eight arms with two additional tentacles

89
Q

what Subclass does Order Octopodiformes belong to?

A

Subclass Coleoidea

90
Q

where are members of Order Octopodiformes found?

A

all marine habitats, associated with the ocean floor

91
Q

do members of Order Octopodiformes have shells?

92
Q

Polyplacophora appear segmented because of the eight -valves- (shells). However, internally, they show no signs of segmentation, and it is not known in other Mollusca. What is the most likely explanation for this?

A

The eight shell ‘segmentation’ evolved independently in Polyplacophora

93
Q

What feature is shared by Gastropoda and Polyplacophora?

A

a large muscular foot

94
Q

What factor is responsible for the similarity of the large muscular foot shared by Gastropoda and Polyplacophora?

A

method of locomotion

95
Q

The term ‘slug’ is used to refer to Gastropods that have lost their shell. Evolutionary loss of a shall has occurred more than once. Which feature would you expect to be shared by different groups of slugs?

A

A secondary loss of torsion and reduction/complete loss of a shell

96
Q

the umbo represents what side of the shell?

A

dorsal, so the other end is ventral

97
Q

the umbo points in a direction slightly, this direction is?

A

anterior, so the opposite is posterior

98
Q

where can the hinge ligament be found?

Bivalvia

A

the dorsal side

99
Q

What feature does Scaphopoda and Bivalvia share?

A

a reduced or absent head

100
Q

What explains why Scaphopoda and Bivalvia have a reduced/absent head?

A

their method of feeding

101
Q

A bivalve way of feeding if ecologically most similar to what other organism?

102
Q

Why do you suppose the adductor muscles are so well developed un Bivalvia? (2)

A

to allow bivalves to keep their shells closed as a defense mechanism (scallops) and to help with better filter feeding

103
Q

name the three functions of the gills in Bivalves

A
  1. reproduction
  2. filter feeding
  3. respiration
104
Q

How are the gills of squid and the gills of clams different from one another?

A

The gills of squid functions only in respiration, while in clams they are for respiration, feeding, and reproduction

105
Q

WHy are sensory structures more prevalent on Cephalopoda than on Bivalvia?

A

Because Cephalopods are highly active predators, they have benefited from advances in their sensory organs, particularly vision. Sessile Bivalves do not need these adaptations.

106
Q

what are the four body region characteristic of molluscs?

A
  1. head
  2. foot
  3. visceral mass
  4. mantle
107
Q

Which Subclass/Order(s) has gas-filled chambers?

A

Subclasses Ammonoidea and Nautiloidea

108
Q

Which Subclass/Order(s) has a reduced shell to an internal ‘bone’?

A

Order Decapodiformes

109
Q

Which Subclass/Order(s) has a reduced shell as a ‘pen’?

A

Order Decapodiformes

110
