Nematodes absorb nutrients primarily through their pharynx, which acts like a pump to ingest food. Once ingested, food is broken down in the intestine, where nutrients are absorbed directly into their body through the intestinal wall. Some nematodes also have specialized cells that facilitate nutrient uptake. This process allows them to efficiently utilize organic matter or host tissues, depending on their ecological role.

What is the organ that has villi to absorb the nutrients?
The small intestine has villi to absorb nutrients. Villi are small projections that increase the possible surface area for absorption.
Can humans absorb nutrients from the air?
No, humans cannot absorb nutrients from the air. Nutrients are primarily obtained through the food and beverages we consume, which are broken down in the digestive system for absorption into the body.
Do Plants Absorb Nutrients Through their Leaves?
Yes, plants can absorb nutrients through their leaves, but this is not their primary mode of nutrient intake. Most plants primarily absorb nutrients from the soil through their roots. However, foliar feeding, or the application of nutrients directly to the leaves, can be used to provide supplemental nutrition to plants.
How do stems absorb water and nutrients?

How is platihelims different from nematodes?
One way platyhelminthes differs from nematodes is that they do not have an actual digestive system. Instead they take in the oxygen and nutrients they need through their flat bodies.
How do Nematodes impact humans?
nematodes are worms and they are extremely important to humans because they are major decomposers which is important to break down dead organisms and material to put the nutrients back into the ground.
What are 2 jobs of roots?
absorb water and absorb nutrients
What is a hyphal trap?
A hyphal trap is a specialized structure formed by certain fungi to capture and digest small organisms like nematodes. It consists of modified hyphae (thread-like filaments) that are used to entangle and immobilize the prey, allowing the fungus to absorb nutrients from it. This is a unique mechanism used by some fungi to obtain additional nutrients.
What organ doesn't absorb nutrients?
The mouth is one of the organs of the digestive tract that doesn't absorb nutrients. Another is the esophagus.
What does the colon absorb?
The colon absorbs nutrients, and sometimes contaminants of nutrients.
How do plants absorb nutrients?
