What are the two shells of a clam held by?
The hinge ligament hold the two shells together as well as the adductor muscles which controls the opening and closing of the bivalve.
What hold the two shells?
The two shells are typically held together by a hinge that connects their edges, allowing them to open and close. In the case of bivalve mollusks, like clams and oysters, the adductor muscles enable the shells to clamp tightly shut for protection. Additionally, the soft tissue inside the shells, known as the visceral mass, helps maintain their structure and provides support.
What is the answer for shells that are held together by muscle and teeth.?
PENISES!!!! in my bung hole
Does a gastropod have two shells held together by hinges and strong muscles?
no
How and where are the valves of a clam held together?
Bivalve mollusks like clams hold their shells closed with their muscular bodies. They also have leathery "hinges" at the rounded part of the shell which help to hold the two halves together. These are similar to ligaments in higher animals. If you ever get a clam in the supermarket that is already open, that one is dead and you should not eat it.
How do bivallve move?
they have two shells held together by hinges and strong muscles
Do mollusk cells have a nucleus?
No. There are different classes of mollusks. Gastropods (shell-less or single-shelled), Bivalves (2 shells held together by 1 of 2 powerful muscles), and Cephalopods (Small internal shells or no shells at all)
What are mollusks that have two shells held together by hinges and strong muscles called?
they are called bivalves .(:
What holds a hinge together?
A hinge is held together by a pin or rod that runs through the knuckles of the hinge leaves, allowing them to pivot open and closed. This pin is usually secured in place by screws, rivets, or other fasteners. Additionally, hinges may also have built-in mechanisms such as ball bearings or bushings to help reduce friction and ensure smooth motion.
How is an element held together?
An element is held together by the attraction between the positively charged nucleus and negatively charged electrons in its atomic structure. This attraction is governed by electromagnetic forces, which keep the electrons orbiting around the nucleus in specific energy levels or shells.
What are some bivalve characteristics?
They have 2 shells held together by strong muscles.Most remain in one place much of their lives. Most are filter feeders.
What chemical bond holds oxygen atoms to phosphors atoms?
They are held together by covalent bonds (they share the electrons in the outer shells, instead of losing or gaining them)
