Squids and other cephalopods can move rapidly thanks to their unique locomotion mechanism, which involves a siphon that expels water. By drawing water into their body cavity and then forcefully expelling it through the siphon, they can achieve quick bursts of speed. Additionally, their flexible bodies and streamlined shapes reduce drag in the water, allowing for agile movements. This combination of jet propulsion and body flexibility enables them to evade predators and hunt effectively.

They take in water and shoot it out behind them like a jet.

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
How do squids move in the water?
With their tentacles.
What is a cephalopod and how does it move?
Answer 1A squid or an octopus.Answer 2A better answer for this question would be: They are an invertebrate in the phylum Mollusca meaning "soft bodied" (Mollusks). The class Cephalopoda means "head foot", meaning their arms and tentacles come from the head. All of their internal organs are cased in the soft section of the body called the mantle. There are actually 4 types of cephalopods: squids, octopuses, cuttlefish, and nautiluses. Each are unique in their own ways. For instance the nautilus is the only cephalopod that does not hunt. They are found in all oceans.
Do sharks move like squids?
No, they swim with their fins like fish do
How is a cephalopods way of moving different from that of most mollusks?
Cephalopods are the only mollusks with a closed circulatory system. They have two gill hearts (also known as branchial hearts) that move blood through the capillaries of the gills. A single systemic heart then pumps the oxygenated blood through the rest of the body. Like most molluscs, cephalopods use hemocyanin, rather than hemoglobin to transport oxygen
What state of matter has particles that move very rapidly?
The state of matter with particles that move very rapidly is the gaseous state. In gases, particles are far apart and move freely, colliding with each other and the walls of their container at high speeds.
How do giant squids move?
they jet through the water at really high speed
How does a chambered nautilus move?
like other cephalopods the nautilus moves via "jet propulsion" by shooting water out of its hyponome (funnel). Unlike other cephalopods it lives in a hard shell and therefore does not have a muscular mantle. Instead it has a flap on its hyponome that when it is closes increases the velocity of water moving out the funnel. This is analogous to placing your thumb over the end of a garden hose.
