Q

What does adaptive radiation ☢️ mean in mollusks 🦑 ?

A

It means they had a common ancestor before, but the evolved and went to different environments and they became successful, and started living in those environments.
So, basically it means they came from common ancestor.

25
Different types of foot?
Outside the foot is incurrent and excurrent siphon, Incurrent siphon ;- brings food and water 💧 to the mouth. Excurrent siphon ;- takes the waste material out.
26
In molluscs Foot secretes what?
Foot secretes mucus, And that mucus is used for Adhesion and slime tract.
27
Visceral portion of the body of Molluscs?
They have Mantle and Mantle cavity. Mantle ;- it is sheath of skin, and it secrets the shell of these organisms, it also Act as Gas exchanger. Mantle cavity ;- is houses 🏠 respiratory organs, product from digestive, excretory and reproduction system emptied into Mantle cavity. Mantle cavity is an area where digestive, excretory, and reproductive materials in Mantle cavity.
28
How can food, nutrient and water can be observed in molluscs?
The water and flow of blood goes opposite ways it called (countercurrent exchange mechanism) so that’s how the food nutrient and oxygen can be absorb.

Shell or cephalopods are dived by?
It’s divided by septa, and those septa are connected together by siphuncles.

In Cephalopoda squids have what?
Squids have pen, pen is external shell of these organism. Squids also have two long tentacles 🦑 and four pairs of arms and those arms have suckers. Octopus 🐙 do not have shell, but they have two eyes.
104
Squids have what on the surface?
They have chromatophores on the surface. And it is made up of pyrimidine, and they can camouflage themselves based on the environment.
105
Locomotion of class Cephalopoda?
They expel water from Mantle cavity through a ventral siphon. We have lateral fins in squid 🦑 But octopus does not have fins 🐙
106
What is another special thing about cephalopods?
They can comaouflauge They release ink sac No cilia on gills Closed circulatory system.
107
Reproduction of class Cephalopoda?
They are dioecious. Egg 🥚 is fertilized in the oviduct.
