The mantle excretes the calcium carbonate to make the shell of the animal...
(Among other things...)
By the way chap, lungs don't extract oxygen from water...
What else can I help you with?
Which group of invertebrates has a mantle?
Mollusks have a mantle, which is a thin layer of tissue that covers their body and secretes the shell in shelled mollusks. The mantle plays a key role in respiration, excretion, and shell formation in mollusks.
What group of invertebrates has a mantle?
Mollusks have a mantle, which is a protective layer of tissue that covers their soft body. The mantle plays a role in shell formation and can also secrete mucus for locomotion or defense.
Explain where the mantle is and what it does for mollusks?
The mantle is the fold of tissue which protects the inside mass. If a shell is not present, then the mantle forms it.
Water-dwelling mollusks have in the mantle cavity?
Gills:)! YOURWELCOME!
What traits do mollusks have?
They have a mascular foot, a visceral mass, and a mantle.
The thin folded membranous tissue that envelops most of the visceral mass in mollusks is known as what?
The thin folded membranous tissue that envelops most of the visceral mass in mollusks is called the mantle. The mantle is common on all mollusks, including those that live in freshwater.
What is the mantle retractor muscle?
The mantle retractor muscle is a muscle found in mollusks that is responsible for retracting the mantle. The mantle is a fold of skin that surrounds the internal organs of mollusks and plays a role in shell formation, respiration, and protection. The contraction of the mantle retractor muscle allows the mollusk to withdraw its soft body into the protective shell.
How is a mollusks mantle related to it's shell?
It protects there internal organs.
What characteristic distinguishes arthropods and mollusks?
Mollusks compose of the large phylum of invertebrate animals known as the Mollusca. Mollusks have a mantle, mollusks invertebrate. Arthropods have jointed appendages, arthropods have segmented bodies
What does the mantle do for the mollusks?
The mantle of the mollusk helps it protect its delecate skull and grows and shrinks when detectiong danger. The mantle also grows when sexually urged by female mollusks and the mollusk with the largest mantle wins over its mate.
What is the thin folded membranous tissue that envelopes most of the visceral mass in mollusks?
The Mantle
Most mollusks breathe with ciliated gills located in their mantle cavity?
its true as long as they are underwater
