What else can I help you with?
What organ of both fish and clam has the same function as the papulae of the starfish?
The organ in both fish and clams that serves a similar function to the papulae of starfish is the gills. Gills are responsible for gas exchange, allowing aquatic animals to absorb oxygen from the water and expel carbon dioxide. In starfish, papulae also facilitate gas exchange and help in excretion, functioning similarly to gills in terms of respiratory processes.
Functions in feeding and gas exchange within echinoderms such as the sea star?
In sea stars, the tube feet are used for feeding by capturing and manipulating prey. Gas exchange occurs through tube feet and papulae, which are small projections on the body surface that allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse in and out of the water vascular system. Water is circulated through the tube feet and papulae to facilitate gas exchange and nutrient uptake.
