Answer:
The phylum under non chordates are:
1.Phylum porifera:
- They are also called as sponges.
- They have aquatic habitats.
- They are asymeetrical or radially symmetrical and is diploblastic.
- They have cellular level of body organization and is acoelomate.
- They have a water canal system
- Some examples are spongilla, sycon, euspongia etc
2.Phylum coelentrata:
- They are also called as cnidarians.
- They have cnidoblasts which are also called as stinging cells.
- They are aquatic and has cellular level of body organization.
- They are diploblastic.
- They show polymorhism and exist in two forms either as polyp or as medusa.
- They show the property of metagenesis (alternation of generation)
- Some examples are Obelia, Hydra etc
3.Phylum Ctenophora:
- They are also called as sea walnuts or comb jellies.
- They have a biradial symmetry and is acoelomate
- They have a tissue level body organization.
- They have eight rows of ciliary bands called as comb plates.
- Some examples are ctenoplana, pleurobrachia etc
4.Phylum Platyhelminthes:
- They are commonly called as flatworms.
- The organisms are bilaterally symmetric and is triploblastic.
- They have organ level body organization.
- They have specialised cells called flame cells for excretion and osmoregulation.
- They are mostly hermaphrodites.
- Some examples are Planaria which posess the ability of regeneration and liver fluke.
5.Phylum Aschelminthes:
- They are also called as roundworms.
- They are triploblastic with bilateral symmetry.
- They have organ system level of body organization.
- They have a complete digestive system.
- They possess pseudocoelom.
- Some examples are Ascaris and Wuchereria bancrofti.
6.Phylum Annelida:
- They are aquatic or terrestrial.
- They are coelomate and bilaterally symmetrical.
- They are triploblastic.
- They have a closed circulatory system.
- Nephridia helps in excretion and osmoregulation.
- Examples are nereis and aphrodita.
7.Phylum Arthropoda:
- This is the largest phylum.
- They have jointed appendages.
- They have a blood filled cavity called as haemocoel.
- Their body is divided into head , thorax and abdomen
- Examples are daphnia and spider
8.Phylum Mollusca:
- They are triploblastic and coelomate
- They have organ system level of body organisation.
- The body is divided into head, visceral hump and mantle.
- They have chitinous teeth called as radula
- Examples are chiton and dentalium.
9. Phylum Echinodermata:
- They are triploblastic and has organ system level of body organization.
- They are radially symmetrical.
- They have a water vascular system.
- Examples are ophiothrix and asterias.
10. Phylum Hemichordata:
- Their body is divided into proboscis, collar and trunk.
- They have pharyngeal gill slits and notochord is present in embryonical stage.
- The subphylums in this phylum are:
- Urochordata
- Cephalochordata
- Some examples are Balanoglossus and saccoglossus.
