What else can I help you with?
Do adult clams move?
Yes. Just like baby clams, they need to burrow in the sand.
How do clams use energy?
Clams use energy by opening and closing their shells to create a water current to push them so they can move.
What do clams look like?
A clam lives in a shell. They do not move. if you are woundering why they are not moving it's because they don't move.
What do clams?
Clams don't do a lot. They sit at the bottom of a lake and move very slowly across the sandy floor. They have an appendage called a foot they use to slowly move and they have have another appendage that sticks out of the shell to suck in water which they use to filter out alga and plankton which is what they eat.
How do clams support themselves?
Clams move around by opening and closing their shells repeatedly. They are not filter feeders like oysters or mussels. Since they swim around, water circulates through their shells, and they get their food that way. Clams' main predators are starfish. ( I think that's right...)
What does a clam use for a locomotion?
Clams primarily use a muscular foot for locomotion. This foot can extend and contract, allowing the clam to burrow into the sand or mud and move short distances. Some clams can also use jet propulsion by rapidly expelling water from their shells, enabling them to move quickly when threatened. However, many clams are mostly sedentary and remain in one location for most of their lives.
How are sea stars able to get clams open?
Clams open when cooked because of the pressure that builds inside of them. When temperatures increase the molecules and atoms inside of the shell move fast enough to pop the shell open.
Is there an animal that doesn't move from place to place?
yes there are multiple animals that don't move like the sponge, barnicles, clams, mucles, etc., etc., hope that helped :]
Is a sea star a non-locomotive animal?
No, they will move to find and open clams by pumping water through its legs - they are not sessile.
