Parasitic flatowms typically live in the digestive system. Surrounded by pre-digested nutrients, they can easily absorb basic nutrients that they need to maintain homeostasis. In other words, they are borrowing the host's digestive system.
What else can I help you with?
Why do you think parasitic flatworms do not have digestive system?
Parasitic flatowms typically live in the digestive system. Surrounded by pre-digested nutrients, they can easily absorb basic nutrients that they need to maintain homeostasis. In other words, they are borrowing the host's digestive system.
What characteristic is shared by cnidarians and flatworms?
a digestive system with a single opening
What is a digestive system with only one opening called?
A digestive system with only one opening is called an incomplete digestive tract. Organisms with this type of digestive system ingest food and eject waste through their mouth.
Does a planarian have a one way or two way digestive system?
Planarians are classified underneath the flatworm phyla, and flatworms have two way digestive systems.
Why dont most parasitic flatworms need a complex digestive system?
Parasitic flatowms typically live in the digestive system. Surrounded by pre-digested nutrients, they can easily absorb basic nutrients that they need to maintain homeostasis. In other words, they are borrowing the host's digestive system.
Flatworms are characterized by having....... A. a central nervous system B. radial symmetry C. tentacles for filter feeding D. a complete digestive system?
central nervous system.
How flatworms get energy?
Different types of flatworms eat different types of food such as bacteria or protozoans. They send digestive juices out of the opening in their digestive tract to partially digest the food, then they suck all of this up back into their gastrovascular cavity where it is fully digested and provides energy to the flatworm.
Which system interact with digestive system?
i think endocrine
What kind of digestive system does a hydra have?
i think a hydra has a incomplete digestive system called the-gastrovascular system
What muscular tube is found near the mouth of the digestive cavity in flatworms?
pharynx
Flatworms are soft flattened worms that have tissues and internal what?
Flatworms have tissues and internal organs. They belong to the phylum Platyhelminthes and are characterized by their bilateral symmetry and lack of a coelom (body cavity). Their internal structures include a digestive system, nervous system, and reproductive organs, allowing them to perform various physiological functions.
In what way is the annelid digestive tract different from the digestive systems of cnidarians and flatworms?
The annelid digestive tract is a complete system with a distinct mouth and anus, allowing for a one-way flow of food, which enhances digestion and nutrient absorption. In contrast, cnidarians, such as jellyfish and sea anemones, have a simple gastrovascular cavity that serves both digestive and circulatory functions, with only one opening. Flatworms also possess a gastrovascular cavity but lack specialized sections for digestion, making their system less efficient than that of annelids. This structural complexity in annelids allows for more advanced digestive processes.
