Science - Zoology | | Spanish term or phrase: ceratas | Extract from a chapter from a book on ecology. TIA, Jason.
Una parte del material vegetal absorbido es digerido inmediatamente, pero en algunas especies de sacoglosos los cloroplastos del alga son retenidos, no son digeridos y permanecen activos durante semanas e incluso meses en las células de la glándula digestiva. A menudo el molusco alberga tantos cloroplastos que tiene el color de éstos, normalmente verde, pero a veces rojo. Además, hay asimismo pigmentos propios. Se les ha calificado de moluscos criptogámicos, y se ha hablado de parasimbiosis o de simbiosis de cloroplastos en referencia a esta asociación, que implica importantes adaptaciones de los animales, como las morfológicas del manto y de los **ceratas**, o de comportamiento; cleptoplastia es también un término común para referirse a este fenómeno. Pero mientras es cierto que hay adaptación, no es tan claro que haya simbiosis, por lo que se dirá más adelante. |
