How do planarians and tapeworms differ in their ability to detect light?
Planarians have eyespots which help them to sense light. They cant see any clear object but they can tell what is light or dark. Tapeworms dont see anything because they live inside our bodies and its dark so they dont need to see anything.
Is it true that adult planarians can focus well enough with their eyespots to form images of objects in their environment?
No, adult planarians are not able to form detailed images of objects in their environment with their eyespots. Eyespots are light-sensitive organs that can detect light and shadows, but they do not have the ability to create detailed images like a true visual system. Planarians rely more on their chemosensory capabilities for navigating their environment.

What are the eyespots of a starfish able to sense?
light.
Are instruments able to detect the light?
Yes. Specialized instruments called photodetectors are able to sense light.
Are protozoa are able to sense light.?
I have no idea you tell me !
Are planarians symetrical?
Planarians have bilateral symmetry.
How does a planarians response to light relate to survival?
Planarians exhibit a behavior known as phototaxis, where they move away from light sources. This response is critical for their survival as it helps them avoid potential predators and harsh environmental conditions associated with bright light. By seeking dark, moist environments, planarians can maintain their habitat, conserve moisture, and enhance their chances of survival and reproduction. This adaptive behavior underscores the importance of sensory responses in the evolutionary success of organisms.
Are protozoa able to sense light?
Yes, some protozoa are able to sense light through structures called eyespots or photoreceptors. These structures can help protozoa detect changes in light intensity and orient themselves in their environment.
Why do planarians regenerate?
Planarians are able to regenerate because they have a population of adult stem cells called neoblasts that can differentiate into any type of cell needed. These neoblasts are responsible for the continuous growth and renewal of tissues in planarians, allowing them to regenerate lost body parts.
Do the plan-aria move toward or away from light?
Planarians exhibit a fairly strong negative geo-tropism and would move away from light.
Planarians are parasitic segmented worms?
Planarians are neither parasitic or segmented. They are flatworms.
