A clam is a eukaryote because it has a nucleus and other organelles inside the cell's membrane. The cell also contains mitochondria, ribosomes, cytoplasm, etc. The mitochondria is used to create ATP from food, this is important to the clam because without it the clam would not be able to use its byssus that helps it move and stay on ocean plants/ rocks. The cytoplasm, like in any other eukaryotic cells, holds all the other organelles in the cell in place. Ribosomes are important to the clam cell because it is the site of protein synthesis and is a protein storage.
When a clam is not in its proper habitat it has the possibility of dying. If you take a clam as a pet from the ocean it will most likely die from lack of algae and other needed things for survival. The algae is apart of the clams food menu. It also eats plankton. When clams are in the ocean there aren't that many things that can hurt it. They live best when they are on the bottom of the ocean floor where there's sand for them to bury themselves into. They like to stay close to vegetation so they don't have to travel to far to get food.
