Summary Introduction
To describe: The way in which the lifestyle of a gastropod differs from that of a cephalopod.
Introduction: The Lophotrochozoa is one of the two major classes of protozoans that include the bilateral animals. They are triploblastic animals and most of them have a true coelom and a tube-within-a-tube body plan. The Lophotrochozoa include the platyhelminthes (
Summary Introduction
To identify: Adaptations that have evolved in gastropods and cephalopods for its particular lifestyle.
Introduction: The Lophotrochozoa is one of the two major classes of protozoans that include the bilateral animals. They are triploblastic animals and most of them have a true coelom and a tube-within-a-tube body plan. The Lophotrochozoa include the platyhelminthes (flatworms), rotifers, nemerteans, mollusks, annelids, and lophophorate phyla. Mollusks are divided into four clades, namely chitons, gastropods, bivalves, and cephalopods.

How does the lifestyle of a gastropod differ from that of a cephalopod?Identify adaptations that have evolved in each for its particular lifestyle.
Why is the internal shell of Cephalopods significant to their adaptation?
The basic body plan of a mollusk is to have a head, foot, and visceral
mass. In the case of the cephalopods, the foot;
Has become part of the digestive system
Has been modified into a beak
Has been modified into tentacles
Has been modified into part of the respiratory system
