members of the class cephalopoda are very different from all other molluscs. They have a closed circulatory system, highly specialized photoreceptors, possess very large brains, display elaborate color patterns, and are very active animals. Which of the following statements are true and may help explain the uniqueness of the cephalopods?
Elaborate color pattern displays are the result of the evolution of the use of color change in courtship displays.
a completely new combination of characteristics is revealed in the group that contains the flatworms and their distinct relatives. This group is called the Lophotrochozoa. Click on the characteristics or terms below found in this group.

Based on recent molecular analyses, which of the animals listed below likely share ancestral predecessors with the Mollusca?
Tapeworms (flatworms)
where would you locate the coelomic cavity when dissecting a mollusk such as a clam?
The cavity around the heart, the kidneys, and the lumen of the gonads forms the limited coelom
which of the following statements about planaria is NOT true?
The rudimentary circulatory system has a small central heart
what is there about snails and other members of their class that makes them different from the other members of this phylum?
Their bodies twist 180 degrees bringing the posterior most part of the body just behind the head.
the parasite found in the U.S. where people contract it by eating poorly cooked pork, bear meat, etc is
Trichinella
while wading in the ocean, you find a shelled animal using its radula to graze algae off of rocks. As you approach and try and pick it up you find it tightly suction-cupped to the rocks. Additionally, you notice that it has a body protected by eight armored plates (valves). This would be enough evidence to come to the conclusion that you have found a member of the class Polyplacophora.
True
Clams burrow by using
a foot
the nervous system of a freshwater planarian consists of
a simple brain of ganglion cells leading to a ladder-type nerve network
Since flatworms and ribbon worms lack a coelom or a pseudocoel, they are termed _____________ animals.
acoelomate
Animals with three well-defined germ layers and that have one solid mass of tissue rather than tissues and organs nestled inside a body cavity are
acoelomate and triploblastic
The central axis around which the shell of a snail coils is called the
columella
A farmer in a rice paddy in Asia becomes infected with the liver fluke by
eating infected fish that is undercooked or uncooked.
Platyhelminthes have
flame cells
the name "hookworms" is due to the fact they
have an anterior end that curves dorsally like a hook
Elephantiasis is an enlargement of legs, arms, scrotum, and other tissues caused by
microscopic nematodes that reproduce and clog lymph glands, causing infection and limbs to swell
if an individual turbellarian contains organs of both sexes, it is termed ________ or hermaphorditic.
monoecious
Elephantiasis is transferred by
mosquitoes injecting larval worms into the bloodstream
Turbellarians have light-sensitive organs called ___________.
ocelli
Much of the success of nematodes is due to their
outer, noncellular, collagenous cuticle
the _______ is the layer in the outside of the clam is mussel shell that provides protection that acidic water and may be colored to hide the clam in the mud.
periostracum
Most common helminth parasite in the United States is
pinworm
the mild nematode infection somewhat common among children in the southern U.S., and transmitted as eggs from anal to oral regions by the hands is
pinworm
the main reproductive body "segment" of the cestode is called the _________
proglottid
The tongue-like, rasping organ in the head of many molluscs is the _____________.
radula
imagine a situation where you were living near a volcano and suddenly you saw the air fill up with ash from an eruption. Certain types of environmental disturbances have a similar, though less catastrophic and more long term, impact on bivalves. All of the events listed can negatively impact bivalves. Which one of the events, from a clam's point of view, represents a roughly equivalent event as the volcanic ash?
removal of riverbank vegetation so that silt and clay erosion from soil moves with rainwater into the river.
The holdfast of a tapeworm is its _______________.
scolex
The region used for attachment of a tapeworm is called the
scolex
The long chains of bags of eggs, which hang behind the head of a tapeworm, is called a
