OUT- The first thing scientists look at when they classify mollusks is

whether or not the animal _____________________.

Mollusksthe body plans of mollusks include a mantle, visceral mass,

head, and foot.

Classification of Mollusks– Gastropods typically have one shell, a foot, and

eat using a radula (a file-like tongue).– Bivalves have a hinged two-part shell, a muscular

foot, and eat by filtering their food from the water.– Cephalopods have a head, a foot which has been

modified into tentacles, and a well-developed nervous system.

Value of Mollusks– Mollusks are food for many animals, have

commercial uses, and are used for research.

Reading pages360-364 and takingCornell notes

IN- Mussles, Clams, Oysters and scallops are often called “shellfish”, why is this

misleading?

OUT- Why is an open-circulatory system able to

meet the needs of a gastropod & not an octopus

I’m off to Red class, Ihate mornings.

GASTROPODS-“stomach footed”

~75,000 species~

Why am I most active at night oron cloudy days ?

BIVALVES-whydid they name that?

Pssst, what does it meanto clam up?

~30,000 species~

Do I look like I have a“HEAD FOOT”?

Cephalopods

Hi, I’m a squid-I have a well developed nervous system and large eyes

We are allpredators

I have an internal shell (cuttlebone), I am also well known for my ability to rapidly change colors, color patterns, color Intensity to blend in with my background. Who am I?

Have you looked inthe mirror lately?

I have a closed circulatory system-unlike other mollusks, because I love being active!

IN-Identify some positive and negative ways that mollusks affect humans.

OUT- Why is it unlikely that you would find garden slugs

or land snails in a desert?

IN- How can I use the idea of an “oyster turning a grain of sand into a pearl”, when I work with others?

OUT- “When you are not working out, someone, somewhere is and when you meet, they will win!” How does this quote relate to our

video “the survival game”?

In- Tangled up w/reefs

OUT- What physical feature is unique to ECHINODERMS?

OUT- Why must animal species adapt to their environment?

IN-Why would the ability to regenerate lost body parts(arms) be an important adaptation for sea stars, brittle stars, and other echinoderms?

Echinoderms have a hard endoskeleton covered by bumpy or spiny epidermis;They have radial symmetry, a mouth, stomach, and intestines.They have no head or brain, but they do have a nerve ring around the mouth.They have a water-vascular system connected to thousands of tube feet.Examples~sea stars, brittle stars, sea urchins, sand dollars, sea cucumbers

My wife wants a new pet, Tradarius suggested this… whatcha think?
