Siphons are specialized tubular structures that serve various functions in different organisms, primarily for the movement of fluids. Their function varies depending on the type of organism Read more...

The siphon is part of the mantle of the mollusc, and the water flow is directed to (or from) the mantle cavity. A single siphon occurs in some gastropods. In those bivalves which have siphons, the siphons are paired.
Cockles are filter feeders, meaning they primarily eat plankton and other small particles found in the water. They use their siphons to draw in water and filter out food particles to consume.
Pipis, also known as Paphies australis, are bivalve mollusks that typically move by extending their foot and using a series of contractions to burrow into the sand where they live. They can also extend their siphons to draw in water for feeding and respiration.
Camouflage is the process of blending into the background. It only works if the predator hunts by looking - animals who hunt by sound or smell are not fooled by camouflage! Many animals have color patterns which match the environment in which they live. If they freeze against this background, they blend in and are harder to see.
what is the function of the spur in the chicken
The clam has two siphons excurrent and incurrent
the inhalent and the exhalent siphons
siphons. Siphons are specialized structures that allow bivalves to intake and expel water for feeding, respiration, and reproduction.

They are located on the posterior side. The incurrent takes water in, the excurrent puts it out. do u know mrs sheetz??? this is an x-act question from her lab

Fist tell me what they are then ill tell you.
The clam has two siphons. The excurrent siphon (which expels water and waste out of the clam) and the incurrent siphon (which brings oxygen and food and water into the clam).
Siphons can be used as a form of locomotion. Water goes into the siphon and shoots out and acts as a form of jet propulsion, directing the squid in the way it wants to go.
they flash different colors and spray ink out of special siphons.
No.
They lead to the gut. It just gives oxygen! Hope this helps!
