Phylum Nematodes (Roundworms)
The round worms or nematodes live practically everywhere. They have only longitudinal muscles and so have a characteristic whip-like motion. Most are free-living and some such as the hook worm are parasitic.

As a member of a group, you will be exploring the world of invertebrates. Your group will be responsible for creating a lesson during which you will fascinate your classmates with your knowledge of certain invertebrates.
Phylum Euglenophyta
Organisms in the Euglenophyta have two flagella, a contractile vacuole, a photoreceptive eyespot, several chloroplasts, lack a cell wall, and can live as either autotrophs or heterotrophs.
phylum -- n. A category in the hierarchy of animal classification between class and kingdom; phyla- pl.

Next is the Phylum. You are PHYLUM - CHORDATA. So when you were a fetus (in the womb before you were born) you had something called a notochord. That's a rod made out of cartilage.

Classification of Living Things - Phylum
The next group that scientists have developed to further classify living things is the Phylum (plural: phyla).
Botryllus schlosseri: A clonal hermaphrodite (Phylum Chordata, Subphylum Tunicata, Class Ascidian=sea squirts). It grows fast, reproduces weekly, and thus, a good model for genetic studies of protochordates.
insect - an animal of class Hexapoda (or Insecta) of subphylum Uniramia of phylum Arthropoda.
With a few exceptions, most notably the sponges (Phylum Porifera), animals have bodies differentiated into separate tissues.
Comparison of the phylogenetic classification of the rRNA sequences with our clustering results showed that each phylum usually corresponds to one or two major clusters that are adjacently ranked in our analysis.
Archaebacteria A phylum of organisims distinct from both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Ascertainment The method by which individuals (and families) come to attention for genetic study.
Class
In classification of plants and animals a division of a phylum and divided into orders.

Since Georges Cuvier named them in the early 19th century, phyla (singular phylum) have been seen as distinct and natural groupings within animals (arguably not in plants, where the level is Division).
