Question 1 Report

The part labelled I is the

Answer Details

The diagram shows a longitudinal section of a snail (a gastropod mollusk). Four parts are labelled:

  • I points to the hard, outer protective covering that sits on top of the snail's body. This is the shell.
  • II is the mantle, the tissue layer just beneath the shell.
  • III represents the visceral mass containing the internal organs.
  • IV is the broad, flat, muscular foot used for locomotion.

The shell is a defining feature of most gastropods. It is secreted by the mantle and is composed largely of calcium carbonate. It serves as protection against predators and desiccation. Because label I points directly to this hard outer covering, the correct answer is shell.
