Metazoa
Phylum Porifera
(sponges)
they are sedentary, sessile and live in marine or fresh waters
filter feeders
most are hermaphrodites, functions as both male and female
lack tissues, but group of similar cells act as functional units
Amoebocytes, totipotent cells, found in the mesohyl, play digestion and manufacture of skeletal fibers roles
Choanocytes, flagellated collar cells, generate a water current through and ingest suspended food
Eumetazoa
(animals with true tissues)
Phylum Cnidaria
including jellies, corals, and hydras
carnivores that use tentacles to capture prey
Diploblastic; radially symmetrical; gastrovascular cavity (digestive compartment with a single opening)

A medusa ; bell-shaped body with its mouth on the underside
A polyp adheres to the substrate by the aboral end of its body
Bilateria
Lophotrochozoa
Phylum Platyhelminthes
(Flatworms)
live in marine, freshwater, and damp terrestrial habitats
have gastrovascular cavity, a dorsoventrally flatten body shape
they can be parasites such as trematodes and tapeworms

(crown of ciliated tentacles around their mouth used for feeding)
Phylum Ectoprocta
Phylum Brachiopoda
Phylum Mollusca

Polychaeta(polychaetes)
most are mobile marine predators or grazers
have a pair of paddle-like or ridge-like structures called parapodia on each body segment
Oligochaeta(oligochaetes, earthworms)
eat through soil for extracting nutrients, they are hermaphrodites but cross-fertilize
Hirudinea(leeches)
most of them live in fresh water, some are marine or terrestrial
parasites that suck blood, chemical called hirudin to prevent blood clot
