Gastropods are animals such as snails. Some are carnivores and eat small insects like ants or aphids. Some are herbivores and eat various plants.
no gastropods are snails and slugs, oysters are bivalves as are scallops, muscles, and clams
There are three main classes of mollusks: Gastropoda (snails and slugs), Bivalvia (clams, mussels, oysters), and Cephalopoda (octopuses, squids, nautiluses). Each class has unique characteristics and habitats.
They eat bivalves and other snails.
Oysters, clams, and other bivalves.
Oysters, clams, and other bivalves.
Gastropods (such as slugs and snails) and bivalves (such as clams and mussels) are both invertebrate mollusks.
No, jellyfish are neither of these. The gastropods and bivalves belong to the phylum Mollusca, whilst jellyfish are Cnideria. Jellyfish are in many ways more primitive than molluscs, and lack many of their structural features.
Yes! All plants and animals are in the food chain, because all plants and animals eat and are eaten.
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 eaten by a variety of predators in aquatic ecosystems, including fish, crabs, sea stars, birds, and some marine mammals like otters. These animals have adapted to crack open the shells of bivalves to access the nutritious soft tissues inside.
No, the conch is not an arthropod (phylum Arthropoda) but rather is a gastropod mollusc (phylum Mollusca) along with other sea snails, land snails, bivalves, etc. Aquatic arthropods include creatures like crabs, lobsters and shrimp.
they are in the class cephalopoda, which also includes cuddlefish.
