To write:
The circulatory systems of lancelets and tunicates and to classify them as invertebrate chordates.
Introduction:
Lancelets and Tunicates both belong to phylum Chordata.
Lancelets have a segmented body whereas Tunicates have myomeric segmentation.

Explanation of Solution
A) The circulatory system of Lancelets:
- Lancelets are those marine organisms that belong to sub-phylum Cephalochordata and is non-sessile in nature.
- The circulatory system is simple but with no heart who transports food in the body.
- They live under the sand and are in need of warm temperature and tropical seas.
- They are blade shaped animals and are the closest living member of vertebrates.
- They have notochord which extends from the head region.
- They do not develop any bony skeleton.
B) The circulatory system of Tunicates:
- Tunicates are those marine invertebrates whose outer coat is hard and rubbery.It belongs to the sub-phylum Urochordata .
- The circulatory system is well developed with a heart.
- They thrive in a dark and shaded locations.
- They are barrel-shaped animals.
- The larva forms distinctive features of chordates and adults have pharyngeal slits. Notochord is absent in adults.
- They contain cellulose like carbohydrate material, which covers their body.
Thus, chordates have two species, they are: Lancelets and Tunicates. They are invertebrates because they don’t have backbone.
