Choanocytes, flagellated collar cells, generate a water current through the sponge and ingest suspended food Sponges consist of a gelatinous noncellular mesohyl layer between two cell layers Amoebocytes are found in the mesohyl and play roles in digestion and structure Most sponges are hermaphrodites: Each individual functions as both male and female © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Concept 33.2: Cnidarians are an ancient phylum of eumetazoans All animals except sponges and a few other groups belong to the clade Eumetazoa, animals with true tissues Phylum Cnidaria is one of the oldest groups in this clade © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
They exhibit a relatively simple diploblastic, radial body plan Cnidarians have diversified into a wide range of both sessile and motile forms including jellies, corals, and hydras They exhibit a relatively simple diploblastic, radial body plan The basic body plan of a cnidarian is a sac with a central digestive compartment, the gastrovascular cavity A single opening functions as mouth and anus © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
A polyp adheres to the substrate by the aboral end of its body There are two variations on the body plan: the sessile polyp and motile medusa A polyp adheres to the substrate by the aboral end of its body A medusa has a bell-shaped body with its mouth on the underside Medusae do not attach to the substate but move freely © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

The clade Lophotrochozoa was identified by molecular data Some develop a lophophore for feeding, others pass through a trochophore larval stage, and a few have neither feature Lophotrochozoa includes the flatworms, rotifers, ectoprocts, brachiopods, molluscs, and annelids © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Flatworms Members of phylum Platyhelminthes live in marine, freshwater, and damp terrestrial habitats Although flatworms undergo triploblastic development, they are acoelomates They are flattened dorsoventrally and have a gastrovascular cavity with one opening Gas exchange takes place across the surface, and protonephridia regulate the osmotic balance © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Flatworms are divided into two lineages Catenulida, or “chain worms,” reproduce asexually by budding Rhabditophora are more diverse and include both free-living and parasitic species © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Arthropods Two out of every three known species of animals are arthropods Members of the phylum Arthropoda are found in nearly all habitats of the biosphere © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Arthropod Origins The arthropod body plan consists of a segmented body, hard exoskeleton, and jointed appendages This body plan dates to the Cambrian explosion (535–525 million years ago) Early arthropods show little variation from segment to segment © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Figure 33.28 Figure 33.28 A trilobite fossil.
Arthropod evolution is characterized by a decrease in the number of segments and an increase in appendage specialization These changes may have been caused by changes in Hox gene sequence or regulation © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Arthropods have eyes, olfactory receptors, and antennae that function in touch and smell Arthropods have an open circulatory system in which hemolymph is circulated into the spaces surrounding the tissues and organs A variety of organs specialized for gas exchange have evolved in arthropods © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Molecular evidence suggests that living arthropods consist of four major lineages that diverged early in the phylum’s evolution Chelicerates (sea spiders, horseshoe crabs, scorpions, ticks, mites, and spiders) Myriapods (centipedes and millipedes) Hexapods (insects and relatives) Crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, shrimps, barnacles, and many others) © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
Chelicerates Chelicerates, subphylum Chelicerata, are named for clawlike feeding appendages called chelicerae The earliest cheliceriforms were eurypterids (water scorpions) Most marine cheliceriforms (including eurypterids) are extinct, but some species survive today, including horseshoe crabs © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
