What are some of the characteristics of animal bodies that biologists have used to classify animal phyla?
Phyla are determined by major anatomical features. Does the organism have a spine? Is there a skeleton, and if so is it internal or external? Does it have a shell? Is it motile or sessile? Does it conduct photosynthesis? How many limbs does it have? Does it have hair? Does it have feathers? Does it have eyes? And so forth.

What are some characteristics of anthropods?
Some characteristics of anthropods include having an exoskeleton, segmented bodies, jointed appendages, and bilateral symmetry. They typically have compound eyes and undergo metamorphosis during their life cycle. Most anthropods also have a distinct head, thorax, and abdomen.
Why do scientists classify creatures?
because they are classified as mammals and mammals are in the animalia (animal) kingdom Like it or not we humans are animals. We are not single celled organisms, our cells cannot produce our own food, and we do not produce spores and feed off the nutrients we get out of decaying matter.
Why should a mushroom be classed as an animal?
A mushroom is a Fungi. n. pl. fun·gi (fŭn'jī, fŭng'gī) or fun·gus·esAny of numerous eukaryotic organisms of the kingdom Fungi, which lack chlorophyll and vascular tissue and range in form from a single cell to a body mass of branched filamentous hyphae that often produce specialized fruiting bodies. The kingdom includes the yeasts, molds, smuts, and mushrooms.[[User:Harleydude111|Harleydude111]] 20:25, 4 Sep 2008 (UTC)[[User:Harleydude111|Harleydude111]] 20:25, 4 Sep 2008 (UTC)[[User:Harleydude111|Harleydude111]] 20:25, 4 Sep 2008 (UTC) A mushroom cannot be simply classified as either an animal or a plant. It is obviously not an animal as it does not eat either animals or plants, which is a rather simplistic way to classify animals. It is not, theoretically, a plant because it does not contain chlorophyll and cannot make its own food, which is one of the methods by which a plant is classified as a plant. Mushrooms actually absorb food and nutrients from decaying matter around them. If you look at davidlnelson.md/Cazadero/FiveKingdoms.htm, you will find arguments for classifying a mushroom as both animal and plant.
What are the characteristics for nematoda?
Nematoda are worms with long, cylindrical bodies and round cross-sections. They have a pseudocoelom, complete digestive system, and exhibit bilateral symmetry. Nematodes are found in a variety of habitats and can be free-living or parasitic.

Who are the people who study the marine life?
Marine biologists are the scientists who study marine life, including organisms and ecosystems in oceans, seas, and other bodies of saltwater. Their research focuses on understanding the behavior, biology, and conservation of marine species.

State the unique characteristics of water bodies in equatorial zone?
The unique characteristics of water bodies in the equatorial zone is that they are polar and geometry bent.
Do marine biologists handle the animals?
Marine biologists may handle animals for research purposes, such as tagging, taking measurements, and collecting samples. However, it is important that they do so in a way that minimizes stress and harm to the animals. Proper training and ethical guidelines are essential in handling marine animals.
Are Golgi bodies animal or plant cells?
Golgi bodies are found in both animal and plant cells. They are responsible for packaging and modifying proteins before they are transported to their final destination within the cell or outside of the cell.
