Neither. while its true that moon snails consist of only one shell, they are classified as gastropods and not bivalves. Bivalves are clams, mussels, scallops and oyster, all having 2 shells, while gastropods are snails.
Its neither.Its actually a Gastropod.
A mussel is a bivalve, which means it has two shells that are hinged together to protect its soft body.
One has one and one has two
The limpet has only one shell, making it a univalve. Molluscs with two shells, such as clams and mussels, are bivalves.
No, a snail is a gastropod.
An oyster - bi (stand for two) and valves (stands for shells) - two shelled animals.
Strictly speaking, no, though an organism cannot simultaneously be both.
Bivalves, univalves, and cephalopods are all types of mollusks. So are gastropods.
Moon snails drill a hole in the shell of clams and suck them out. If you walk the beach you will find clam shells with small round holes drilled in them near the hinge. That is the work of a moon snail.
No, a snail is not a bivalve. Snails are gastropods, which are a type of mollusk that typically have a coiled shell. Bivalves, on the other hand, include creatures like clams and mussels, which have a shell consisting of two parts or valves.
Bivalves are mollusks with two shells, such as a clam. A univalve is a mollusk with one shell, such as a snail.
