Protostomes .
Deuterstomes
Bivalves are protostomes. They belong to the phylum Mollusca, which is characterized by protostome development. This means that during their embryonic development, the blastopore becomes the mouth.
Examples of protostomes include various invertebrate groups such as mollusks (e.g., snails, clams, and octopuses), annelids (e.g., earthworms and leeches), and arthropods (e.g., insects, spiders, and crustaceans). These organisms exhibit a developmental pattern where the blastopore becomes the mouth, distinguishing them from deuterostomes. Protosomes are characterized by their diverse forms and ecological roles in various habitats.

No, chaetognaths are not considered deuterostomes. They belong to the phylum Chaetognatha (arrow worms), which are classified as protostomes. They are characterized by certain developmental and anatomical features that distinguish them from deuterostomes.
Bivalvia is the scientific name for the bivalves.

Protosomes are a group of animals characterized by their developmental process, where the mouth develops before the anus during embryonic development. This group includes two major clades: Lophotrochozoa, which consists of organisms like mollusks and annelids, and Ecdysozoa, which includes arthropods and nematodes. Protosomes exhibit a wide range of body plans and adaptations, making them a diverse and ecologically significant group in the animal kingdom.
