They use cilia to pull water into the shells and over their gills, which are covered with a thick mucus lining. Small organisms and organic material that have been floating in the water get stuck the the mucus, which flows into the mouth.

A mussel is a bivalve, which means it has two shells that are hinged together to protect its soft body.
Bivalves obtain oxygen through their gills, which are feathery structures that extract oxygen from water as it passes through the bivalve's mantle cavity. The gills have a large surface area for efficient oxygen exchange, allowing the bivalve to breathe while submerged.
Yes, clams and oysters are alive. They are muscles (bivalves). bivalves are a type of marine animal with a shell on both sides. They bury themselves in the sand in the ocean and eat plankton. Oysters can get very big, clams don't get to be as big.
A bivalve typically has two valves or shells that are hinged together. These shells provide protection and support for the soft body inside.

Yes, pipis, which are a type of bivalve mollusk found in sandy coastal environments, do breathe. They absorb oxygen from the water through their gills, which are specialized organs that also help them filter food from the water. Pipis can also respire through their skin, but their primary method of breathing is through their gills.
