In the different lineages of molluscs, it is easy to understand the variations from the basic organizational plan in relation to the lifestyles of the organisms. For example, the clam is a buried living organism that feeds by filtration and the cuttlefish is a free predatory organism. The organization of Lamellibranchs and Cephalopods can then be related to these lifestyles. Based on the texts provided, the various illustrations and your knowledge, indicate in a short text : Adaptations to filtration in clams (and by extension in lamellibranchs)
