Planaria, tapeworms and flukes are all classic examples of flatworms. Planaria live in the creeks, flukes live in the livers of sheep, and tapeworms live in the intestines of cows, dogs and even humans.
Nematodes have a pseudocoelom (a body cavity that is not completely lined by mesoderm), whereas flatworms have an acoelomate body plan (lack a body cavity). This means that nematodes have a body cavity, while flatworms do not have a true body cavity.
Flatworms can cause various diseases in humans, including schistosomiasis, cysticercosis, and fascioliasis. These diseases can result from the parasitic activity of different types of flatworms and can affect various organs and systems in the body, leading to a range of symptoms and health complications.
The cilia on the ventral surface of flatworms enable gliding movements by creating a smooth and coordinated motion along a surface. The cilia generate small waves of movement that allow the flatworm to glide efficiently.
Yes, flatworms, like all other multicellular organism are eukaryotic. Prokaryotes are cells that lack a nucleus and they are usually free living. It is true that prokaryotes lack a cell wall.
Planarians are free living and not parasitic. Other classes of their phylum, including flukes and tapeworms, are parasitic when they live inside another organism.
The scientific name for flatworms is Platyhelminthes.
Turbellaria , Trematoda and cestoda
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.
The phylum that contains the classes Trematoda, Cestoda, and Turbellaria is Platyhelminthes. These classes are all part of the same phylum due to their similar characteristics, such as being flatworms with bilateral symmetry and simple body structures.
all have no backbone
testicals.... that is all
