What are tube feet on a star fish?
Tube feet are a series of small tubular projections that can be find on all echinoderms, including the star fish. By pumping fluids in and out of these tubes, hydraulic pressure is created that can be used to grip onto a surface or circulate materials around the feet. In star fish, tube feet are often used as suction cups to keep a grip on the environment and prevent being swept away by undersea tides.
How do starfish stay on the rocks?
The starfish takes in water into the tube feet, (expanding the tube feet) the water is then forced out of the tube feet, (contracting the tube feet) making it able to grab onto the object.
Do protists have tube feet?
No , these are present in echinoderms .
Are mollusks prokaryotic?
Mollusks are Eukaryotes
Will a sea star be able to eat clams without using its tube feet. Explain?
No. Without their Tube Feet, they will be unable to move, nor to open a clam's tough shells.
Do mollusks have adaptation for there feet?
yes
What is definition of starfish?
A marine echinoderm with five or more radiating arms. The undersides of the arms bear tube feet for locomotion and, in predatory species, for opening the shells of mollusks.
What is the locomotion of the Molluks?
muscular feet is the locomotory organ in mollusks
How do the tube feet of a starfish pull open the shells of mollusks?
they are called suckers on the ends of the tube feet. they are controlled by the water-vascular system in echinoderms, such as starfish.
How do mollusks move place to place?
Use there feet to crawl walk or dig.
What are tube functions of the tube feet?
One of the functions for tube feet are for movment, and also so they can pry open their clams.
What are the function of the tube feet?
Tube feet are structures that operate like a suction cup.
What structures of defense do mollusks have?
Defensive strategies employed include the presence of spines, toxins, which can be inherent or delivered through the tube feet, and the discharge of sticky entangling threads by sea cucumbers. Being stabbed by a sea urchin may result in painful injury.
What are the simple tube-shaped organs through which mollusks eliminate nitrogen-containing wastes called?
Its going to be a.gills
The methods a starfish uses to obtain its food?
Most starfish eat mollusks, principally bivalves which they force open by seizing both halves of the shell with their tube feet and pulling the halves apart very slowly until the bivalve is exhausted.
How do echinoderms use their tube feet?
Echinoderms use their tube feet by using their water vascular system, so their tube feet are basically controlled by a water pressure system. Tube feet are adapted to a different uses in the groups of echinoderms by being able to use their tube feet to attach to objects as well as for protection and the gaining their nutrients.
How do mollusk move?
mollusks have a tube like foot that looks like a suckction cup
