Five characteristics shared by all worms?
biologist classify worms into three major phyla-flatworms roundworms and segmented wormsYes, that is true, but those are not characteristics! Some of their characteristics are:-A knot of nerve tissue-Sense organs-Sexual reproduction-Bilateral symmetry-Obtaining food by sucking their hostsGood luck!!!! I know science can be challenging at times!!!!!! :D
What are the three major phyla of worms?
Flatworms are divided into two groups, parasitic and nonparasitic. The parasitic types, which live off of other organisms, consist of Cestoda, Trematoda, and Monogenea flatworms.
What is the phyla of a worm?
It depends what type of warm you are referring to. Flatworms belong Platyhelminthes Tubeworms belong to Nematodes and Segmented worms belong to Annelids Centipedes and Millipedes are not worms. They belong to the Arthropod Phylum.
What does a worms mouth do?
Worms (excepting the flatworms) are the simplest animals to have a one-way digestive tract (that is, they do not expel waste from the same hole that they eat through). Originally, the animals for whom it is taxonomically correct to call worms were all classified under the single phylum Vermes; later, they were split into three separate phyla: Platyhelminthes (planarians, or flatworms, this being the simplest of the three worm phyla) Nematoda (nematodes, or roundworms) and Annelida(annelids, or segmented worms such as earthworms and leeches; this is the most physiologically complex of the three worm phyla); over time, several new phyla have been developed.Worms are so separately classified partially because their eating habits and oral anatomy are so diverse. Many, such as earthworms, are decomposers (dirt and debris eaters); earthworms suck food into their bodies and push it down along the body using peristaltic muscular contractions. Other worms, such as leeches and many varieties or roundworm and flatworm, are parasitic. Some species of leeches can bite humans, latching on with their suckers and secreting anticoagulant to keep the blood flowing into the gullet. Roundworms have a digestive system lined with hard cuticle and often ridges; some species (the carnivorous ones) have teeth; others have a stylet that they can poke into other organisms to suck fluids out.Unlike roundworms and annelids, flatworms do not have a mouth; they absorb nutrients through their skin. However, flatworms are the simplest animals to have a specialized digestive and excretory system.
How are worms classified?
There are three different groups of animals known as "worms": flatworms (phylum: Platyhelminthes), roundworms (phylum: nematoda), and segmented worms (phylum: annelida).
What are three major worm phyla?
flat worms,segmented worms, and round worms.
Which of the animal phyla was the first to evolve three germ layers?
The first animal phylum to evolve three germ layers was the Cnidaria. These germ layers are the ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm, found in more complex animals for the development of different structures and organs.
Are Platyhelminthes motile?
No. there are three kinds of worms: platyhelminthes- flatworms(not) nemahelminthes-roundworms(not) annelids-segmented worms( segmented)
What does a flatworm have inside its body?
Flatworms and Roundworms have bilateral symmetry as a body type.
How many cell layers do a flatworms have?
there are three
What are the three main differences among the three phyla of worms?
los odio
How do platyhelminths differ from nemathelminths?
Brief answer only. Phyllum Platyhelminthes are the flatworms. These have three layers of cells. Phyllum Annelidia are the segmented worms. These have blood vessels, a developed nervous system, and a digestive system organized round a central tube.
