Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 4RQ
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.

Molluscs can seem extremely different yet they share several core features. Sketch, label, and explain at least 5 of these shared common features and then how each is MODIFIED in the following groups: Bivalvia, Gastropoda, Cephalopoda
Mollusca (clams, abalone, nudibranchs, snails, squid, octopi,
etc).
Unifying features include shell, mantle, radula, foot, visceral
mass
Which classes show a loss of the shell. How does the shell
benefit an organism, how does the loss of the shell benefit other
members of this phylum?
Distinguish between polyplacophora, bivalva, gastropoda, and
chephalopoda
We see the first evolution of a true eye here. Who has it?
What are chromatophores? How doe members of this group use
them?
What other unique defense addaptaions do we see in this group?
(warning colors, 2 shells, ink)
Give TWO BASIC (essential to an organism’s survival, i.e. without these, existence is not possible) structures of the Phylum Mollusca.
Give FOUR TYPICAL (distinguishing features) structures of the Phylum Mollusca.

For example, the clam is a buried living organism that feeds by filtration and the cuttlefish is a free predatory organism.
