Which shell can open and close?
The shell that can open and close is typically associated with bivalve mollusks, such as clams and oysters. These shells consist of two hinged parts (valves) that can be opened to allow the organism to feed or breathe and closed for protection against predators and environmental threats. The opening and closing mechanism is facilitated by a group of muscles that control the shell's movement.
