Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A lophophore is a crown of ciliated tentacles that function in feeding for some aquatic animals, such as brachiopods, bryozoans, and phoronids. Trochophore refers to the larval stage of some invertebrates, while ecdysozoan describes a group of animals that undergo molting. Lophotrochozoan refers to a clade of animals that includes the aforementioned brachiopods, bryozoans, and phoronids, but also other groups that may not possess a lophophore. Cuticle refers to the thick, protective layer covering the body of many invertebrates, such as arthropods and nematodes.
