7) PHYLUM MOLLUSCA

8) PHYLUM NEMATODA

Descriptions of phyla

-Acoelomate but bilateral; the flatworms
-Coelomate; the segmented worms
-Chitinous exoskeleton with jointed appendages
-Unsegmented & pseudocoelomate; the round worms
-Coelomate often with a cell; the mollusks
-Marine with radial symmetry; have tube feet & water vascular system
-They lack true tissues and organs; the sponges
-Aquatic with two cell layers & radial symmetry; the corals, jellyfish, and anemones

Examples: earthworms, leeches
4. PHYLUM ECHINODERMATA - Marine with radial symmetry; have tube feet & water vascular system
Examples: starfish, sea urchins
5. PHYLUM PORIFERA - They lack true tissues and organs; the sponges
Examples: sponge, glass sponge
6. PHYLUM PLATYHELMINTHES - Acoelomate but bilateral; the flatworms
