Answer to Question #155010 in Biology for Anas

Question

Describe two distinctive features of the Molluscs??

Answer 1

First, the mollusk's body is covered with a mantle - a fold in the body that lines the shell. The mantle produces the shell, functions in respiration, waste disposal, and sensory reception. Second, mollusks have an internal or external shell composed of calcium carbonate. The shell protects the body.
