How do clams and oysters get there food?
They filter tiny organisms from the seawater, like plankton. Clams filter feed by drawing in water containing food using an incurrent siphon. The food is then filtered out of the water by the gills and swept toward the mouth on a layer of mucus. The water is then expelled from the animal by an excurrent siphon.

What is the substance oysters use to make pearls?
Answer Believe it or not oysters do not actually create what most consider pearls. Pearls are created by bivalve mollusks from the family Bivalvia. True oysters are from the family Ostreidae and are not known for producing pearls. A natural pearl is primarily induced for two reasons: a parasite may burrow into the mantle tissue of a mollusk or the mollusk shell may sustain damage, damaging the mantle tissue. For sake of explanation I will stick to the parasite method. The parasite burrows into the soft tissue of the mollusk, typically through the shell. It becomes lodged in the mantle tissue. This tissue contains cells known as epithelial. These cells grow a sac around the intruder and then begin layering it with platelets composed of aragonite and calcite. This is the chemical composition of nacre. A pearl is composed of nacre.
In Massachusetts is it against the law to put tomatoes in clam chowder?
clam chowder (: dont ask why...
The short answer is "no". The Longer Answer
Every mollusk can theoretically grow natural pearls. But pearls from mollusks such as clams are very rare, and they are not actually considered pearls. Clams are not nacreous so they do not excrete the combination of aragonite and calcite known as nacre which is the building block of pearls. Their excretions instead are known as calcareous concretions. These "pearls" are not usually of much value and only hold a place in the collectors' market.
