Chapter 4 of CBSE 11 Biology is Animal Kingdom. It involves lot of examples of each phylum. Here is the complete list of the examples. This should be revised often. The list here is mentions the economic importance , other features, like digestive system, respiratory system etc. This will be helpful for the students who are preparing for NEET exam.

Phylum Porifera(Sponges)

Sycon(Scypha)

Spongilla (Fresh water sponge)

Euspongia(Bath Sponge)

Phylum Coelenterata(Cnideria)

These have two basic body forms:

Polyp:                                                                             Medusa

Examples: Hydra and Adamsia                                       Examples: Aurelia (Jelly fish)

Polyp produce medusae asexually, and medusae form polyp sexually (Eg: Obelia)

Other examples of Coelenterata:

Physalia( Portuguese man of war), Adamsia (Sea anemone), Pennatula( Sea pen), Gorgonia (Sea fan ), Meandrina (Brain coral)
