What cell removes excess what from flatworms?
Answer: flame cells Flatworms eliminate excess water through a network of excretory tubules that are connected to flame cells. Flame cells collect excess water, which is then transported though the tubules and excreted from numerous pores scattered over the body surface. (pg 710 of Modern Biology Textbook)

Many flatworms can detect changes in the amount of light in their environment using groups of cells called?
Many flatworms can detect changes in the amount of light in their environment using groups of cells called photoreceptors. These cells are sensitive to light and help the flatworms navigate and respond to their surroundings based on light levels.
What do flat worms rely on for respiration and excretion?
Flatworms rely on diffusion for respiration, where gases are exchanged directly through their body surface. Excretion in flatworms primarily occurs through specialized cells called flame cells, which filter waste and excess water from their bodies.
The basic excretory unit in the protonephridia of flatworms is what?
flame cell
Difference between solenocytes and flame cells?
Solenocytes are excretory cells found in the protonephridia of some invertebrates, while flame cells are specialized excretory cells found in the excretory system of flatworms. Solenocytes have cilia that create a flow of fluid, whereas flame cells have a tuft of cilia that beat to create the flow of fluid. Both types of cells are involved in excretion and osmoregulation in their respective organisms.
Is flatworms eukaryotic cells?
yes.
Specialized cells with beating tufts of cilia that draw water through pores to the outside of the worm's body?
Flame cells are in planarians. They are specialized cells with beating tufts of cilia that draw water through pores to the outside of the worm's body.
What three types of cells must be present for flatworms to be able to respond to stimuli and move about?
Flatworms require muscle cells for movement, nerve cells for detecting stimuli, and epithelial cells for sensory integration and coordination of responses. These three cell types work together to allow flatworms to respond to their environment and move about.
Do flatworms have many cells?
No, flatworms are multicellular organisms with a simple body plan, but they do not have many cells compared to more complex organisms. They typically have around a few thousand to a few million cells.
Why protonephridia termed as flame cell?
Protonephridia are termed "flame cells" due to their distinctive structure, which features a tuft of cilia that resembles a flickering flame when in motion. These cilia beat to create a current, helping to filter and expel waste fluids from the organism's body. This arrangement is commonly found in certain invertebrates, such as flatworms, where it serves as a simple excretory system. The name reflects both the appearance and the function of these cells in the excretory process.
