What controls the opening and closing of a mussels shell?
The opening and closing of a mussel's shell are primarily controlled by a pair of adductor muscles. These muscles contract to close the shell tightly, protecting the mussel from predators and environmental stressors. When the muscles relax, the shell can open to allow for feeding and respiration. Additionally, environmental factors such as water currents and the presence of threats can influence the behavior of these muscles.
What type of mollusk swims by opening and closing its shell?
SCALLOP
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.

How many in the shell clams do you need for a quart of shucked clams?
To yield a quart of shucked clams, you typically need about 3 to 5 pounds of in-shell clams, depending on their size and species. Smaller clams will require a larger quantity to reach a quart, while larger clams will yield more meat per shell. It's best to check specific recipes or guidelines for the type of clams you are using, as the yield can vary.
Is scallop a skin or scale fish?
An edible bivalve mollusk (family Pectinidae) with a ribbed fan-shaped shell. Scallops swim by rapidly opening and closing the shell valves.
