13
What is a defining characteristic of Gastropoda?
-undergo torsion during development
14
2 characteristics of Bivalvia (clams, mussels etc.)

2. Filter feeders (eg clams, oysters, muscles etc.)
15
2 characteristics of Cephalopoda (squids, octopuses etc.)

4. Hermaphrodites, cross-fertilize
19
2 characteristics of Polychaeta?
1. Well-developed head
2. Parapodia with chaetae that work as gills, aid in locomotion
20
4 characteristics of Hirudinea?
1. Reduced coelom
2. Absent chaetae
3. Bloodsucking parasites
4. Anterior/posterior suckers (e.g. leeches)
21
What are Phylum Nematoda?
-Roundworms in most aquatic habitats, wet soil, most tissues of plants, body fluids/tissues of animals
22
What are 3 characteristics of Phylum Nematoda?
1. sexual reproducers
2. complete digestive tract
3. no circulatory system
23
How do Phylum Nematoda move?
-longitudinal muscle contraction
24
Phylum Nematoda are covered in _______
exoskeleton (the cuticle)
25
What do Phylum Nematoda have a major role in?
decomposition
26
3 major Arthropod features
1. Exoskeleton made of layers of protein + chitin
2. Open circulatory system
-(Hemolymph circulated into spaces surrounding tissues and organs)
3. Variety of organs specialized for gas exchange
