The most common application for the binary number system can be found in computer technology. All computer language and programming is based on the 2-digit number system used in digital encoding. Digital encoding is the process of taking data and representing it with discreet bits of information.
There are nearly 100,000 species of mollusks identified today, with new species being encountered and named every year as new discoveries are made in ocean depths and tropical rainforests. The body of a mollusk is generally composed of the shell and the fleshy, living part.ollusks. The phylum Mollusca is the largest and most diverse phylum of animals next to arthropods.

Mollusks (Mollusca) are a group of invertebrates that includes squid, octopuses, cuttlefish, nudibranchs, snails, slugs, limpets, sea hares, mussels, clams, oysters, scallops, as well as many less well-known animals.Scientists estimate that there are more than 100,000 species of mollusks alive today.This makes them the second largest phylum of animals, having fewer species than only the arthropods. Mollusks have soft bodies that consist of three basic parts: a foot, a visceral mass and a mantle.ollusks are classified within the following taxonomic hierarchy: Animals Invertebrates. Mollusks are divided into the following taxonomic groups: 1  Caudofoveates and solanogastrates (Aplacophorans) - There are about 70 species of caudofoveates and 250 species of solanogastrates alive today.
