Protonephridia are primarily associated with the class Turbellaria, which includes free-living flatworms, rather than annelids. However, in the context of annelids, the class Oligochaeta (such as earthworms) and the class Hirudinea (leeches) have a different excretory system involving nephridia, which are more complex than protonephridia. In summary, protonephridia are not characteristic of annelids but rather of certain other invertebrate groups.
What else can I help you with?
What phylum are earthworm a part of?
Phylum Annelida -- Class Oligochaeta
What is annelid's class?
Annelids belong to the class Polychaeta, which includes marine worms that have bristle-like structures called setae along their body segments. Other classes of annelids include Clitellata, which includes earthworms and leeches.
Which of the three classes of annelids has suckers as an adaptation to it's way of life?
Leeches are the class of annelids that has suckers. They use these to suck the blood out of humans and animals in order for them to survive.
What are excretory structures called protonephridia are found in?
Protonephridia are found in flatworms, such as planarians. These structures are responsible for excreting waste and regulating osmotic balance in these organisms.
What type of body cavity do mollusks have?
Annelids exhibit bilateral symmetry.
The basic excretory unit in the protonephridia of flatworms is what?
flame cell
Do annelids have legs?
Yes, the queen ant in an ant colony lays eggs.
Do Platyhelminths possess protonephridia?
Yes, Platyhelminths, commonly known as flatworms, possess protonephridia. These are simple excretory structures that function in osmoregulation and waste removal. Protonephridia consist of flame cells that create a current to help expel waste products and excess water from the body. This system is crucial for maintaining the internal environment of these organisms, especially in freshwater habitats.

What annelids do polychaetes include?
earthworms, polychaete worms, and leeches.
