(a)
To determine:
The major group of mollusk, in which “two hinged shells” are found.
Introduction:
The coelomate organisms, having a fully developed
(b)
To determine:
The major group of mollusk, in which “a radula” is found.
Introduction:
The coelomate organisms, having a fully developed digestive system and have three parts of the body “visceral mass”, “foot”, and “mantle” are mollusks. These animals are included in the phylum of Mollusca. The three types of mollusks are “gastropods”, “cephalopods”, and “bivalves”.
(c)
To determine:
The major group of mollusk, in which “tentacles” are found.
Introduction:
The coelomate organisms, having a fully developed digestive system and have three parts of the body “visceral mass”, “foot”, and “mantle” are mollusks. These animals are included in the phylum of Mollusca. The three types of mollusks are “gastropods”, “cephalopods”, and “bivalves”.
(d)
To determine:
The major group of mollusk, in which “some sessile members” are found.
Introduction:
The coelomate organisms, having a fully developed digestive system and have three parts of the body “visceral mass”, “foot”, and “mantle” are mollusks. These animals are included in the phylum of Mollusca. The three types of mollusks are “gastropods”, “cephalopods”, and “bivalves”.
(e)
To determine:
The major group of mollusk, in which “the best-developed brains”, are found.
Introduction:
The coelomate organisms, having a fully developed digestive system and have three parts of the body “visceral mass”, “foot”, and “mantle” are mollusks. These animals are included in the phylum of Mollusca. The three types of mollusks are “gastropods”, “cephalopods”, and “bivalves”.
(f)
To determine:
The major group of mollusk, in which “numerous eyes” are found.
