yes
Flatworms can have segmentation. :)
Flatworms aren't round but are flat and soft as a jelly.
they are flat
a flat butt
There is a special reason that flatworms are flat. Because of their flatness the area of their 'body' is bigger (so a bigger surface area). Through this characteristic, they are able to diffuse more in and out of their endosystem.
Flatowrms have muscle cells, they are a triploblastic phylum. They have endo, meso and ectoderm layersSponges are Parazoa and lack any true tissue at allCnidaria are diploblastic, having only endoderm and ectoderm
While both flatworms and roundworms are soft-skinned invertebrates, their biology differs greatly enough to put them into to distinct categories. Flatworms belong to the phylum Platyhelminthes, while roundworms belong to Nematode.Flatworms have flat, ribbon shaped bodies, while roundworms are round (but not segmented) and taper towards the end. Both are bilaterally symmetrical. Roundworms are sexed, with two different genders, while flatworms may either be sexed, hermaphroditic, or use asexual reproduction.
It means flatworms "platy" means flat "helminthes" means worms
Flatworms and Roundworms have bilateral symmetry as a body type.
(it would be false to say that all flatworms are parasitic--the idiot that wrote that wasn't so smart, so I had to change that-- because the PLANARIAN-for example, is flatworm and that is a harmless little critter) ~round worms are ROUND ~flat worms are FLAT ~Round worms have 2 body openings (mouth & anus) *random fact: 1/2 of all roundworms are PARASITIC, and 50 species affect humans**
earthworms have clitellum and roundworms dont. earthworms are from the member of phlyum annelidia and roundworms are from the member of the phylum nematoda. Earthworm's have 5 aortic arches(hearts) which roundworms do not ! :)
Flatworms are carnivores, herbivores and scavengers.
