No, nematodes do not have segments. The lack of segmentation inspires their other name, roundworms. They look like smooth cylinders.

How long does worm tea last unrefridgerated?
Worm tea, which is a nutrient-rich liquid made from worm castings, can typically last about 24 to 48 hours unrefrigerated before its effectiveness diminishes. After this period, beneficial microorganisms may die off, reducing its quality. To maintain its potency, it’s best to use it soon after brewing or store it in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
How many legs does an Australian centipede have?
All centipedes have 100 legs, hence the name centipede (centi meaning 100).
Centipedes are carnivorous. Their diet varies a bit depending on the species. Generally, they prey on smaller insects such as small worms, moth larvae, small slugs, spiders... and even other centipedes. However, some larger species of centipedes have been known to prey on small invertebrates and certain species of centipedes will even eat plants if they cannot find other source of food.
Centipedes, like other arthropods, are the proud owners of exoskeletons. What this means is that to grow, they have to undergo a process known as molting. Molting is where the centipede will grow a new exoskeleton underneath the old one and when it is ready, shed (molt) the old exoskeleton. This is accomplished by a splitting of the cuticle (exoskeleton) on the sides of the dorsal plate on the head in front of the first segment (tergite) of the body (trunk) and then extracting itself through this opening in the old exoskeleton. One sign that your centipede is about to molt is a lack of appetite. Another is a sluggish or inactive centipede. There also may be changes in appearance such as a thick and waxy look to the sides of your centipede. You centipede may also seem to be growing a neck. What is meant by this is that the head will have a distended appearance from the trunk. You may see a gap between the head and the first tergite as well as between other tergites on the trunk. This is due to the forming exoskeleton stretching and displacing the old one. Centipedes in captivity will commonly turn around and eat their exuvia. This is most likely to regain some of the strength used in the molting process. This is important to you the keeper because a freshly molted centipede needs time for the exoskeleton to harden (sclerotise) before having prey introduced as it is vulnerable at this time. One sign of a freshly molted centipede is, of course, a noticeable increase in size. Another is a lighter colored centipede than you started with. The lighter color is due to the centipede having recently molted and will change back to the normal color as the exoskeleton sclerotises. If you believe that your centipede has molted, it is best to wait 5 to 10 days before introducing prey into the enclosure as to be sure that the centipede's exoskeleton has completely hardened. If you are able to retrieve your centipede's exuvia it will be compressed, much like an accordion, and you will have to stretch it out. If you are unlucky enough to purchase a centipede with it's fangs clipped, rest securely in the knowledge that they will regenerate with it's next molt.
A palolo worm is a polychaete worm, Latin name Palola viridis, from the waters of the Pacific Islands around Samoa.
Me no no.
All members of the chilopoda group of invertebrates have holes down the side of their abdomen. I believe they are called spiracles. Inside these holes branch out into a network of tubes that are the oxygen CO2 exchange sites.
If you pour coke on to pork does worms really come out of it?
Absolutely not. The carbonation from the soda and the protein from the pork coagulate. There many reasons why pork is not as clean as other meats but worms/maggots coming out of the meat is a ridiculous urban legend. Don't be fooled! Cooking at 170 degrees does the job fine.

You have to cut the worm in the middle of the body between the light and dark brown spots also known as the clitellum.

leeches feed on blood. they will attach themselves to a fish and use its pointed teeth to penetrate the flesh.
How does a centipede takes cares of its young?
A centipede will be able to take care of its self at 6 months.
Are segmented worms endangered?
no .there are still many. You can find them sometimes deep in the soil.
What job do worms do in nature?
They aerate the soil and allow oxygen to get to plant roots. This also allows rainwater to penetrate to where it's needed. Worms also drag leaf litter underground and pass it through their gut making an excellent plant food. They are also food for birds and moles etc.
How energy passes from the sun to an earthworm?
Energy passes from the sun to an earthworm the same way it does to most organisms: through the food it eats. Earthworms eat vegetation and the fungus that grows on vegetation and thus are getting the carbohydrates, proteins and fats stored by these organisms which originally came from the sun's energy being trapped by photosynthesis.
