Do cephalopods produce asexually?
Note: I suspect you may be a bit confused with the difference between Asexual reproduction andHermaphrodites.Hermaphroditesare organisms that reproduce sexually but have only one gender, with all individuals containing both male and female organs. Most plants are Hermaphrodites, as are Earthworms, Land Snails, Land Slugs, and a type of fish called a Hamlet.
Asexual organisms reproduce by splitting, with only one parent. Most unicellular organisms such as bacteria (ALL Bacteria) reproduce this way.
Is a green sea turtle a cephalopod?
Nope. They are reptiles. Cephalopods are octopuses and squids and cuttlefish. Reptiles and cephalopods are not very closely related at all; cephalopods are protostomes and cephalopods are deuterostomes, and the protostome/deuterostome split occurred very early in the history of animalia.
A squid eats other smaller fish and organisms like Krill, fish, and shrimp which helps to limit the number of them in that area so the krill, fish, and shrimp dont over populate.
dark red
-- It depends on the species of squid and also how they are feeling. Squid have chromatophores that they use to change their colour. Deep sea squid are generally dark red (the red wavelength doesn't penetrate into the deep sea, making them nearly invisible) or delicate and clear. The firefly squid has blue bioluminescent chromatophores that it uses to lure prey, signal to other squid, and avoid predators by blending in with the surface ocean. When squid are calm, they are typically a light sandy colour, but if they feel threatened or are trying to ward off competitors they are often a bright red. Some are striped, polka dotted, and they come in every colour. There is not single distinct colour that squid in general are. --

Why is a squid called a squid?
The word 'squid' is believed to have appeared in the early 17th century, but the origin is unknown. Both the Collins and Oxford dictionaries list the origin as 'unknown'.
It has been suggested that 'squid' is similar to squishy and squirt - describing the texture and behaviour of the squid. This is purely based on the similarities of the words - which may be coincidental and not relate to the origin.
they can get as small as saturn
-- Pickfordiateuthis pulchella is about 2.2 cm long (less than 1 inch). --
What is the deadliest octopus?
The Blue Ringed Octopus is the deadliest octopus.Its venom is ten times as worse as cyanided. It has two venoms, one for predators, and one for prey. If you see brown rings, then your ok. If you see blue rings, then your to late.It is the smallest octopus in the world.Its as big as a golf ball.There very pretty but deadly.
A shipon is like a filter it washes water in a out (like gills) for the airway. The siphon also helps the squid move faster.
How do octopus regenerate their body parts?
It is doubtful that the Giant Pacific octopus can regenerate it's arms. After 15 years of observations, none of the octopus that had fewer than 8 arms were able to regenerate. William Hanshumaker Hatfield Marine Science Center Oregon State University
No, Octopuses eat small crabs and scallops, plus some snails, fish, turtles, crustaceans (like shrimp), and other octopuses. They catch prey with their arms, then kill it by biting it with their tough beak, paralyzing the prey with a nerve poison, and softening the flesh. They then suck out the flesh. Octopuses hunt mostly at night. Only the Australian Blue-ringed octopus has a poison strong enough to kill a person. I once saw a programme where sharks were going missing in an aquarium, it turned out to be an octopus catching and eating them, but no, the do not eat plankton.
How do cuttlefish protect themselves?
camoflage (it changes colour like some other cephalopods( octopuses and squids)) and its bone ( although budgies and giant african land snails normally eat shop bought cuttlefish bones.)
Yes ! Some scientists have discovered that they do . Many will lose them as they grow .
More likely to be a girl. Female octopus and squid are larger than the males.
I read somewhere that said Hades did, then somewhere else said Poseidon, and somewhere else said Gaia, so I'm not sure, but one of those 3 i guess
What animals are related to octopuses?
There are three types of mussels: Gastropoda(snails and slugs) bivalve(oysters and clams) and Cephalopoda(octopuses and squid). All are in the same phylum, so technically they're all related.
une pieuvre (this is a Norman word) and un poulpe (this the word used in the South of France)
