You will compare and contrast the adaptations of mollusks and segmented worms. Section Objectives: • Identify the characteristics of mollusks. • Compare the adaptations of gastropod, bivalve, and cephalopod mollusks in their biomes. What is a mollusk? • Slugs, snails, squids, and some animals that live in shells in the ocean or on the beach are all mollusks. These organisms belong to the phylum Mollusca. • Although most species live in the ocean, others live in freshwater and moist terrestrial habitats. What is a mollusk? • Some mollusks have shells, and others, including slugs and squids, are adapted to life without a hard covering. What is a mollusk? • All mollusks have bilateral symmetry, a coelom, a digestive tract with two openings, a muscular foot, and a mantle. Arm Head Tentacle Visceral mass Mantle Reduced internal shell Mantle Gut Shell Foot Squid What is a mollusk? • The mantle (MAN tuhl) is a membrane that surrounds the internal organs of the mollusk. In shelled mollusks, the mantle secretes the shell. Mantle Snail Shell Gut Head Visceral mass Mantle Shell Foot Foot How mollusks obtain food • Snails, like many mollusks, use a rasping structure called a radula to obtain food. • A radula (RA juh luh), located within the mouth of a mollusk, is a tonguelike organ with rows of teeth. The radula is used to drill, scrape, grate, or cut food. Radula How mollusks obtain food • Octopuses and squids are predators that use their radulas to tear up the food that they capture with their tentacles. • Other mollusks are grazers and some are filter feeders. How mollusks obtain food • Bivalves do not have radulas; they filter food from the water. Reproduction in mollusks • Mollusks reproduce sexually and most have separate sexes. • In most aquatic species, eggs and sperm are released at the same time into the water, where external fertilization takes place. • Many gastropods that live on land, and a few bivalves, are hermaphrodites and produce both eggs and sperm. Fertilization is internal. Reproduction in mollusks • Some marine mollusks have free swimming larvae that propel themselves. • Most marine snails and bivalves have another developmental stage called a veliger in which he beginnings of a foot, shell, and mantle can be seen. Nervous control in mollusks • Molusks have simple nervous systems that coordinate their movement and behavior. • Some more advanced mollusks have a brain. Nervous control in mollusks • Most mollusks have paired eyes that range from simple cups that detect light to the complex eyes of octopuses that have irises, pupils, and retinas similar to the eyes of humans. Circulation in mollusks • Mollusks have a well-developed circulatory system that includes a three-chambered heart. Heart Circulation in mollusks • In most mollusks, the heart pumps blood through an open circulatory system. • In an open circulatory system, the blood moves through vessels and into open spaces around the body organs. Circulation in mollusks • Some mollusks, such as octopuses, move nutrients and oxygen through a closed circulatory system. • In a closed circulatory system, blood moves through the body enclosed entirely in a series of blood vessels. Respiration in mollusks • Most mollusks have respiratory structures called gills. • Gills are specialized parts of the mantle that consist of a system of filamentous projections that contain a rich supply of blood for the transport for gases. Excretion in mollusks • Mollusks are the oldest known animals to have evolved excretory structures called nephridia. • Nephridia (nih FRIH dee uh) are organs that remove metabolic wastes from an animal’s body. • Mollusks have one or two nephridia that collect wastes from the coelom, which is located around the heart only. Excretion in mollusks • Wastes are discharged into the mantle cavity, and expelled from the body by the pumping of the gills. Diversity of Mollusks • Phylum Mollusca is large and diverse. • Three mollusk classes—Gastropoda, Bivalvia, and Cephalopoda—include the most common and well- known species. Gastropods: One-shelled mollusks • The largest class of mollusks is Gastropoda, or the stomach-footed mollusks. • The name comes from the way the animal’s large foot is positioned under the rest of its body. Gastropods: One-shelled mollusks • Shelled gastropods include snails, abalones, conches, periwinkles, whelks, limpets, cowries, and cones. • Instead of being protected by a shell, the body of a slug is protected by a thick layer of mucus. Gastropods: One-shelled mollusks • Colorful sea slugs, also called nudibranchs, are protected in another way. Gastropods: One-shelled mollusks • When certain species of sea slugs feed on jellyfishes, they incorporate the poisonous nematocysts of the jellyfish into their own tissues without causing these cells to discharge. • Any fishes trying to eat the sea slugs are repelled when the