Yes, flatworms belong to the phylum Platyhelminthes and do possess a mesoderm. They are acoelomate organisms, meaning they lack a true body cavity, but they have three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. The mesoderm in flatworms contributes to the formation of muscles and other internal structures.

How does the number of body cavities of nematodes compare with that of flatworms?

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 have layers of tissue that surround the gut and organs in one solid body they are?

Flatworms are triploblastic organisms, meaning they have three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm) that give rise to different tissues in their body. This allows them to have specialized structures like muscles and nerves. They have a solid body shape, lacking a body cavity or coelom.


Do flatworms have tissue or systems?

Flatworms are considered to have a simple level of tissue organization, possessing three primary germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. They have a relatively simple body structure without specialized systems like those found in more complex animals. Instead of a circulatory or respiratory system, flatworms rely on diffusion for the transport of nutrients and gases. Additionally, they have a basic nervous system and muscular tissues, allowing for movement and response to their environment.

Compare and contrast the body of a flatworm to the body plan of a roundworm?

Flatworms are considered acoelomate, since they have no body cavity, and roundworms are pseudocoelomate because they have a body cavity, but it is not derived from the splitting of the mesoderm tissue. Also, flatworms only have one opening in their digestive system unlike roundworms with two.
