From the following statements select the wrong one
- Millepedes have two pairs of appendages in each segment of the body
- Prawn has two pairs of antennae
- Animals belonging to phylum-Porifera are exclusively marine
- Nematocysts are characteristic of the phylum - Cnidaria
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Animals belonging to the phylum Porifera, which includes sponges, can be found in both marine and freshwater environments. So, they are not exclusively marine; some species inhabit freshwater habitats.
So, the correct option is (C): Animals belonging to phylum-Porifera are exclusively marine

Questions Asked in NEET exam
- An oxygen cylinder of volume 30 litre has 18.20 moles of oxygen. After some oxygen is withdrawn from the cylinder, its gauge pressure drops to 11 atmospheric pressure at temperature \(27^\circ\)C. The mass of the oxygen withdrawn from the cylinder is nearly equal to: [Given, \(R = \frac{100}{12} \text{ J mol}^{-1} \text{K}^{-1}\), and molecular mass of \(O_2 = 32 \text{ g/mol}\), 1 atm pressure = \(1.01 \times 10^5 \text{ N/m}^2\)]

Concepts Used:
Animal Kingdom
Animals are eukaryotic, multicellular species that belong to the Kingdom Animalia. Every animal has a distinct characteristic. They get energy either by feeding on plants or on other animals. There are millions of species that have been recognized, few shares similar characteristics while others vary drastically.
Kingdom Animalia comprises all animals. In the midst of the five kingdoms, the largest kingdom is the animal kingdom. Animals are multicellular eukaryotes. Though, like plants, they do not possess chlorophyll or a cell wall. Therefore, members of the animal kingdom indicate a heterotrophic mode of nutrition. Kingdom Animalia is further classified into ten different subphyla based on their body designs or differentiations.
The different phyla of the Kingdom Animalia are as follows:
- Porifera
- Coelenterata (Cnidaria)
- Platyhelminthes
- Nematoda
- Annelida
- Arthropoda
- Mollusca
- Echinodermata
- Hemichordata
- Chordata
