How does an earthworm circulate blood?
It depends on what type of worm, some have a circualtory system and some do not.
Why does the earthworm move away from light?
I think it probably has to do with drying out- they move away from light to retain their moisture. We all know the sun dries things and since they live underground, they would be more susceptible to drying out and dying than other organisms.
Is a earthworm a producer decomposer or a consumer?
Decomposer, it breaks down dead matter and turns it into soil.
What function does the circular muscle serve in the earthworm?
Circular muscles help in extension and narrowing of the body of the earthworm. When circular muscles contract the protractor muscles relax causing the retractor muscles to contract, thus withdrawing the setae.
How do earth worm protect themselves?
Different worms have different defence mechanisms. Some are toxic, whereas others have sharp spines (bristles) that stick into and cause pain in potential attackers.
What kind of symmetry does the earthworm have?
bilateral symmetry- body plan in which an animal that can be dinided into 2 equal sdes.
How does the setae help the earthworm adapt?
Well the setae is what allows earthworms to move thorugh the dirt and stuff :)
How do earthworms benefit us as humans?
As earthworms feed, they normally move through the soil and make small spaces. The spaces created by earthworms in the soil make aeration successful and thus enrich the soil with important nutrients.
Does a earthworm have a hard skeleton?
No, worms by definition do not have skeletons. Some have coelom, a cavity in the body that supports certain higher movement functions.
Is earthworm a producer or a consumer?
All animals are consumers - only plants and some protists are producers.
What is the function of the buccal cavity in the earthworm?
catches insects and and does respiration.
How does earthworm make the soil fertile?
The worms do make holes but it is to but oxygen in to decompose the soil and therefore making compost, they also drag leafs into the compost to eat and to make more soil well theirs your answer :).
What kind of digestive system do earthworms have simple or complex?
I am pretty sure they have simple but very complex digestive systems
How many eyes does an earthworm have?
Earthworms don't have eyes. They blindly crawl around in the dirt.
0.An earthworm does not have eyes.
Yes, earthworms are coelomates because they have the "tube within a tube" body plan that characterises coelomates. More specifically, coelomates have a body cavity that is completely lined with cells derrived from the mesoderm (the germ layer of tissue found between the endoderm and ectoderm in embryonic development).
What is the function of a pharynx on an earthworm?
A pharynx in a worm is basically an organ that a worm uses to eat. It is thread-like I believe, and a worm pushes it out of their mouth, gets the food, and eats it. So I guess, it could be comparable to a tongue in a human.
Are earthworms good for your lawn?
Define "worm". If you mean earthworms, which are in Phylum Annelida, then the answer is a resounding "yes!". Earthworms decompose organic matter by eating decaying plants, and their feces (called "castings" in polite earthworm circles) is one of the best fertilizers in the world.
Earthworms also improve the soil by their digging and tunneling. Their movement turns over the soil, mixing nutrients . Their tunnels help water soak in and air get in too.
Other kinds of worms are not so good. Certain nematodes, which are smooth and frequently microscopic, can damage the roots of plants. Farmers spend lots of money trying to control this type of worm.
