The filter-feeding apparatus of sea squirts along with similarity and differences between the mode of feeding between these two groups and amphioxus. Introduction: The cyclostomes or the lampreys modify and evolve with passing time, to form modern fishes with the complete development of jaws. The cephalochordates are advanced than the urochordates and evolve into jawless fishes called the cyclostomes.

Find illustrations of the excretory and digestive system of Phylum Platyhelminthes, Phylum Annelida and Phylum Chaetognatha. Explain how each differ from each other.

Both sea squirts (urochordates) and lancelets (cephalochordates) are filter-feeding organisms. Describe the filter-feeding apparatus of a sea squirt and explain in what ways its mode of feeding is similar to, and different from, that of amphioxus

In Hydrozoans such as the Obelia pictured above, what do gastrozooids and gonozooids have in common, and what are their respective functions? They are both medusae; gastrozooids produce polyps via budding, and gonozooids filter particles from the water to feed They are both polyps: gastrozooids filter particles from the water to feed, and gonozooids produce reproductive medusac via budding They are both medusae: gastrozooids filter particles from the water to feed, and gonozooids produce polyps asexually via budding They are both polyps; gastrozooids filter particles from the water to feed, and gonozooids produce additional polyps via asexual budding
