Question

7) Snails produce mucus to help them move along the ground.
How does the mucus help snails move?

Mucus is cold.
Mucus reduces friction.
Mucus leaves a trail.

Answer 1

Answer:mucus reduce friction between the surface and snail's body.

Explanation:mucus is a gelly material and it acts like a lubricant and hence reduces friction.

Answer 2

The correct function of mucus in snails is that mucus reduces friction.

• Snails are a type of organism that has a protective shell on its body.
• While moving, these snails secrete or produce mucus from their mouth.
• Snails use their muscled foot and mucus to effectively move or glide.
• This mucus acts have a lubricating function that acts as a lubricant between the snail's body and the uneven ground surface.
• Snail mucus is secreted for gliding movement, which decreases friction during its movement.
• As a result of the reduced friction caused by the mucus, snails may easily glide across and over the ground.
