phylum mollusca
mollusca
Some common phyla found in biological classification include chordata, arthropoda, mollusca, and annelida.
Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Mollusca.
Snails belong to the phylum Mollusca, which also includes other animals such as clams, octopuses, and squid. This phylum is characterized by soft bodies, often covered by a hard shell, and a muscular foot used for locomotion.
Molusca and arthropda are phyla; plantae (metaphyta) is a kingdom; mammalia is a class (or clade).
Phyla Mollusca and Annelida have trochophore larvae. These larvae are characteristic of the early stages of development of certain marine invertebrates, where they display a ciliated, free-swimming, planktonic form.
The two phyla of animals that contain an exoskeleton are Arthropoda, which includes insects, spiders, and crustaceans, and Mollusca, which includes animals like snails and clams.
Mollusca, Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Annelida, Arthropoda, Echinodermata, and Chordata, the phylum to which humans belong. Although there are approximately 35 phyla, these nine include over 96% of animal species.Reference: Wikipedia
The three main phyla under protostomes are Annelida (segmented worms), Mollusca (mollusks), and Arthropoda (arthropods). These organisms share a common characteristic of developing their mouths from the first opening formed during embryonic development.
The trochophores, a larval form within the trochozoan clade, are categorized in the lophotrochozoa superphylum. This contains eight phyla including mollusca and annelida, but not arthropoda.
Porifera (sponges) Cnidaria (jellyfish, corals) Platyhelminthes (flatworms) Nematoda (roundworms) Annelida (earthworms, leeches) Mollusca (snails, octopuses) Arthropoda (insects, spiders) Echinodermata (starfish, sea urchins) Chordata (tunicates)
