Question
Chapter 14, Problem 25RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The size of gastrotrichs, gnathostomulids, and micrognathozoans.
Introduction: The acanthocephalans have no digestive tract and therefore, they absorb the nutrients with the help of the tegument. The different molecules are absorbed by the specific membrane-transport mechanisms and other substances can cross the tegumental membrane with the help of pinocytosis.

For the phylum Gastrotricha please provide: -
-- General biology. Approximately how large is the phylum? What do they look like? In what types of environments are they found? What do they eat? Do they have any unique body structures? --Phylum features. Protostome vs deuterostome vs?? Type of digestive system, circulation, respiration, mode of reproduction (note some of these structures may be absent or not known in which case say that don’t just leave them out). --Phylogenetic position. What other phyla are close relatives? What features do they share? Show recently accepted phylogeny.
Describe and contrast the tegument of most turbellarians and the other classes of platyhelminths. Does the tegument provide evidence that trematodes, monogeneans, and cestodes form a clade within Platyhelminthes? Why?
What is the type of digestive system present in beings of the phylum Arthropoda? Are these animals protostomes or deuterostomes?
