Problem Analysis:
The task involves classifying animals into two main groups:
vertebrates and
invertebrates. The diagram provided is a flowchart that helps categorize animals based on whether they have a backbone or not. Additionally, there are questions to fill in the blanks related to animal classification.

Solution:
####
Q.1: Label the following diagram to classify animals.
The flowchart provided is a decision tree for classifying animals. Let's break it down step by step:
1.
Top Decision:
The first decision point asks whether an animal
has a backbone or
doesn't have a backbone.
- Animals with a backbone are classified as
vertebrates.
- Animals without a backbone are classified as
invertebrates.
2.
Vertebrates (Left Branch):
The vertebrate group includes animals such as mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles. From the images provided:
- The cow is a
mammal.
- The bird is a
bird.
- The fish is a
fish.
- The snake is a
reptile.
3.
Invertebrates (Right Branch):
The invertebrate group includes animals without backbones, such as insects, arachnids, etc. From the images provided:
- The colorful creature appears to be an
insect (possibly a butterfly or moth).
#### Filling in the Diagram:
-
Top Left Box (Has a Backbone): Vertebrates
-
Top Right Box (Doesn't Have a Backbone): Invertebrates
-
Bottom Left Boxes (Vertebrates): Mammal, Bird, Fish, Reptile
-
Bottom Right Box (Invertebrates): Insect
So, the completed diagram looks like this:
```

Answer: Five
2.
b) The two main groups of animals are _______ and _______.
The two main groups of animals are
vertebrates and
invertebrates.
Answer: Vertebrates and Invertebrates
3.
c) Vertebrates have _______ inside their bodies.

backbone (or spinal column) inside their bodies.
Answer: A backbone
