* Cell wall is made up of cellulose and Pectin
* Plant body is flattened called ‘Thallus’
* They reproduce both by asexual and sexual methods
4. Write any three characterstic features of bryophytes.
* Bryophytes are commonly called amphibians of the plant kingdom since they need water for completing the life cycle.

* The heart of fish is two chambered where as the heart of frog three is chambered.
11. Why does a fish die when it is removed out of water?
Fish breathes through gills by taking dissolved oxygen in water. It cannot use atmospheric oxygen.
12. The heart og man is 4 chambered and the heart of Chemelon is 3 chambered. What difference do you find with reference to their blood circulation?
The heart of man is four chambered by which oxygenated and deoxygenated blood are not mixed. Where as in Chemeleon the heart is 3 chamdered so that both oxygenated and deoxygenated blood mix together and circulate through out the body.
