Feeding Herbivores, carnivores, filter feeders, detritivores, or parasites Herbivores, carnivores, filter feeders, detritivores, or parasites Use of a radula (scrape or drilling)or siphon ( suck water in and push out) Use of a radula (scrape or drilling)or siphon ( suck water in and push out)

Respiration Aquatic Gills inside mantle cavity Aquatic Gills inside mantle cavity Land mantle cavity has large surface area lined w/ blood vessels (moist places) Land mantle cavity has large surface area lined w/ blood vessels (moist places)

Circulation Open Circulatory System (simple heart w/ vessels and sinuses-saclike spaces) Open Circulatory System (simple heart w/ vessels and sinuses-saclike spaces) Slow-moving: snails/clams Slow-moving: snails/clams Closed (network of blood vessels) Closed (network of blood vessels) Delivers oxygen faster Delivers oxygen faster Faster-moving (need more energy) Faster-moving (need more energy) – octopi/squid (higher demand for Oxygen)

Excretion Nephridia tubes remove ammonia from blood and release to outside Nephridia tubes remove ammonia from blood and release to outside Clams and bivalves simple: ganglia, nerve cords, chemical receptors, eyespots Clams and bivalves simple: ganglia, nerve cords, chemical receptors, eyespots Octopi complex: most intelligent invertebrates w/ highly-developed nervous system and brain Octopi complex: most intelligent invertebrates w/ highly-developed nervous system and brain Response

Movement Mucus Mucus Foot Foot Jet Propulsion w/ siphon Jet Propulsion w/ siphon Snails: sexually by external fertilization Snails: sexually by external fertilization Free swimming larva stage (trocophore) Free swimming larva stage (trocophore) Tentacles: internal fertilization Tentacles: internal fertilization Some hermaphrodites Some hermaphrodites Reproduction

Ecology of mollusks Some concentrate pollutants in their tisssue. Some concentrate pollutants in their tisssue. Scientists check levels of pollutants to monitor level in environment Scientists check levels of pollutants to monitor level in environment Never develop cancer Never develop cancer Research as to why can be very important Research as to why can be very important http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFOEZ h1Lbbg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFOEZ h1Lbbg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFOEZ h1Lbbg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFOEZ h1Lbbg
