The major genera of mollusks include octopus (genus Octopus), snails (genus Helix), and clams (genus Venerupis).
Cowrie shells are mollusk shells, specifically from the family Cypraeidae. They are often found in tropical seas and are known for their shiny, smooth shells that come in various colors and patterns.
Many microorganisms are found naturally in fresh and saltwater.
space between mantle and visceral mass. Digestive, reproductive, and excretory systems all empty into mantle cavity, so basically all of its poop pours into it.
They digest through the grooves in their gills. Then they bring the food in through thr radula to their mouth. The food then goes to the digestive gland and to the intestine. Finally, the waste leaves through the anus.
Limpets are snails with a broadly conical shell which is not coiled, or appears not to be coiled. Limpets, theoretically are therefore a form of snail. All snails are known to be bivalves so i presume that limpets are also bivalves. I hope this answers your question ! This answer is totally wrong......
The correct one is:limpets are gastropods that contain one flat shell. They have one flat foot that lies under the body and this foot helps in digging.they are herbivores that feed on algae and plants and have a tongue like structure with rows of teeth that helps in digging. That's all i know.... I hope it is helpful to you..:) <3
The mantle (the inner portion of the mantle to be exact).
Yes, a chiton is indeed a herbivore. This marine mollusk eats bacteria, diatoms, algae, and bryozoans. Most species are grazers but some are predators.
No they should not eat canned clams. Feed your dog a good name brand of dry dog food only, twice daily. If you want to feed treats, stick to something like dog biscuits or small pieces of veggies.
The mollusc (or mollusk) shell is typically a calcareous exoskeleton which encloses, supports and protects the soft parts of an animal in the phylum Molluscae, like snails, clams, tusk shells, and several other classes.
Clams eat using a filtering process. They draw in water and filter out the water so that only plankton is left.
They have a hatchet-shaped foot that allow them to move, incurrent and excurrent siphons through which water passes and then they filter feed in that way, and powerful abductor muscles that draw the shell together to protect the clam's soft body.
