Two subgroups of annelida?
Errantians, Sedentarians
Key traits of annelida?
segmented worms/bodies, coelomates, have setae, hermaphrodites, closed circulation, trocophore larva
key traits of errantians?
more motile, have parapodia and lots of setae, have jaws and sensory organs for predation, most are polychaetes
key traits of sedentarians?
tend to be loss mobile, tube dwellers, oligochaetes(not many setae), example are leeches and earthworms
facts about leeches?
aquatic and terrestrial, predatory/parasitic, secrete hirudin

alimentary canal, good for soil, hermaphrodites
4 sub groups of mollusca?
Bivalvia, gastropoda, cephalopoda, polyplachophora
key traits of mollusca?
most diverse lophos, trochophore, aquatic/terrestrial, soft bodies with reduced coelom, have foot/mantle/visceral mass and some have radula
