Cephalopods and mollusks are both part of the phylum Mollusca, but they have distinct characteristics. Cephalopods, such as octopuses and squids, are known for their advanced nervous systems, complex behaviors, and ability to change color and texture for communication and camouflage. Mollusks, which include snails, clams, and oysters, typically have a softer body covered by a hard shell and exhibit a wider range of body structures and habitats. Both groups possess a muscular foot and a mantle, which plays a crucial role in respiration and shell formation.

No. Squids and octopi are a class of mollusks called Cephalopods, and as with all mollusks, cephalopods are invertebrates.

What two features do cephalopods share with humans that other mollusks do not?
Cephalopods are a phylum of mollusks that include squids, octopi, the chambered nautilus, and cuttlefish. All cephalopods have tentacles, most are carnivores, and they are all mollusks. All mollusks have a radula, or toothy tongue, a mantle, or thin layer of tissue that covers the organs and makes the shell, and a muscular foot.
What is the mollusks most specialized members?
the answer is cephalopods which means head-foot
What are the major characteristics of the class cephalopoda?
I think you mean "Cephalopods". They are a group of mollusks and include octopuses, squids, cuttlefishes, and nautiluses.
What features relate cephalopods to another mollusks?
Cephalopods share several key features with other mollusks, including a soft-bodied structure and a muscular foot, which in cephalopods is modified into tentacles. They also have a mantle, which is a significant part of their anatomy that aids in respiration and locomotion. Additionally, like other mollusks, cephalopods possess a radula, a specialized feeding organ used for scraping food. These features highlight their evolutionary relationship within the mollusk phylum.