nematocysts discharge into the unlucky predator. Bivalves: Two-shelled mollusks • Two-shelled mollusks such as clams, oysters, and scallops belong to the class Bivalvia. • Most bivalves are marine, but a few species live in freshwater habitats. Bivalves: Two-shelled mollusks • Bivalves have no distinct head or radula. Most use their large, muscular foot for burrowing in the mud or sand at the bottom of the ocean or a lake. • A ligament, like a hinge, connects their two shells, called valves; strong muscles allow the valves to open and close over the soft body. Bivalves: Two-shelled mollusks • One of the main differences between gastropods and bivalves is that bivalves are filter feeders that obtain food by filtering small particles from the surrounding water. • Gill cilia beat to draw water in through an incurrent siphon. • As water moves over the gills, food and sediments become trapped in mucus. Bivalves: Two-shelled mollusks • Cilia that line the gills push food particles to the mouth. • Large particles, sediment, and anything else that is rejected is transported to the mantle where it is expelled through the excurrent siphon, or to the foot, where it is eliminated from the animal’s body. Cephalopods: Head-footed mollusks • This class includes the octopus, squid, cuttlefish, and chambered nautilus. • The only cephalopod with a shell is the chambered nautilus, but some species, such as the cuttlefish, have a reduced internal shell. Cephalopods: Head-footed mollusks • In cephalopods, the foot has evolved into tentacles with suckers, hooks, or adhesive structures. • Cephalopods swim or walk over the ocean floor in pursuit of their prey, capturing it with their tentacles. Cephalopods: Head-footed mollusks • Once tentacles have captured prey, it is brought to the mouth and bitten with beaklike jaws. • Then the food is torn and pulled into the mouth by the radula. Cephalopods: Head-footed mollusks • Cephalopods have siphons that expel water. • These mollusks can expel water forcefully in any direction, and move quickly by jet propulsion. Squids can attain speed of 20m per second using this system of movement. Direction of squid Water in Water out Cephalopods: Head-footed mollusks • Squids and octopuses also can release a dark fluid to cloud the water. • This “ink” helps to confuse their predators so they can make a quick escape. Question 2 Which of the following mollusks does NOT have a radula, and why? (TX Obj 2; 4B, 8C, 10A, 10B) A. octopus B. sea snail C. clam D. slug The answer is C. Clams are filter feeders that do not need a radula to obtain food. Question 3 Which of the following is NOT a function of the tentacles of a land snail? (TX Obj 2; 4B, 8C, 10A, 10B) A. smelling B. feeling C. moving the eyes D. capturing prey The answer is D, capturing prey. Question 4 Which are the first mollusks you would expect to be affected by pollution and why? (TX Obj 2; 4B, 8C, 10A, 10B) A. clams B. snails C. octopuses D. squid The answer is A. Clams are filter feeders. They would be most likely to ingest plankton and become polluted. Later, other mollusks like sea snails that prey on clams might ingest the same pollutant when they eat the clams. Question 5 Nephridia are organs used for _____. (TX Obj 2; 4B, 8C, 10A, 10B) A. circulation B. respiration C. movement D. excretion The answer is D, excretion. Section Objectives: • Describe the characteristics of segmented worms and their importance to the survival of these organisms. • Compare and contrast the classes of segmented worms. What is a segmented worm? • Segmented worms are classified in the phylum Annelida. They include leeches and bristleworms as well as earthworms. • Segmented worms are bilaterally symetrical and have a coelom and two body openings. What is a segmented worm? • The basic body plan of segmented worms is a tube within a tube. • The internal tube, suspended within the coelom, is the digestive tract. What is a segmented worm? • Food is taken in by the mouth, an opening in the anterior end of the worm, and wastes are released through the anus, an opening at the posterior end. What is a segmented worm? • Most segmented worms have tiny bristles called setae (SEE tee) on each segment. • The setae help segmented worms move by providing a way to anchor their bodies in the soil so each segment can move the animal along. Setae Segmentation supports diversified functions • The most distinguishing characteristic of segmented worms is their cylindrical bodies that are divided into ringed segments. • In most species, this segmentation continues internally as each segment is separated from the others by a body partition. Segmentation supports diversified functions • Each segment has its own muscles, allowing shortening and lengthening of the body. • Segmentation also allows for specialization of body tissues. • Certain segments have modifications for functions such as