Centipedes

Myriapods prefer moist environments, with some species living in soil, leaf litter, or decaying wood. They are mainly found in dark and humid habitats such as forests, caves, and damp areas in gardens. Myriapods are sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity, requiring specific conditions to thrive.

Leeches attracted to warmth are likely to parasitize warm-blooded hosts, such as mammals. The adaptive advantage of this attraction is that warm-blooded hosts provide a stable environment with a constant temperature that helps leeches maintain their metabolic activities and ensures a steady food supply.

Earthworms are the type of segmented worms that live in the soil. They play a crucial role in aerating and enriching the soil, making it more fertile for plant growth.

The mouth of an earthworm is located on the anterior end, closer to the clitellum, and is typically smaller and more round in shape. The anus is located on the posterior end and is larger and more oval in shape. You can also observe the direction of the crop bands, which point towards the mouth and away from the anus.

You can find out if an earthworm eats soil by observing it in a controlled environment, such as a terrarium, with soil and other food sources. If you see the earthworm consuming soil by ingesting it and passing it through its digestive system, then it is likely consuming the soil. Additionally, the presence of soil particles or organic matter in the earthworm's waste (castings) can indicate that it is eating soil.

Earthworms require oxygen to breathe, and when soil is saturated with water, there is not enough air present for the earthworms to survive. The excess water limits the movement of air in the soil, causing oxygen levels to drop and suffocating the earthworms.

It sounds like you may have encountered drain fly larvae. These larvae are small, black-headed worms commonly found in stagnant water sources like bathtubs and pools. They feed on organic matter such as bacteria and algae found in drains and pipes.

Yes! My sister (who is an entomologist) had a rather jovial infestation. When she would kill the centipedes, they would cry, "noooooonottmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Sea snails typically feed on algae, plankton, and decaying organic matter. Some species may also consume small fish or invertebrates. They use their radula, a feeding organ with rows of tiny teeth, to scrape and consume food particles.

No. Segmented worms are "annelids", like earthworms. Centipedes belong to the class chilopoda, along with other centipedes. They are also part of the phylum arthropoda, which is an entirely separate phylum from segmented worms.

The answer is their salvary gland earth worms produce their body mucus because their salvary glands is produced that way.

Plants are living organisms that obtain energy through photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by providing oxygen, food, and habitats for other organisms. They do not consume dead plants or animals for nutrition, as they have specialized mechanisms for obtaining nutrients from the soil and atmosphere.

The tissue derived from mesoderm that lines the coelom of annelids and forms walls is called mesothelium.

The noncompressible water fluid filling the coelom of a worm that maintains its tubular shape and provides structural support is known as coelomic fluid. This fluid helps in maintaining the structural integrity of the worm's body and serves as a medium for carrying out various physiological functions.

No one answer, since it depends on which worm.

The Theory of a "worm hole" is a passage that leads people to the future other parts in space etc. This is just science fiction "worm holes" do not exist and if they did theyd be pretty short because its just from 1 place to another. imagine walking into your room and ending up in china that's what a wormhole would be like. SO Your question"How long is a worm hole in space?" has just been answered by a 13 year old boy :)

well worms feed of plants and dead bodies or carcases so they eat the last animal in the food chain and when they go to the toilet the plants can use this as nutrition making them decomposers. but they eat plants making them consumers as well so this makes them both consumers and decomposers making it hard to place them in an ecosystem or ecoweb

Both an earthworm gizzard and teeth in other animals are structures used for breaking down food, but they do so in different ways. The earthworm gizzard is a muscular organ that grinds up food with the help of small rocks, while teeth in other animals cut, tear, and grind food using hard structures made of enamel. Additionally, teeth are present in a wide variety of animals, while the gizzard is a specialized structure found only in earthworms.

The first segment on an earthworm is called the prostomium. It is a fleshy lobe that covers the mouth and helps the earthworm sense its environment.

Segmented worms, also known as annelids, have sensory organs called setae. These are bristle-like structures that help the worms sense their environment, move, and anchor themselves. Annelids also have chemoreceptors on their bodies to detect chemicals in their surroundings.

Yes, tapeworms are segmented parasites that consist of multiple proglottids which contain reproductive organs. Each segment is capable of releasing eggs into the host's intestine.

The Ascaris worm matures in the intestine of its host

Segmented worms, such as earthworms, breathe through their skin using a process called cutaneous respiration. They rely on the thin, moist skin to absorb oxygen directly from their environment and release carbon dioxide. This allows them to exchange gases with the surrounding air or water.

Yes, Annelida is a phylum that includes segmented worms known as annelids. These worms have bodies divided into multiple repeated segments, which give them their characteristic appearance. Examples of annelids include earthworms and leeches.
