Solution

Mollusca:

  1. This is the second-largest animal class under the phylum invertebrate.
  2. They include soft-bodied animals which have shells and are triploblastic and bilaterally symmetrical.
  3. The phylum Mollusca is noted for having blue blood in the majority of its members.
  4. This is due to haemocyanin, a protein that becomes blue when it binds to oxygen in the blood.
