Answer:

Bivalve- Wedge shaped foot

Snail- Large and flat foot

Cephalopod- Foot is modified into siphon.

Molluscs are predominantly marine animals with a soft body,however,they are known to inhibit fresh water as well as terrestrial habitat.

They possess a *muscular foot*,which is used for *locomotion and anchorage*,they vary in shape and function depending on the type of mollusc.

Snail- Foot is large and flat

Cephalopod: Foot is modified int a siphon( a tube-like organ)

ADAPTATIONS OF FOOT IN MOLLUSCS

1)Bivalves have pointed retractable foot(wedge foot) that protrudes from the wheel and is adapted for *moving or burrowing*.

2)Snail have a mucus-laden muscular foot adaptation,that reflexes and contracts allowing movement(*crawling*) in water and terrestrial habitats

3)The foot of cephalopod is adapted for *moving* about by a kind of jet propulsion in water.

dangina [55]

Answer:

There is no video but ecological relationship will be defined on a general note and it is not always beneficial to organisms.

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, organisms of the same or different species tend to interact with one another. This interaction is referred to as ECOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIP between the involved organisms. An ecological relationship can be of different types depending on the effect.

SYMBIOSIS is an ecological relationship between two organisms that interact together. SYMBIOSIS can either be mutualistic (both organisms benefit), parasitic (one organism loses and one gains), or commensalistic (one organism benefits and one neither benefits or loses). Another ecological relationship is PREDATION, where one organism called the PREDATOR feeds on part or all of another organism called PREY in order to obtain energy.

As stated above, some of the organisms involved in an ecological relationship benefits while others lose. Hence, it is not always a beneficial relationship to organisms.
