Some bivalves can actually swim by rapidly opening and closing their shell halves and controlling water flow with their mantle?

Yes, some bivalves like scallops can swim using their shells to expel water and create thrust for movement. This method of swimming is called jet propulsion and allows them to escape predators or move to new locations. By rapidly opening and closing their shells, bivalves can move through the water with surprising speed and agility.


How do cephalopods?

by using jet propulsion


How do giant squids move by jet propulsion?

This is a very good question. Squids move through the water at high speeds using a jet propulsion-like organ called a "siphon". What the siphon does is take in water and thrust it out, much like a jet engine. The end result is the jet-like streamline of a squid.


What is the colossal squid's locomotion?

The colossal squid moves by using its fins and jet propulsion. It can swim forward quickly by expelling water through a funnel-like structure to propel itself. The fins help with steering and stabilization as it moves through the water.

When was Jet Propulsion Laboratory created?

Jet Propulsion Laboratory was created in 1930.


What is the difference between a jet plane and a propeller?

A jet plane uses a jet engine's thrust for propulsion. A propeller is a set of blades somewhat like a big fan that blows air to the back of the plane for thrust instead of using a jet engine for the thrust to move the plane forward.


What is the purpose of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory?

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory at NASA is the lead for using robots to explore space. It is a federally funded and it is also responsible for operating NASA's Deep Space Network.


Which function on PWC will not operate at idle speed?

A PWC or Jet Ski has a water Jet propulsion system. With this system the Jet drive is used for propulsion and steering. Jet drives dont turn without using the throttle unless moving very slow and even then it is limited.


What type of propulsion system does a pwc use?

Impeller jet propulsion.


How do squid and octopuses move quickly away from predators?

Octopuses and squids can also move by using a form of jet propulsion. Water is drawn into the mantle cavity and then forced out through a tube, propelling the cephalopods backwards from danger. In addition, squids and octopuses produce a dark-colored ink when the are frightened. As this ink is released into the water, it helps to hide the mollusks/squids/octopuses and confuse its predators