sensing and reproduction. Nervous system • Segmented worms have simple nervous systems in which organs in anterior segments have become modified for sensing the environment. • Some sensory organs are sensitive to light, and eyes with lenses and retinas have evolved in certain species. Nervous system • In some species there is a brain located in an anterior segment. • Nerve cords connect the brain to nerve centers called ganglia, located in each segment. Setae Gizzard Aortic arches Brain Nerve Intestine Esophagus Crop Mouth Circulation and respiration • Segmented worms have a closed circulatory system. • Blood carrying oxygen to and carbon dioxide from body cells flow through vessels to reach all parts of the body. • Segmented worms must live in water or in wet areas on land because they also exchange gases directly through their moist skin. Digestion and excretion • Segmented worms have a complete internal digestive tract that runs the length of the body. • Food and soil taken in by the mouth eventually pass to the gizzard. Digestion and excretion • In the gizzard, a muscular sac and hard particles help grind soil and food before they pass into the intestine. Crop Mouth Gizzard Digestion and excretion • Undigested material and solid wastes pass out the worm’s body through the anus. • Segmented worms have two nephridia in almost every segment that collect waste products and transport them through the coelom and out of the body. Nephridia Reproduction in segmented worms • Earthworms and leeches are hermaphrodites, producing both eggs and sperm. • During mating, two worms exchange sperm. • Each worm forms a capsule for the eggs and sperm. Reproduction in segmented worms • The eggs are fertilized in the capsule, then the capsule slips off the worm and is left behind in the soil. • In two to three weeks, young worms emerge from the eggs. Reproduction in segmented worms • Bristleworms and their relatives have separate sexes and reproduce sexually. Reproduction in segmented worms • Usually eggs and sperm are released into the seawater, where fertilization takes place. • Bristleworm larvae hatch in the sea and become part of the plankton. • Once segment development begins, the worm settles to the bottom. Diversity of Segmented Worms • The phylum Annelida includes three classes: class Oligochaeta, earthworms; class Polychaeta, bristleworms and their relatives; and class Hirudinea, leeches. Earthworms • Earthworms are the most well-known annelids because they can be seen easily by most people. • As an earthworm burrows through soil, it loosens, aerates, and fertilizes the soil. Gizzard Mouth Crop Setae Circulatory system Nephridia Earthworms Nervous system Bristleworms and their relatives • The class Polychaeta includes bristleworms and their relatives—fanworms, lug worms, plumed worms, and sea mice. Bristleworms and their relatives • Most body segements of a polychaete have many setae, hence the name. Polychaete means “many bristles”. • Most body segments of a polychaete also have a pair of appendages called parapodia, which can be used for swimming or crawling over corals and the bottom of the sea. Bristleworms and their relatives • Parapodia also function in gas exchange. • A polychaete has a head with well-developed sense organs, including eyes. Leeches • Leeches are segmented worms with flattened bodies and usually no setae. • Unlike earthworms, many species are parasites that suck blood or other body fluids from the bodies of their hosts, which include ducks, turtles, fishes, and humans. Leeches • Front and rear suckers enable leeches to attach themselves to their hosts. Leeches • The saliva of the leech contains chemicals that act as an anesthetic. • Other chemicals prevent the blood from clotting. • A leech can ingest two to five times its own weight in one meal. Origins of Mollusks and Segmented Worms • Fossil records show that mollusks lived in great numbers as long as 500 million years ago. • Gastropod, bivalve, and cephalopod fossils have been found in Precambrian deposits. Origins of Mollusks and Segmented Worms • Annelids probably evolved in the sea, perhaps from larvae of ancestral flatworms. Origins of Mollusks and Segmented Worms • Tubes constructed by polychaetes are the most common fossils of this phylum. • Some of these tubes appear in the fossil record as early as 540 million years ago. Question 1 Why must segmented worms live in a moist environment? (TX Obj 2; 4B, 8C, 10A, 10B) Answer Segmented worms must live in or near water because they exchange gases directly through their moist skin. Question 2 During mating, earthworms exchange _____. (TX Obj 2; 4B, 8C, 10A, 10B) A. eggs B. sperm C. capsules containing both sperm and eggs D. larvae The answer is B, sperm. Question 3 Using this figure, give the reason why you would determine this to be the anterior end of the organism? (TX Obj 2; 4B, 8C, 10A, 10B) 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 3 2 1 Brain Pharynx Esophagus Blood vessel Crop Nephridia The anterior portion of an organism would logically include the brain, as well as the initial parts of a gut, like the esophagus and crop (the esophagus and crop are necessary to the initial phases of digestion). 