question
A marine biologist dredges up a small animal from the bottom of the ocean. It is uniformly segmented, with short, stiff appendages and soft, flexible skin. It has a complete digestive system and a closed circulatory system, plus multiple true coeloms. Based on this, you determine that the animal must be a(n) _____.
answer
Annelid
question
Which of the following is true of annelids?
answer
They perform gas exchange across their skin. (Cutaneous respiration occurs across their skins. Polychaetes have lateral extensions, called parapodia, which provide even more surface area for cutaneous respiration.)

answer
are soft-bodied and often covered by a shell (Members of the phylum Mollusca are soft-bodied and are often covered by a shell.)

answer
lophophorates (The lophophore is a structure common to these two phyla that bear ciliated tentacles.)
question
Which of the following is characteristic of the phylum Platyhelminthes?
answer
They are dorsoventrally flattened. (This is why they are also called flatworms.)
