Aves have spindle-shaped body to reduce air resistance during flight.

Read the paragraph and answer the questions given below : Locomotion is considered as an important characteristics of the animals. However, animals belonging to Porifera are said to be sedentary. Every other phylum has typical locomotory organs. E.g. Nereis crawls with the help of parapodia, whereas earthworm buries in soil by setae. Spiders have four pairs of walking legs, crab has five while all insects have three pairs of walking legs. The walking legs are also called appendages. Starfish moves with the help of tube feet. Snails and bivalves use muscular foot for locomotion. Birds flying with their spread out wings and fish swimming with their fins, both have spindle-shaped body tapering at both the ends. While flying or swimming such body offers least resistance during locomotion. Mammals have two pairs of limbs while animals like snakes are limbless. Other animals belonging to the class of snakes also have very weak limbs.which make them creep on the ground. Answer the question: What are the locomotory organs in phylum Annelida?

Cellular respiration is the oxidation of foodstuffs for the production of energy. During aerobic respiration, complete oxidation of glucose takes place.Contradictor to this, glucose is incompletely oxidized durin anaerobic respiration . Many microbesare capacble of surviving anaerobically in environments that lack oxygen. Anaerobic respiration occurs via two steps,namely glycolysis and fermentation. The pyruvic acid formed during glycolysis is converted to organic acids or alcohols during anaerobic process. higher animals and plants, or seeds submerged in soil under water are capable ofperforming anaerobic respiration, when the oxygen levels are depleted .Even body cells like erythrocytes and mscle cells perform anaerobic respiration. How does anaerobic respiration occur in yeast?
