Parasitic flatworms have to have a host. A free-living one doesn't.

Why don't roundworms flatworms and annelid worms belong in the same group of invertebrates?
they all have different shaped bodies and different characteristics
Balestra. It is not really a jump in place, for the body should cover some forward distance, even more than the lunge that follows. When the balestra is executed correctly, the body does not hop up in the air(wasted movement) but springs forward in a way that looks like a regular lunge to the opponent. But instead of the trailing leg staying back, it is immediately brought up together with the lead foot. If the opponent has evaded this first attack, he might not be ready for the lunge that immediately follows.
Do flatworms live in fresh or salty water?
They live in flat water. nah just jokes i dont know. i think salty
What are ganglia and what do they do in flatworms?
Ganglia are nerve clusters. I don't know if flatworms have them or not; if they do, they probably function more or less like a rudimentary brain.
What are characteristics of flukes?
1)Bilaterally symmetrical.
2)Body having 3 layers of tissues with organs and organelles.
3)Body contains no internal cavity.
4)Possesses a blind gut (i.e. it has a mouth but no anus)
5)Has Protonephridial excretory organs instead of an anus.
6)Has normally a nervous system of longitudinal fibres rather than a net.
7)Generally dorsoventrally flattened.
8)Reproduction mostly sexual as hermaphrodites.
9)Mostly they feed on animals and other smaller life forms.
10)Some species occur in all major habitats, including many as parasites of other animals.
Is asexual reproduction advantageous to a free living flatworm?
Yes, asexual reproduction is advantageous to free-living flatworms as it allows for rapid population growth in stable environments without the need for a mate. This method, often through fragmentation or regeneration, enables flatworms to quickly exploit available resources and adapt to favorable conditions. Additionally, asexual reproduction ensures the survival of successful genetic traits within a population, which can be beneficial in consistent habitats. However, it may limit genetic diversity compared to sexual reproduction.
