THE PROCESS OF EVOLUTION DRIVES THE DIVERSITY AND UNITY OF LIFE • ROTIFERS HAVE EVOLVED FROM FLATWORMS, WHICH IS EVIDENT THROUGH THEIR SHARING OF FLAME CELLS, PHARYNX, AND NUMEROUS CILIA. • THEY ARE DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF THEIR LACK OF CIRCULATORY AND RESPIRATORY ORGANS, AS WELL AS THE PRESENCE OF A ROTARY ORGAN ON ITS HEAD.
BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS UTILIZE FREE ENERGY AND MOLECULAR BUILDING BLOCKS TO GROW, REPRODUCE, AND MAINTAIN DYNAMIC HOMEOSTASIS Ring of cilia allows for more efficient resource-gathering One type of Rotifer produces fertilized “resting eggs” which can resist drought for long periods of time Another type can contract into an inert form and lose almost all body water, and can remain in this state for years Absence of cell division allows Rotifers to resist radiation
LIVING SYSTEMS STORE, RETRIEVE, TRANSMIT, AND RESPOND TO INFORMATION ESSENTAIL TO LIFE PROCESSES INNATE BEHAVIOR: The male mating reaction of rotating around the female is an innate reflex response. It is triggered the coronal chemoreceptors making contact with a sudden increase in a species-specific chemical found only in females of the species. LEARNED BEHAVIOR: None found COOPERATIVE BEHAVIOR: See innate example
BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS INTERACT, AND THESE SYSTEMS AND THEIR INTERACTIONS POSSESS COMPLEX PROPERTIES Major food source for many species Help to decompose organic matter in soil Help with sewage treatment

OTHER UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS MANTLE CAVITY WITH SHELL
BIG IDEA 1 Molluscs share distant common ancestors with annelid worms: suggested by their larval from Molluscs most likely evolved from free-living flatworms: both are tripoblastic, bilaterally symmetric, and cephalized. But molluscs have developed an internal body cavity enclosed by membranes
BIG IDEA 2 Adaptations include the radula of the moons snail used to drill through other shells to get their food Jet propulsion movement and ink cephalopods If there is a drought, bivalves can survive exposure in an air environment Pulmonatesuse ammonia as a vehicle to excrete all their waste
BIG IDEA 3 Self-defense behaviors Little parental care Little social interaction
BIG IDEA 4 The shells of mollusks are substrate for attachment of epibionts: provide refuges from predation. Mollusks provide food for small mammals and birds. They recycle forest nutrients, and plant and animal waste Mollusks change their waste to the less toxic compound, urea, to facilitate their survival on land.
