What is the use of lophophore by ectoprocts And brachiopods?
Ectoprocts (bryozoans) and brachiopods both utilize a lophophore, which is a crown of ciliated tentacles, for feeding and respiration. The lophophore helps in capturing plankton and small particles from the water, directing them towards the mouth for ingestion. Additionally, it plays a role in gas exchange, allowing these organisms to breathe efficiently in their aquatic environments. This specialized structure enhances their ability to thrive in diverse habitats.

How are brachiopods formed?
Brachiopods are a type of marine invertebrate that develop through a process similar to other marine organisms.

How many of Brachiopods are alive today?
Today, there are approximately 300 living species of brachiopods. These marine organisms are mostly found in deep-sea environments, although some inhabit shallow waters. Brachiopods have a rich fossil record dating back over 500 million years, but their diversity has significantly declined compared to past geological periods.
