Hinge ligament :)
the mussel of the clam keeps the shell together. But they can open it if the want.
posterior and anterior adductor muscles
The clam does. Clams and other bivalves have very strong muscles that hold the shells tightly closed whenever they're in danger.
Some stoves are referred to as clam shells because they resemble the form and function of the shells of a clam. They are compact with hinge joining two halves.
A pile of clam shells is not a population because they are not living things so they can not be a population
No, growth rings are not typically found on living clam shells. They are commonly found on fossil clam shells and can provide information about the age and growth patterns of the clam when it was alive.
Clam shells are quite durable.
Bivalve mollusks like clams hold their shells closed with their muscular bodies. They also have leathery "hinges" at the rounded part of the shell which help to hold the two halves together. These are similar to ligaments in higher animals. If you ever get a clam in the supermarket that is already open, that one is dead and you should not eat it.
When it opens it's mouth slash at the thing that holds it together

Mussels have slate gray shells, and they are longer and thinner than clam shells, which are off white, and almost round in shape.
