The length of carotenoids also has a role in plant coloration, as the length of the polyene tail determines which wavelengths of light the plant will absorb. Wavelengths that are not absorbed are reflected and are what we see as the color of a plant. Therefore, differing species will contain carotenoids with differing tail lengths allowing them to absorb and reflect different colors.

Mollusks. Maybe you think that snails, clams, mussels, squid, and octopods are very different. Yet, they are all in the same category of animals known as mollusks and are structurally similar. Mollusks are some of the most well known of invertebrate sea creatures (there are over 50,000 species). Some are very rare and are only found in very deep-water. Mollusks have three body regions. 1. The head contains the brain and the sense organs. 2. The visceral mass contains the internal organs. 3. The foot is the muscular part of the body. Mollusks usually, but not always, have a shell, which is secreted by a body wall called the mantle. Many mollusks have a tongue of sorts, called a radula. The radula is rough like sandpaper. Mollusks have well developed body organs that are used in the respiratory, circulatory and nervous systems. The Stomach-Foot The stomach-foots (class Gastropoda) contains about 70% of all mollusk species.
