Like some arthropods, most members of this phylum bind oxygen to copper in a plus two oxidation state within the metalloprotein hemocyanin, which is suspended in hemolymph. Organisms in this phylum are characterized by the presence of a tongue-like ribbon with chitinous teeth called a radula. Some members possess a conchiolin and calcium carbonate shell secreted by a soft mantle covering. For 10 points, name this animal phylum that contains cephalopods, such as cuttlefish, and gastropods, such as snails.
