Many think that the limpet has radial symmetry but this is not the case. Limpets have bilateral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry means the animal has symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.

bilateral symmetry; thats why theyre called bivalves
yes.
Porifera is the phylum with no body symmetry: it is asymmetrical.
Bilateral Symmetry
Birds, like all vertebrates, have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.
This is radial symmetry. Animals with radial body symmetry display a regular arrangement of body parts around a central axis, usually in a circular pattern.
yes.
Believe it or not Mollusks start out with bilateral symmetry. Some retain it such as slugs, snails, squid, octopuses, and limpets. Then there are others that lose it as they mature such as oysters, clams, scallops, etc.
Your skeleton is attached to your body by your mussel.
How can you identify the body symmetry of an animal

diaphragm
The homophones for "muscle" (movement of the body) and "mussel" (type of shellfish) are "muscle," and "mussel." For "humorous" (to make jokes) and "humorous" (full of humor) the homophone is "humorous."
yes, they have bilateral symmetry
yes! he has bilateral symmetry.

Using good posture can improve your body symmetry.
