The feeding methods of gastropods and bivalves.

The feeding methods of gastropods:

  • They feed on from the rock surface.
  • They feed on seaweeds, animals that are static.
  • They use a hard plate that is present in the teeth called radula for feeding.
  • They are not filter feeding organisms.

The feeding methods of bivalves:

  • They feed form the water.
  • They feed on phytoplankton that are seen in water.
  • They feed on the smaller things that pass through their grills.
  • These are filter feeding organisms.
