What is a molluscs body temperature?
All molluscs are ectothermic; this means that their body temperatures are the same as the surrounding temperature. So if a mollusc is in a pond that is 60F, its body will be 60F. Later in the day, if the pond gets up to 75F, then the molluscs body temperature will rise to 75F as well.
What adaptation does the mollusk have to protect its soft body?
What does a mollusk use to protect itself? Most have shells
No, it's an invertebrate. Invertebrates don't have spines.
In the open circulatory system of some mollusks blood is found in?
Mollusks which have an open circulatory system, have blood that is pumped into sinuses containing tissue.
No. They are insects. Molluscs are shellfish, like mussels or oysters.
Which class of mollusk is the most complex?
cephalopods, as they have sensory organs closest to vertebrates.
Can smoking out of a sea shell bad for your health?
"Sea shells" are generally made of calcium carbonate or some other closely related calcium based mineral combination. The worst that could happen is some charring of the shell which could taste bad.
Nudibranchs that eat hydroids will often take up sting cells from the hydroids and store them in the dorsal body wall. The sting cells can then be used to ward off predatory attacks.
What type of mollusk does not have a radula?
The radula (or some form of the radula) is found in all classes of mollusks except bivalves (organisms with two shells such as clams).
Mollusks are classified with other organisms that?
share similar body plans and patterns of development
Mollusks eat all kinds of things. The cephalopods (octopii, squids, and their allies) are predators of fish and other marine life. Most bivalves are pretty much herbivorous, feeding primarily on algae, though some are predators. The gastropods are also mixed, with some herbivorous, such as abalones, and some carnivorous predators, such as moon snails, oyster drills, and cone shells. Incidentally, some cone shells (Family Conidae) are poisonous enough to kill people!

At what point during the life cycle could some mollusks be considered parasites?
when the larvae come out of there shell to find a host
Can a fingerprint be traced in a seashell?
Yes a finger print can be traced anywhere. If you are asking this question you probably commited a crime.
How are seashell important to the environment?
Seashells are usually the homes of sea creatures, and wash up ashore when the dwelling creature dies. Without seashells, Oysters, Mussels, Clams, and Hermit Crabs would be much more vulnerable to predators.
there usually whitish brown with dark brown stripes.
