Three things that a clam makes within its body are its shell, byssus, and sperm. The shell is made when a thickened rim of muscular tissue at the mantles edge deposits a new shell material. The rings on the clam indicates the age of the clam. The byssus which serves as an anchor to hold the clam to grains of sand and rocks, is produced by a gland that is found in clams that are in the early stages of life. The sperm of a clam is released into the water during mid-summer when the water is warm and planktonic food is abundant.
In the cellular respiration of clam, the organism takes in Oxygen and Sugar (food). Then they acquire Carbon Dyoxide and ATP. The formula of this process is
O2 + C6H12O6 -------> CO2 + ATP.
This is how enzymes work in a clam
