What organs do gastropods have?
heart,foot,radula,intestine,anus,esophagus, and ganglia
A row of tiny teeth found in gastropods and cephalopods is called?
I believe you're referring to a structure called a Radula.
How do gastropods reproduce?
Gastropods obtain food by crawling around and looking for it. When they find it, they use their radula (sharp teeth-like structures that rotate) to scrape food off of things. For example, if a gastropod finds some algae on a rock, they will use radula to scrape the algae off the rock. Gastropods do not chew they scrape things off and digest it.
What do bivalves lack that other classes have?
other molluscs have a radula which is lost in the bivalves, they also have a reduced head and nervous system. most are also lamellibranchs (filter feeders) which is why they have lost the radula (used for rasping plant life by herbivores such as the gastropods).
What are some animals with a radula?
Some animals with a radula include snails, slugs, and certain types of mollusks like chitons and some species of squid and octopus. These animals use their radula, which is a specialized feeding structure with tiny teeth, to scrape and shred food.
Mollusks except for the filter feeding bivalves have a specialized feeding organ known as the?
radula. The radula is a tongue-like organ equipped with rows of small, chitinous teeth that are used to scrape or rasp food particles off surfaces. It is primarily found in gastropods such as snails and slugs, but is also present in other mollusk groups like chitons and some cephalopods.
What do Gastropod Bivalves and Cephalopoda eat?
Gastropods are animals such as snails. Some are carnivores and eat small insects like ants or aphids. Some are herbivores and eat various plants.
DO GASTROPODS OBTAIN OXYGEN?
Yes, gastropods obtain oxygen primarily through gills or lungs, depending on their habitat. Aquatic gastropods typically use gills located in their mantle cavity to extract oxygen from water, while many terrestrial gastropods have evolved a lung-like structure that allows them to breathe air. This adaptability enables them to thrive in various environments, from oceans to freshwater and land.
Do oysters have a radula?
No. Oysters do not have a radula
What is a radula and what is it used for?
Certain mollusks have rough raspy tongue-like organs called radulas. These mollusks include snails, and slugs. Another animal called the hagfish lives in marine environments and uses its radula to eat dead carcases in its water environment.
Are snail worms?
No, snails are gastropods.
