Do sea snails shed the conch and move into a new conch?
No, a conch is a mollusk which lives in a conch shell ,which it secretes itself. As the conch grows the shell gets bigger too, to accommodate it. Sea snails tend not to have any shell at all and if they do have a shell it is one that they secrete themselves. Hermit crabs live in the empty shells of mollusks and move to a new shell as they grow bigger.
you can't cut a shell but if you have amash-en it for cutting shell's
Which molluscan has got nearly 25000 teeth?
A snail (a member if the Gastropod specie) has 25,000 teeth.
Nudibranchs are a diverse order of marine organisms of the subclass Opisthobranchia,class gastropoda, and phylum Mollusca. These invertebrates are commonly called sea slugs and are popular in aquariums because they are brightly colored. In general these shell-less gastropods can be found in most marine benthic waters, including the Artic . There are even a few tropical fresh water species. Nudibranchs can be separated into distinct sub-orders. Two such suborders are Doridacea, also known as Dorids, and Aeolidaecea, also known as Aeolids . The two can be differentiated by the shapes of their mantles. Their bodies are soft and and detorted compared to their twisted relatives, the snails. Nudibranchs are defined by their exposed gills, thus the name Nudibranch which means "naked gills." Their gills are located on the outside of their body instead of hidden in a mantle cavity. In Dorid nudibranchs, the gills are in flower-like structures are called branchial plumes located on their backs. The gills surround their anal opening, and can be retracted into a gill-pocket on the mantle. The mantle is wide and typically almost entirely encompasses the foot. Aeolids do not have gills, instead they posses tentacle-like cerata made of thin mantle tissue used for respiration and defense. Nudibranchs move using a foot for crawling and by undulating of their body to swim.
Nudibranchs are sea slugs that normally live near reefs. They are very interesting. whenever they eat something that get the shape of that thing and if it is poisonous, all the poison is stored in its body. For example, if one eats a sea anenome, it takes the shape and color of that anenome and all the poison from the tentacles are stored in the new "tentacles" on the new nudibranch's body.
What is the difference between mollusks that live on land and mollusks that live in the sea?
the mollusk live in land example fish oyster
Is a mollusk warmblooded or cold blooded?
Yes because some of them are in water so they are coldblooded
Can you die from eating mussels?
Yes. This can be because they are incorrectly cooked or (more likely) that they are poisoned by toxins in the sea they were collected from. It is very common for people to get sick from mussels because of this, so when collecting or buying mussels, be aware of where they came from and whether there are warnings issued for that area.

Why is the mollusks tongue called a radula?
The mollusk's tongue is called a radula because it is a unique feeding organ that functions somewhat like a tongue, but is distinct in structure and purpose. The radula is covered with rows of tiny, chitinous teeth that help scrape, cut, or shred food, allowing mollusks to feed on a variety of materials, such as algae or detritus. This specialized organ is a defining characteristic of most mollusks, distinguishing them from other animal groups. The term "radula" comes from the Latin word "radere," meaning "to scrape."
What happens to the exoskeleton when an arthropod grows?
Because of the hardness and inflexibility of the arthropod exoskeleton, they are not suited to expansion and need to be shed or discarded entirely to allow the arthropod to grow. This action is usually called moulting.
Which kind of mollusk uncludes clams and oysters?
The kind of mollusk includes clams and oysters is called bivalves.
What do univalve mollusks feed on?
The Mollusca are a LARGE phylum of invertebrate animals which includes Bivalves (which filter feed), Gastropods (which have radulae and even some with poison harpoons), Cephalopods, Squid and Octopus (Which have beaks and arms with suckers and hooks), Aplacophora (some of which are parasites). There are probably more ways in which mollusca have found to fee than has been mentioned here but his answer gives you an appreciation of the range of methods that have evolved.
conchs live in conch hints conch shells they look like snail everyone knows the shell but nobody knows the animal
What does a ribbed mussel eat?
I have tried to find out the same exact question and all I could find was that they eat plankton and organic matter.
The mollusks are largest phylum except for what phylum?
Mollusca is indeed a very large phylum, with bivalves, gastropods, cephalopods, monoplacophorans, scaphopods, aplacophorans and chitons. However, this is not nearly enough to cap the largest phylum, which is ....... Phylum Arthropoda, with about 1 million insect species, and plenty of myriapods, arachnids and crustaceans, not to mention horseshoe crabs and pycnogonids.
What are three classes of mollusk?
There are seven classes of mollusks. These are Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Polyplacophora, Scaphopoda, Cephalopoda, Aplocophora, and Monoplacophora.
