Examples
garden snails
Evolutionary Milestones,
enclosed body cavity
Habitat,
most live in saltwater, but many others live in freshwater and on land
Anatomical/Structural Features
(may be a labeled picture),
refer to slideshow below
Mollusks have an open circulatory system with a simple and highly developed nervous system.
Acquire nutrients (autotroph/heterotroph/etc)
heterotroph
Predator (who do they eat… if applicable),
bacteria, algae, plants. depends on where they live
Prey (who eats them… if applicable),
many animals eat mollusks
Symmetry (If applicable- normally only in Animals),
