17
Q

Which type of cephalopod possesses an external shell?

18
Q

Which of the following is generally accepted as the prevailing explanation behind the evolution of intelligence in cephalopods?

living as active predators as well as actively avoiding predators

19
Q

Members of the classes Cephalopoda and Scaphopoda are the only molluscs that possess closed circulatory systems.

20
Q

Cephalopods rely on olfactory senses for detecting prey.

Q

Members of the class Polyplacophora include the chitons, which are found on hard substrates in marine habitats.
