oxygen is absorbed into the clam through the incurrent siphon, and carbon dioxide is exported out of the clam through the excurrent siphon
lungs and mouth
No, a clam is not a fish. Clams are mollusks, specifically bivalve mollusks, and are characterized by having a two-part shell. Fish, on the other hand, are aquatic animals with fins, gills, and a backbone.
Two functions of a clam's gills are to extract oxygen from the water and separate sand particles from food particles and water when being digested.
There are two main gasses that are exchanged in the lungs: carbon dioxide and oxygen. The lungs use tiny air chambers called alveoli to take in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide.
The mantle of the clam lines the valves, and serves to secrete calcium carbonate in the formation of the clam's shell while protecting the clam's visceral mass.
There are two explanations They smell because of ther bodies natural gasses and liquids inside of them, the mucus on there gills may secreet an oder, and there enviroment.
The clam has two siphons. The excurrent siphon (which expels water and waste out of the clam) and the incurrent siphon (which brings oxygen and food and water into the clam).
the mussel of the clam keeps the shell together. But they can open it if the want.
There are two gills located on each side of a perch. The Opercula is the covering that protect the gills.
Just as we have a left and a right Lung, fish have left and right gills, so they all have two sets of gills.The average is two because the number of gills for all fish is two
