Bryozoa The Bryozoa, also known as Polyzoa, Ectoprocta or commonly as moss animals, are a phylum of aquatic invertebrate animals.Typically about 0.5 millimetres (0.020 in) long, they are filter feeders that sieve food particles out of the water using a retractable lophophore, a crown of tentacles lined with cilia.nother group of animals discovered subsequently, whose filtering mechanism looked similar, was also included in Bryozoa until 1869, when the two groups were noted to be very different internally. The more recently discovered group was given the name Entoprocta, while the original Bryozoa were called Ectoprocta.

- Introduction to Primitive Invertebrates. Today well examine several phyla that represent alternate pathways in early animal evolution. The sponges, in the Phylum Porifera, are so strange that they are placed in the Subkingdom Parazoa, which literally means “animals set aside”.All other animals belong to the Subkingdom Eumetazoa (“true” animals).oday well examine several phyla that represent alternate pathways in early animal evolution.

- 1 Of particular interest in this regard are animals in the early diverging non-bilaterian phyla Porifera, Placozoa, Cnidaria, and Ctenophora. 2  By this usage, the basal metazoans comprise just four phyla (Placozoa, Porifera, Cnidaria, and Ctenophora) and the large clade Bilateria. In contrast to the striking conservation of caspases and bcl - 2 proteins in all animal phyla from Porifera and Cnidaria to mammals, these features of apoptosis are not present in yeast or plants.

- Platypus have all these three, so they are mammals, but they are placed in their own subclass, Prototheria (egg-laying mammals). The other subclass is Theria, with two infraclasses in them: Eutheria (placental mammals), and Metatheria (marsupials).

- The animals in this phylum are the sea stars, sea urchins, bristle stars, sand dollars, and sea cucumbers. Echinoderms are found in all of the world's oceans. They are strictly salt-water animals. They are voracious predators, feeding on clams, oysters, abalone, mussels, and other shellfish.n ancestral chordate is shown in the image below. There are a couple of organisms in this phylum that are invertebrates. One such creature is called the sea squirt. Sea squirts show the four characteristics of all chordates previously described, but they never develop a solid backbone.

- Animal Kingdom. The Animal Kingdom is split into several Phyla. Each Phylum group contains organisms that have things in common. Below is a list of some animal Phyla: Chordate Phylum: All the animals which have a backbone. Includes: Fish, Reptiles, Birds, Amphibians, and Mammals.nimal Kingdom: organisms that usually move around and find their own food. Plant Kingdom: organisms that make their own food and do not actively move around. Fungi Kingdom: organisms that absorb food from living and non-living things.

Ectotherm Ectotherm, Any so-called cold-blooded animal; that is, any animal whose regulation of body temperature depends on external sources, such as sunlight or a heated rock surface. The ectotherms include the fishes, amphibians, reptiles, and invertebrates. The body temperatures of aquatic ectotherms are usually very close to those of the water. Ectotherms do not require as much food as warm-blooded animals (endotherms) of the same size, but most cannot deal as well with cold surroundings.

Echinodermata Echinoderms (Echinodermata) are a group of marine invertebrates that includes star fish, sea lilies, feather stars, brittle stars, sea cucumbers and sea urchins.There are about 6000 species of echinoderms alive today.nimals Invertebrates. Echinoderms are divided into the following taxonomic groups: 1  Sea stars and starfishes (Asteroidea) - There are about 1500 species of sea stars and starfishes alive today.

- This was before the nature of the animals was clearly understood, and both phyla, as then defined, included, in addition to the ectoprocts, organisms not closely related to them. Hence, some workers prefer to use the phylum-name Ectoprocta for the phylum-concept in the narrower sense.Other scholars, however, continue to use the term Polyzoa or Bryozoa in a restricted sense for the phylum that includes the animals that almost everyone calls bryozoans.he creatures now assigned to phylum Ectoprocta originally were referred to phylum Polyzoa by J. V. Thompson in 1830 and to phylum Bryozoa by C. G. Ehrenberg a few months later, in 1831.

Echidna Facts Echidna Facts. Echidna is a type of primitive mammals that belongs to the group of monotremes (mammals that lay eggs). Genus Echidna consists of two species: short-beaked echidna and long-beaked echidna. Short-beaked echidna inhabits Australia and New Guinea, while long-beaked lives only in the highlands of New Guinea.

Introduction to the Lophotrochozoa Lophophorata: This group includes the Phoronida and Entoprocta (both small groups) as well as the Bryozoa (moss animals) and Brachiopoda (brachiopods), both of which have an extensive fossil record. The feature shared by this group is the lophophore, an unusual feeding appendage bearing hollow tentacles.any of the members are worm-like, though not all of them are familiar or common. The two largest groups of trochozoans are the Mollusca (molluscs) and the Annelida (segmented worms). It might seem strange at first to group earthworms and squid together.

Protozoa Paramecium aurelia, a ciliated protozoa. Protozoa (in Greek proto = first and zoa = animals) is a diverse group of single-celled, microscopic or near-microscopic eukaryotes (organisms whose cells have nuclei) that commonly show characteristics usually associated with animals, most notably mobility and heterotrophy.rotozoa span several phyla that are generally placed not as part of the kingdom Animalia, but rather as part of the kingdom Protista, sometimes known as the other kingdom or the left-overs kingdom.

Echinoderm  [show article only]hover over links in text for more info The adults are recognizable by their (usually five-point) radial symmetry, and include such well-known animals as starfish, sea urchins, sand dollars, and sea cucumbers, as well as the sea lilies or stone lilies. Echinoderms are found at every ocean depth, from the intertidal zone to the abyssal zone.The phylum contains about 7000 living species, making it the second-largest grouping of deuterostomes (a superphylum), after the chordates (which include the vertebrates, such as birds, fishes, mammals, and reptiles).chinoderms evolved from animals with bilateral symmetry. Although adult echinoderms possess pentaradial, or five-sided, symmetry, echinoderm larvae are ciliated, free-swimming organisms that organize in bilateral symmetry which makes them look like embryonic chordates.

- Explain the basic body plan of members of the phylum Platyhelminthes. Identify representatives of the classes Turbellaria, Trematoda, and Cestoda. Compare and contrast the anatomy and morphology of free-living and parisitic flatworms. Describe the symmetry of this group. Platyhelminthes is a phylum composed of three classes of flatworms. The class Turbellaria (planarians) is free-living, while the remaining classes including the Trematoda (flukes) and Cestoda (tapeworms) are parisitic. Members of the phylum Platyhelminthes are dorsoventrally flattened.

Echinoderm Echinodermata is the largest phylum that does not have any of its organisms living on land or in fresh water. The most common Echinoderms are starfish, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and sand dollars. The name literally means, in Greek, spiny skinned, because that's what echinoderms look like.

Marine invertebrates Aside from the hard-to-classify Arkarua (a Precambrian animal with echinoderm-like pentamerous radial symmetry), the first definitive members of the phylum appeared near the start of the Cambrian. The echinoderms are important both biologically and geologically.

Introduction to the Lophotrochozoa Of molluscs, worms, and lophophores. The Lophotrochozoa comprise one of the major groups within the animal kingdom, In turn, the Lophotrochozoa belongs to a larger group within the Animalia called the Bilateria, because they are bilaterally symmetrical with a left and a right side to their bodies.any of the members are worm-like, though not all of them are familiar or common. The two largest groups of trochozoans are the Mollusca (molluscs) and the Annelida (segmented worms). It might seem strange at first to group earthworms and squid together.