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 3 2 1 Brain Pharynx Esophagus Blood vessel Crop Question 4 Which organism would likely get the most use from a gizzard, an earthworm or a leech? (TX Obj 2; 4B, 8C, 10A, 10B) Answer A gizzard grinds organic matter into small pieces so the nutrients in the food can be absorbed. Since a leech’s food is liquid (blood), the earthworm would use a gizzard the most, to grind the food and soil it ingests. Question 5 Earthworms are considered to be ______. (TX Obj 2; 4B, 8C, 10A, 10B) A. predators B. parasites C. filter feeders D. grazers The answer is D, grazers. Mollusks • Mollusks have bilateral symmetry, a coelom, and a digestive tract with two openings. Many also have shells. • Most gastropods, such as snails, have a shell, mantle, radula, an open circulatory system, gills, and nephridia. Gastropods without shells, such as slugs, are protected by a covering of mucus. Mollusks • Bivalve mollusks have paired shells, called valves, and are filter feeders. They have no radula. Clams and scallops are bivalves. • Cephalopods have tentacles with suckers, beaklike jaws, a mouth with a radula, and a closed circulatory system. Cephalopods include the octopus, squid, and chambered nautilus. Segmented Worms • The phylum Annelida includes the earthworms, bristleworms, and their relatives, and leeches. Annelida are bilaterally symmetrical and have a coelom and two body openings; some have larvae that look like the larvae of mollusks. Their bodies are cylindrical and segmented. • Earthworms have complex digestive, excretory, muscular, and circulatory systems. Segmented Worms • Bristleworms and their relatives are mostly marine species. They have many setae and parapodia that are used for crawling along. • Leeches are flattened, segmented worms. Most are aquatic parasites. • Fossil remains of mollusks show that they first lived over 500 million years ago. Fossil records show that segmented worms first appeared 540 million years ago. Question 1 With the exception of slugs, all mollusks that are slow-moving or sessile have shells. Why? (TX Obj 2; 4B, 8C, 10A, 10B) Shells provide organisms with a place to hide that is always near them, since they cannot quickly escape a predator. Question 2 Why is a closed circulatory system more efficient than an open circulatory system? (TX Obj 2; 4B, 8C, 10A, 10B) A closed circulatory system is more efficient because blood is transported entirely in closed vessels that can reach deep into the organism’s tissues and provide efficient gas exchange. In an open circulatory system, tissues farthest from the open spaces containing blood are not so likely to be reached for efficient gas exchange. Question 3 Why do scientists consider cephalopods to be the most recently evolved of all mollusks? (TX Obj 2; 4B, 8C, 10A, 10B) Answer Cephalopods possess the most complex structures of all mollusks, such as complex eyes, complex brains, closed circulatory systems and feet that have evolved into complex structures like arms and tentacles. Question 4 Why are mollusks considered to be excellent index fossils? (TX Obj 2; 4B, 8C, 10A, 10B) Answer Mollusks are generally well preserved in the fossil record, abundant, easy to recognize, and widely distributed geographically. Question 5 Which of the following is NOT a food source for humans and why? (TX Obj 2; 4B, 8C, 10A, 10B) A. abalones B. octopuses C. ammonites D. conches The answer is C. Ammonites are not a food source for any organism, because they are extinct. Question 6 How does a leech benefit from the chemicals in its saliva that prevent clots from forming? (TX Obj 2; 4B) Answer Preventing blood clots keeps a free flow of blood available to the leech until it is done feeding. Question 7 What is the function of parapodia? (TX Obj 2; 4B, 8C, 10A, 10B) Answer Polychaetes use parapodia for swimming, crawling, and for gas exchange. Question 8 Why do annelids have such a limited fossil record? (TX Obj 2; 4B, 8C, 10A, 10B) Answer The fossil record for segmented worms is limited because segmented worms have almost no hard body parts from which fossils could develop. Question 9 What is the function of setae? (TX Obj 2; 4B, 8C, 10A, 10B) Answer Setae help segmented worms move by providing a way to anchor their bodies in the soil so each segment can move the animal along. Question 10 Which of the following features do annelids NOT share with mollusks? (TX Obj 2; 4B, 8C, 10A, 10B) A. B. C. D. coelom bilateral symmetry digestive tract with two openings segmented bodies The answer is D, segmented bodies.
