Several phyla have a ridge of ciliated tentacles surrounding the mouth that we might consider a lophophore or a lophophore-like feature. Three of the four phyla listed below are considered true lophophorates, whereas one phyla doesn't fit nicely within the lophotrochozoan phylogeny. Which of the following phyla does not belong? Bryozoa Phoronida Brachiopoda Enteroprocta

Click on the question mark to change it to check for the statements that are TRUE or blank box for statements that are NOT TRUE about lophophorates. Sea spiders are a type of lophophorate. Bryozoans, Phoronids, and Lamp Shells are all groups of lophophorates. This picture shows species of lophophorate in the lamp shell group. A lophophore consists of sets of ciliated tentacles. Lophophorates use cilia to create feeding currents.
