What does a Siphon do for clams?
A siphon brings in water, and filters out the food for it.
How do clams respire?
Clams respire using both their gills and their mantle tissue. Gills remove oxygen from the water and release carbon dioxide, while the mantle tissue absorbs oxygen directly from the surrounding water. This dual respiratory system allows clams to efficiently extract oxygen from their aquatic environment.
What helps direct water over the gills of a clam?
The beating cilia on the gills of a clam help to direct water flow over the gills, allowing for gas exchange to occur. This movement of water helps the clam filter out oxygen and nutrients while expelling waste and carbon dioxide.

What do clams use for respiration?
Oysters have gills. They absorb oxygen from the water.
How do your describe the O2 - CO2 exchange in clams?
Clams perform O2-CO2 exchange through their gills. They extract oxygen from water flowing over their gills and release carbon dioxide into the water. This process allows clams to obtain the oxygen needed for respiration and expel the waste carbon dioxide from their bodies.
Can you list examples of animals which have gills?
Some examples of animals with gills are fish, tadpoles, and marine invertebrates like clams and jellyfish. Gills are respiratory organs that allow these animals to extract oxygen from water.
Is a clam a parasites?
Clams are not parasites. Clams are a type of bivalve mollusk that feed by filtering particles from water using their gills. They are not known to rely on other organisms for sustenance like parasites do.

Shellfish have gills just like fish do. They suck water into their shell and pass it over their gills, then squirt it back out again. Sometimes, you can see clams squirting water out of their shells when you are digging them up out of the sand.
Why do clam sqirt water?
Clams suck in and expel water through their siphon tubes to filter food particles out of the water, to breathe (by running the water over gills), and to eliminate waste.
