Textbook Question
Chapter 57.2, Problem 1CS
(a) A quahog clam, cless Bavalvia
(b) A chlton, class Polyplacophora
(c) A snail, class Gastropoda
(d) A nudbranch, class Gastropoda
(e) A blue-ringed octopus, class Cephalopodan
Figure 34.12 Mollusks. (a) A bivalve shell, class Bivalvia, with growth rings. This quahog clam (Mercenaria mercenaria) can live over 20 years. (b) A chiton (Tonicella lineata), a polyplacophoran with a shell made up of eight separate plates. (c) A gastropod, the tree snail, Liguus fasciatus, from the Florida Everglades showing its characteristic coiled shell. (d) A nudibranch (Phyllidia ocellata). The nudibranchs are a gastropod subclass whose members have lost their shell altogether. (e) The highly poisonous blue-ringed octopus (Hapalochlaena lunulata), a cephalopod.

Students have asked these similar questions
animals in which of the following classes possess adductor muscles, labial palps, and use their gills for both respiration and feeding?
-Bivalvia
-Cephalopoda
-Polyplacophora
-Anthozoa
-Gastropoda
Briefly describe characteristics of the hypothetical ancestral mollusc, and tell how each class of molluscs (Caudofoveata, Solenogastres, Polyplacophora, Monoplacophora, Gastropoda, Cephalopoda, Bivalvia, Scaphopoda) differs from the ancestral condition with respect to each of the following: shell, radula, foot, mantle cavity and gills, circulatory system, and head.
Imagine you come across a gelatinous animal with a Medusa body plan swimming. Determine whether it is a class Svyphozoa or a Cubozoan? Give two distinct differences between the two without naming the same structure/invisible features of each animal (e.g animal x has 2 wings, animal y has 4 wings are not distinct differences)

- 1-true tissues or not- who does not have? 2- radiate/bilateria- who for sure is in radiate? 3- diploblastic vs triploblastic- what does this mean? Who are diploblasts? 4- ecdysozoans & lophotrochozoans- they are all protostomes. What do the words mean? Give examples for each.arrow_forwardThe flexibility inherent in a segmented body plan was clearly important to crustacean evolution, but why are crustaceans so much more diverse than annelids, another segmented taxon?arrow_forwardBrachiopods superficially resemble bivalve molluscs, such as clams.
