Sea planaria are soft, flat worms that live at the bottom of the world's oceans. These carnivorous worms eat live and dead animals and can range in size from 1/8 to 24-inches long.
No, planaria do not do photosynthesis. They are free-living flatworms that are primarily carnivorous, feeding on small organisms in their environment. They rely on external sources of food for their energy needs.
Planaria are eaten by various predators in their natural habitat, including other invertebrates such as beetles, nematodes, and predatory flatworms. Some small fish, amphibians, and certain species of birds also consume planaria. Additionally, planaria serve as hosts to parasitic organisms that feed on them.

The organs of excretion in flatworms are contractile vacuoles. Flatworms are invertebrates that do not have any specialized excretion organs.
Binary fission is the process in which one can divide as a form of reproduction. Planeria are known for their binary fission which involves regenerating their bodies from parts that had been cut off. They are known to become two separate planeria after being severed in half, under the right conditions, and can even become double-headed if cut correctly.
The planaria class is Turbellaria
planeriacomes under kingdom animalea
sp refers to a planaria where the actual species is undetermined...or sometimes because several species of planaria have similar appearance or behavior and have been used in a study.
Usually a planaria regeneration experiment involves cutting the planaria into different parts. The head can be separated from the tail or the planaria can be cut lengthwise, etc. After cutting the planaria, it will be observed for few days noting how the organism regenerate its lost body parts.

Planaria prefer dark environments
NaCl, also known as salt, can affect planaria by disrupting their osmoregulation. Planaria have a delicate balance of salt concentrations in their cells to maintain proper water and ion balance. Excess salt can cause dehydration, while insufficient salt can lead to swelling and bursting of cells in planaria.
The planaria scientific name is called Planariidae. It is not a species so the binomial name could not be determined. Planaria are non-parasitic flatworms.

Planaria images can be found in most high school or "first" biology/zoologycollege, text books.
Planaria falls under the kingdom of animalia. so some would be heterotrophic, multicellular, and eukaryotic.
