Clams primarily use a muscular foot for locomotion. This foot can extend and contract, allowing the clam to burrow into the sand or mud and move short distances. Some clams can also use jet propulsion by rapidly expelling water from their shells, enabling them to move quickly when threatened. However, many clams are mostly sedentary and remain in one location for most of their lives.
What else can I help you with?
Does obatin and use energy have bacteria?
Yes, bacteria does obtain and use energy for locomotion.
What locomotion is used when humans sprint?
Humans primarily use running, a form of bipedal locomotion, when sprinting. This involves using a combination of aerobic and anaerobic energy systems to move quickly by taking long strides and pushing off the ground forcefully.
Will a sea star be able to eat clams without using its tube feet. Explain?
No, sea stars use their tube feet to pry open the clam's shell and then evert their stomach into the clam to digest its soft tissues. Without the use of tube feet, the sea star would not be able to access the clam's flesh to consume it.
Describe Locomotion in protozoa with reference to ciliary and flagellar locomotion and mechanism thereof?
Protozoa use cilia and flagella for locomotion. Cilia are short, hair-like structures that beat in a coordinated fashion to move the protozoa. Flagella are longer and move in a whip-like motion to propel the organism. Both ciliary and flagellar locomotion involve the movement of microtubules within the structures, generating force and direction for the organism to move.
What would most likely leave fossil remains a jellyfish a fox or a moth?
A clam is more likely to fossilize than a jellyfish.
What are the muscular organ used for locomotion in the clam?
A valvelike organ that allows it to eject water in a concentrated stream.
What does the incurrent siphon and appear adapted to do in a clam?
The incurrent siphon of a clam is adapted to bring in water, along with food particles and oxygen, from the surrounding environment. This enables the clam to filter out and extract nutrients from the water using its gills for respiration and feeding.
What is the locomotion of a clam?
they whats called a "foot",so the foot slips out of the shell sticks to the sand and then it contracts pulling the clam forward
What locomotion do you use when you sprint?
Locomotion is the type of movement you use when performing an action, to put it in lay terms. Humans use plantigrade locomotion for walking, running, sprinting, etc.
What type of locomotion are pigs?
pigs use quadrupedal locomotion.
What can I use as a substitute for clam juice in my recipe?
You can use fish or seafood broth as a substitute for clam juice in your recipe.
What do diploda use for locomotion?
Diploda being millipedes and locomotion being movement, their legs.
What is the locomotion of a Bald Eagle?
The bald eagles locomotion is its wings what they mean by locomotion is how the animal moves/ travels
What is locomotion of euglena?
They use a flagellum.
What type of locomotion does eubacteria use?
Yes, they use flagella to swim around.
How do goldfish use locomotion?
I suppose you could say that goldfish use aquatic locomotion via their fins & body in order to get food and/or exercise
How lobster use their clam?
by waveing with cheese
