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.
As protostome phyla evolve, the coelom may change in structure and function. For example, in some phyla like annelids, the coelom functions as a hydrostatic skeleton. In arthropods, the coelom may be reduced or lost altogether.
The three main phyla of fungi are Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Zygomycota. Ascomycota and Basidiomycota are the most diverse and well-studied phyla, while Zygomycota is relatively small in terms of species diversity.
There are three subphyla of Chordata: Tunicata, Cephalochordata, and Vertebrata (sometimes Craniata).
flat worms,segmented worms, and round worms.
The plural form of phylum is phyla.
Although most of the animal phyla are included in the deuterostomes and protostomes, cnidaria, porifera, placozoa and ctenophora are not included in the group of animals know as Bilateria (which contains the deuterostomes and protostomes). Cnidarians and ctenophores are in a group called Radiata, and Porifera and Placozoa are in the group known as Parazoa.
As protostome phyla evolve, the coelom may change in structure and function. For example, in some phyla like annelids, the coelom functions as a hydrostatic skeleton. In arthropods, the coelom may be reduced or lost altogether.
They are protostomes.
No, cnidarians are not protostomes. They are classified as diploblastic animals, meaning they have two germ layers during development (endoderm and ectoderm), whereas protostomes are triploblastic animals with three germ layers. Cnidarians are more closely related to animals like jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones.
This is straight from dictionary.com, so no credit for me: "any member of the lower invertebrate phyla in which the mouth appears before the anus during development, cleavage is spiral and determinate, and the coelom forms as a splitting of the mesoderm." That help? :)
Yes, since they are annelids, they are protostomes.
Most invertebrate animals are protostomes.

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.
Yes, molluscs fit into the group known as protostomes.
Neither are protostomes. Chordates, Hemichordates, and Echinoderms are all deuterostomes (in that the blastopore forms the anus first). In protostomes, the blastopore forms the mouth first.
