Flatworms

No, flatworms typically reproduce through external fertilization. The male releases sperm into the water, which then fertilizes the eggs released by the female.

yes because they are an odd animal!

The process is called regeneration.

No, a flatworm and an amoeba are different organisms. Flatworms are multicellular animals belonging to the phylum Platyhelminthes, while amoebas are single-celled protists that move and feed by extending pseudopods.

an adaptation. Adaptations can include physical features like camouflage or behaviors like migration that improve an organism's chances of survival and reproduction in its specific environment.

Flatworms do not have a circulatory system because they are thin enough for nutrients and gases to diffuse directly through their bodies. They also lack a respiratory system as they absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide through their skin.

The outermost layer of a flatworm is composed of a syncytial epidermis. This layer is made up of a single layer of cells fused together, providing protection and facilitating nutrient exchange.

Answer: flame cells

Flatworms eliminate excess water through a network of excretory tubules that are connected to flame cells. Flame cells collect excess water, which is then transported though the tubules and excreted from numerous pores scattered over the body surface. (pg 710 of Modern Biology Textbook)

It is asexual reproduction when a non-parasitic flatworm (planaria) loses its tail and thereby spawns a new planarian. This regeneration can occur with any lost body parts using its adult stem cells. A bisected worm will grow into two "individuals" (although they will be genetically identical, like clones). Planaria are hermaphroditic and normally reproduce sexually. A planarian's eggs can be fertilized by its own sperm or by the sperm of another planarian.

In free-living flatworms, asexual reproduction typically involves fission, where the organism splits into two separate individuals. This process begins with the organism elongating and then splitting down the middle to form two new organisms. Each new organism then regenerates any missing or damaged tissues to become independent.

Some flatworms can be harmful to humans as they can cause diseases like schistosomiasis. However, not all flatworms are harmful, and some are actually beneficial by controlling pest populations in the environment.

No, planaria are a type of flatworm and are not considered a bacteria. But, planaria are good for the ecosystem- so maybe it would be like a good type of bacteria that contributes to the functioning of the human body as it the planaria would fo the Earth. You sould really look up planaria, there are pictures and more.

Animals of the phylum Platyhelminthes are known as flatworms because their bodies are dorsoventrally flattened, giving them a thin and flat appearance. This flat body shape allows for efficient gas exchange and nutrient absorption through their body surface.

An example of a free-living flatworm is Planaria. These flatworms are found in freshwater environments and are known for their ability to regenerate lost body parts. They feed on small organisms like algae and microorganisms.

In free-living flatworms, asexual reproduction typically occurs through fragmentation. The worm breaks apart into pieces, with each fragment regenerating into a new individual. This process allows the flatworm to rapidly increase its population size in favorable conditions.

Many flatworms can detect changes in the amount of light in their environment using groups of cells called photoreceptors. These cells are sensitive to light and help the flatworms navigate and respond to their surroundings based on light levels.

Yes; although most of them are bisexual, very few of them, like Schistosoma, are dioic, having separate masculine and feminine organisms.

Red-rim flatworms can be found in tropical and subtropical coastal waters, typically in shallow coral reef environments. They are often spotted in areas with abundant marine life, such as on coral reefs and rocky substrates.

The nervous system allows a free-living flatworm to respond to stimuli in its environment. The eyespots in the nervous system can detect the presence or absence of light and the sensory cell can detect chemicals and movement in water. These adaptions are necessary to the primary environments of flatworms.

A flatworm uses its muscular adhesive organs, called the pharynx, to catch and prey on its food. The pharynx helps the flatworm attach to its prey and consume it.

Free-living flatworms are flatworms that live independently in their environment, rather than parasitizing another organism. They are typically found in freshwater or marine habitats and feed on microorganisms, small invertebrates, and organic matter. Examples include planarians and marine flatworms.

Fluke

The flatworm's scientific name (or at least its Phylum) is Platyhelminthes. I can't give you the real scientific name (which is the genus and species) because there are more than one species of flatworm.

Some flatworms have clusters of nerve cells called ganglia that control their nervous system. Ganglia are distributed throughout the body and help coordinate the flatworm's movements and responses to stimuli.

The marine flatworm belongs to the Phylum Platyhelminthes.
