The two groups of protostomes are
(1) Lophotrochozoa
(2) Ecdysozoa
Several key events triggered the diversification of protostomes, including:
several lineages making the water-to-land transition, a diversification in appendages and mouth parts, and the evolution of metamorphosis
Protostomes are ________ symmetric, ____blastic, coelomate animal.
bilateraly, triplo
The __ phyla of lophotrochozoans include molluscs, annelids, and flatworms.
14
lophotrochozoan was inspired by the presence of a feeding structure called a _______ and a type of larva called a ________.
lophophore, trochophore
Lophophore
specialized structure that rings the mouth of these animals and functions in suspension feeding
Trocophores
type of larva common to several phyla of lophotrochozoa
Ecdysozoan
Ecdysozoans grow by molting - shedding of the soft cuticle or hard exoskeleton
The Nematoda and Arthropoda are the most prominent of the seven ______ phyla.
ecdysozoan
Radical changes occurred in coelom formation as protostomes diversified. For example, platyhelminthes (flatworms) are _______, lacking a body cavity.
acoelomate
pseudocoelom arose independently in rotifers and ________.
ecdysozoans
The functions of the coelom
-providing space for fluids to circulate among organs
-providing a hydrostatic skeleton for movement

(in arthropods and molluscs, other structures fulfill these functions)
Arthropods are distinguished by their jointed limbs and an exoskeleton made of ____.
chitin
Arthropods have a spacious body cavity called the ______ that provides space for internal organs and circulation of fluids.
hemocoel
Three structures that characterize the molluscan body plan
(1) foot
(2) visceral mass
(3) mantle

In molluscs, the coelom's functions are replaced by the visceral mass and the muscular foot
Echiurans have a ______, an extended structure which forms a gutter leading to the mouth.
proboscis
______ have a toothed throat that can be turned inside out to grab prey and then retracted
Priapulids
______ have a barb-tipped proboscis that extends and spears or entangles the prey and then retracts
Nemereans
