Question

Radula is present in which phylum of animal kingdom???​

Answer 1

Answer:

The radula is unique to the molluscs, and is found in every class of mollusc except the bivalves, who use instead cilia, waving filaments that bring minute organisms to the mouth. Within the gastropods, the radula is used in feeding by both herbivorous and carnivorous snails and slugs.......

Answer 2

The Molluscan phylum contains the radula.

A rasping organ used for eating is the radula. It can be found in the Mollusca phylum.

Describe Radula:

• Mollusca have a feeding organ called the radula, which is frequently compared to a tongue.
• It is a thin, chitinous ribbon with tiny teeth that is primarily employed for cutting or scraping food before it enters the esophagus.
• Every class of Mollusca except for bivalves uses cilia, which are waving filaments that transport tiny organisms to the mouth, as opposed to the radula, which is a molluscan trait and is found in every class of Mollusca.
• Both herbivorous and carnivorous snails and slugs use the radula in gastropods to feed.
• The way the teeth (denticles) are arranged on the radular ribbon varies greatly between groups.

The radula is used to graze by scraping diatoms and other minute algae off rock surfaces and other substrates in the majority of the more primitive lineages of gastropods.
