The type of body symmetry in which only one plane divides the body into mirror images is?
This is called bilateral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry means an organism has symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side. This is seen in all vertebrates, and many invertebrates such as arthropods.
What body parts match up as mirror images when they are folded over?
Bi-lateral symmetry is the fancy name given to this. Centipedes do it better than we, for they have more legs to match up.
Why is an image laterally inverted in a plane mirror?
I believe that this is a strong and compelling psychological illusion. It appears so because you, a laterally symmetrical object, are looking into the mirror. The mirror is reflecting your symmetry, and in the way that plane mirrors do it. What's more, gravity orients you in a certain way, as it does most laterally symmetrical things. The illusion is about symmetry and gravity.Make Some ObservationsTake a full photograph of anyone, standing up and head to foot, and hold it in front of you so you can see its reflection while you look into a mirror. Turn the photograph 90 degrees with the photo image's head at your left hand. It will appear relative to the photo and its reflection that its 'lateral inversion' is in what you call up-down, but when you look up at your face you will swear that there is no 'inversion' along that dimension. The mirror can't be selectively and simultaneously 'inverting' one image and not the other, and switching its 'inversion' depending on your gaze. Regarding mirror images, maybe 'plane mirror image' is a better term than 'inverted'. Look again at the sideways photo reflection. You know that the head of the person in the real photograph is pointing toward your real left hand. But which hand is nearest the head in the mirror image? The right hand of your mirror image. So right-left is nothing but a property of your clearly symmetrical body, and up-down are clearly ideas of orientation, or symmetry, with regard to gravity. And the mirror is just hanging there, giving you an ordinary plane mirror image of what is before it. So whatever the plane mirror is doing, it is doing the same thing along any linear axis you can think of.
Is it true that frictional force on a sliding body on a plane is always directed at the angle of friction to the normal?
The frictional force on a sliding body on a plane will be acting parallel to the plane against the motion of the body. But the magnitude of the (kinetic) friction force is proportional to the weight component normal to the plane. The weight component parallel to the plane is the force that tends to slide the body down the inclined plane. When the sliding body has acquire steady velocity, the friction force is equal to the body's sliding force.

Which plane divides the body into right and left parts?
From a vertical point of view, the plane that divides the body into left and right portions is the lateral plane or sagittal plane. Dividing the body into planes makes studying anatomy less confusing as body parts can be more easily identified.
What kind of symmetry is shown in an animal body whose body can be divided in one plane to show mirror images?
bilateral symmetry
Plane that divides the body into left and right halves?
The sagittal plane divides the body into right and left halves.
Does the frontal plane divides the body into a dorsal and a ventral section.?
The frontal plane divides the body into a dorsal and a ventral section.
What body plane divides the body into identical left and right parts?
The midsagittal plane divides the body into identical left and right arts.
What kind of symmetry is shown in an animal who's body can be divided in one plane to show mirror images?
bilateral symmetry
What kind of symmetry is shown in animals whose body can only be divided in one plane to show mirror images?
"bilateral"
What plane divides the body into inferior and superior plane?
Transverse plane.
What body plane divides the body into interior and posterior planes?
coronial plane
Plane divides the body into upper and lower portions?
Transverse plane divides the body into a superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portion.
What plane divides the body at the level of naval?
Transverse plane
