The largest class of mollusks is Gastropoda, which includes snails and slugs. They are characterized by their single, coiled shell and their unique feeding mechanism called a radula.

Scientists classify mollusks based on their anatomical features, such as their shell structure, foot type, and presence of a radula. They are typically categorized into classes such as Gastropoda (snails and slugs), Bivalvia (clams and mussels), and Cephalopoda (squid and octopus) based on these characteristics. Genetic analysis is also used to help determine the relationships between different mollusk species.

Ammonites are members of the subclass Ammonoidea. They get their name from Pliny the Elder, a Roman historian, who called the ammonis cornua (meaning "horns of Ammon," referring to the Egyptian god who was often depicted wearing ram's horns).

No, a seahorse is not a mollusk. Seahorses belong to the animal group called fish, specifically within the family Syngnathidae. Mollusks, on the other hand, are a separate group of invertebrates that include creatures like snails, clams, and octopuses.

Snails belong to the phylum Mollusca, which also includes other animals such as clams, octopuses, and squid. This phylum is characterized by soft bodies, often covered by a hard shell, and a muscular foot used for locomotion.

The scientific name for zebra mussels is Dreissena polymorpha.

The major genera of mollusks include octopus (genus Octopus), snails (genus Helix), and clams (genus Venerupis).

No, a conch is not a crustacean. Conchs are mollusks, specifically gastropods, not crustaceans. They are characterized by their spiral shells and belong to the family Strombidae.

No, a conch is not a vertebrate. Conchs are marine mollusks with a spiral shell, belonging to the phylum Mollusca. Vertebrates, on the other hand, are animals with a backbone.

It is recommended to avoid eating raw or undercooked seafood, including conch, during pregnancy due to the risk of foodborne illnesses. It is best to opt for thoroughly cooked seafood to reduce the risk of any potential harm to both you and your baby.

No, a conch does not have legs. Conchs are marine snails that have a spiral-shaped shell and a large muscular foot that they use to move along the ocean floor.

The conch mentioned in Lord of the Flies is a conch shell, so it wouldn't be slimy at all. The creature which originally lived inside the shell was a type of mollusc (a sea snail) and it would have been slimy.

No - sea urchins are part of the echinoderm phylum, with sand dollars, starfish and sea cucumbers.

mantle

It is actually only three common structures since not all mollusks have shells. Here it is:

Head- structure that contains the mouth, brain and sensory organs

Foot- muscular structure that extends from the body and is used for movement

Mantle- fleshy tissue that covers and protects the internal organs. It also secretes the shell for most mollusks

:) B) =3 -_-

the positive way is they are food for human and the negative way is land slugs and snails damage plants

ya, yes, si.... they do have a water vascular system. They use it for moving and getting food.

:D hope this helped! :D

Mollusca is a phylum of animals, just as Chordata (our phylum) is. It's a group with wonderful variety, including animals that don't even have brains (clams and oysters), through those with very simple ones (snails and slugs) to creatures some scientists suspect are as smart as dogs or monkeys (cuttlefish and squid).

they live in the aquatic place and terrestrial places.

yes

It is used by the squid during mating season to release both mating calls and massive amounts of sperm into the water. Anyone who says they are used for breathing is a liar.

If ur doing the puzzle they're looking for whelk.

No species of snail is able to 'leave' its shell. The shell is connected to the snail like a permanent tooth. If it were to leave its shell it would die. so unfortunately the snail probably died, or was eaten by a predator.
