Q

What are some characteristics of gastropods? (4)

A
  • most are marine, but many are terrestrial and freshwater species
  • Move slowly by a rippling motion of the foot or by cilia
  • ## Most have a single, spiraled shell that functions in protection from injury, dehydration, and predationMost gastropods are herbivores, but some species use modified radula to feed on prey
