An animal with bilateral symmetry and grows the mouth before the anus
Define deuterostomes
an animal with bilateral symmetry that grows the anus before the mouth
what deuterostome phylum do humans belong in?
chordata, where animals are vertebrates (with a backbone)

what are germ layers
layers of cells in a embryo that turn into specialized tissues
define ectoderm
outer layer becomes skin and nervous system
define endoderm
inner layer becomes the pancreas and bladder
define mesoderm
middle layer becomes reproductive and circulatory
what is the body structure of phylum Porifera? give example
-two cell layers with gelatinous material
-flagellated cells
sponges
