| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the body organization of Mollusks? | Shell-internal or external/for support Mantle- outside layer Visceral Mass- holds organs Foot- Muscular portion for motion Radula- scraping tongue |
| Function of the Mantle | Secretes shell and creates the mantle cavity (space inside the mantle) |
| How do Mollusck's move with foot? | Exudes mucus and snail slides on the trail to move |
| What is the least evolved taxonomically based on the Cladogram? Snail, Squid, Clam, tusk shell, Chiton. (Put in order) | (least to most) Chiton Snail Squid Clams Tusk Shells |
| Function of Gills/Ctenidia | Breathing and respiration, used to capture food by coating with mucus and sending to digestion. |
| Marsupium | Gill with eggs |
| Excurrent vs Incurrent Siphon | Excurrent- allows water to exit Incurrent- allows water to enter |
| Pallial Line | where the mantle is attached, can be seen when top shell is removed. |
| Labial Palp (function) | Senses food and moves it around |
| Are organisms in Class Bivalvia Monoecious or Dioecious, what is an example of a organism from Class Bivalvia? | Dioecious; Clam |
| How do organisms in Class Bivalvia reproduce? | Sperm is dispelled simulatenously and causes the water to turn milky, sperm is then inhaled and transported to the gills/marsupium for fertilization |
| What are Glochidia? | Larvae of the clams which are parasitic on fish in the larval stage |
| What part of the scallop do we eat? | Adductor muscles |
| What are the layers of the shell for Bivalves? | Mantle Nacre Prismatic layer Periostracum |
| How are pearls made by Clams? | When something sticks beneath the mantle, Nacre, which secretes a "mother of pearl" color builds up over time until a round pearl is formed |

| How did Corus Victoriae Conch Shells modify their radula's? | Radula became harpoon shaped and tipped with poison that stabs fish. |
| How is the Corus Victoriae venom being used for clinical use? | The venom does not cause pain it dulls it, the venom could be useful in cancer or terminally ill patients because it keeps the person actively aware of the surrounds but without pain |

| How do Octopi and Squid camoflague themselves? | When chromatophore (in octopus) contract, it spreads the pigment of the color it needs it become. Photophores (in squid) are light emitting and organs that hide their shadows from predators due to bacteria in their bodies that glow. |
| How are Octopi and Squid eyes more advanced than Humans? | They have no blind spot. |
| How do Cl. Cephalopoda reproduce? | They are dioecious and have sex but the penis is too small, therefore, tentacles are reach in, grab a spermatophore and drop the spermaphore into the mantle cavity |
