Prion protein scrapie is the misfolded form of protein which is responsible for causing this disease. it may be acquired or produced by altered PrPc genes.(Prion protein cellular). First the PrPsc reacts with PrPc on the cell surface and then PrPsc converts the cellular protein into scrapie form i.e PrPsc form. The new PrPsc is taken inside the cell by process called as endocytosis. inside the cell the PrPsc accumulates inside the endosomes. They continue to accumulate until the contents of the endosomes are transferred to lysosomes which results in the death of cell or cell death.
viroids are plant pathogens. viroids were discovered and named by Theodor Otto Diener, plant pathologist at the Agricultural Research Service in Maryland, in 1971. viroids consist of 246-469 nucleotides. the first viroids were identified in potato. i.e potato spindle tuber viroids. Viriods multiply inside the nucleus of infected plant cell by “rolling circle” mechanism, using the host enzymes.Produce a long monomeric strand of RNA which are cut into monomers ,each monomers then join to form an individual circular viriod.
After replication , the progeny RNAs move to neighbouring healthy cells though the connecting plasmodesmata or distinct parts of the plants through phloem.coconut cadang cadang disease which affects trees over 1 million coconut palms are killed by CCvd and over 30 million coconut palms are killed since cadang cadang has been discovered
cadang cadang in bicol language means dying dying.. It was originally reported on San Miguel Island in the Philippines in 1927/1928. "By 1962, all but 100 of 250,000 palms on this island had died from the disease," indicating an epidemic.

Myxozoans are the microscopic fish parasites having complex life cycle stages. Understanding the intrapiscine and intra oligochete developmental stages is necessary for knowing about this parasite and the disease caused by the myxozoan parasite in fish.

37. CONJUGATION AND REPRODUCTION 8 7 2 MICRONUCLEAR FUSION Diploid micronucleus Diploid micronucleus Haploid micronucleus MEIOSIS Compatible mates Key Conjugation Reproduction Macronucleus Two cells of compatible mating strains align side by side and partially fuse. 1 Meiosis of micronuclei produces four haploid micronuclei in each cell. 2 3 Three micronuclei in each cell disintegrate. The remaining micro- nucleus in each cell divides by mitosis. The cells swap one micronucleus. 4 The cells separate. 5 Micronuclei fuse, forming a diploid micronucleus. 6 Three rounds of mitosis without cytokinesis produce eight micronuclei. 7 The original macro- nucleus disintegrates. Four micronuclei become macronuclei, while the other four remain micronuclei. 8 Two rounds of cytokinesis partition one macronucleus and one micronucleus into each of four daughter cells. 9 Alveolata: Ciliates
