Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bivalves, such as clams and mussels, are filter feeders, which means they actively pump water through their gills to extract food particles from the water, making them suspension feeders. Gastropods, such as snails and slugs, are typically grazers or predators and do not rely on suspension feeding. Chitons are also grazers and feed on algae and other attached organisms, whereas cephalopods are carnivores and catch their prey using their tentacles.
