What is the difference between nematodes and annelids?
Nematodes are "roundworms". Pseudocoelomates, meaning the pseudocoemomate lies between the digestive track and the muscle layer. There is no muscle layes surrounding the digestive track, as it would be for coelomates, like annelids (earthworms) Platyhelminthes are "flatworms". They are acoelomates, meaning they lack body cavity between the digestive track and the body covering. There is only a tissue filled region, but no true coelom.

What is the difference between tissues organs organs system?
Anatomy starts at the cellular level. (I'm going to use the digestive track for this example) First there are cells. Cells make up tissues (such as the tissue that lines the inside of your stomach). An accumulation of different tissues then makes an organ (ie. your stomach). An organ system would be a group of organs that work together, in this example it would be the digestive track: esophagus ...stomach...small intestine...colon..etc. And then finally, a group of organ systems makes up an organism, which would be you or me, a human!
Why do herbivores animals have longer small intestine from carnivores animals?
They DON'T! Carnivores have a shorter intestinal tract because they process the protein quickly and eliminate it. Herbivores have the longest intestinal track (some have multiple stomachs) do to the complexity involved in digesting cellulose, fiber, grains and plants. It takes longer for these to break down and for nutrients to absorb. Humans digestive tract is much shorter then an herbivore- we are made to digest protein (hence why we don't produce all the essential amino acids), fats, simple plants (vegetables and fruits).
