Usually not. They're either predators, scavengers or algae-eaters. Most of them are scavengers. The only omnivorous marine worm I could find anything on is the Bobbit worm, which is a truly nasty piece of work: they average ten feet long (I've seen reports of 50-foot Bobbit worms), can take off a human finger and eat fish up to four inches long. It's called the Bobbit worm because after it mates, the female bites off the male's penis and feeds it to her offspring.
Why does a worm poses a greater threat than a virus poses?
Because worms are more network-based than viruses
What does the esophagus do in a worm?
The same place it leads to in every other animal, the stomach/intestines.
as the esophagus is the tube that conducts food it would always be the passage between the mouth and the digestive system.
no, they ingest microbes from the soil, so they do not produce their own food, and are not producers.
How do worms use their body parts to move?
Well that question is simple I mean right now we are learning about this in Biology =] Here's your answer: They have setae: tiny bristle like things on each pf their segments which help anchor themselves, and move around.
How do you take care of an inchworm?
If you want to take care of a inchworm follow these steps:
- Inchworms are usually found in spring feasting on the leaves of some trees. Inchworms are green or greenish-yellow and very small, about an inch long.
- Get the home for the inchworm ready. If you are going to use a cup get some tin foil. Punch a few air holes in it with the tip of a pencil. Put a little stick and some leaves off the tree they were found on into the cup. This is so they can go through metamorphosis and eat.
- Put the inchworms in the cup.
- Cover the cup with the tin foil with the air holes.
- If it is okay then leave the cup inside. If it is not okay, then leave the cup outside but under a sheltered area like under a jetting out part of your house.
- Eventually they will turn into moths and then you must let them go.
- Every once in a while check on your inchworms. Give them new leaves if they run out. If they are going through metamorphosis soon they will be slow so don't bother them
Get a plastic or glass jar. Know that a glass jar will allow better viewing ability for you. Poke a few holes in the lid so that the inchworms can have air, but not large enough so that they can escape.
Step 2Gather some natural materials to place in the jar. Inchworms will enjoy having sticks on which they can climb. In addition, place a few different types of leaves for them to eat. Leaves from the plant on which you found the inchworms would be the best choice.
Step 3Place the jar in a place where you can watch the inchworms. However, don't let children handle the jar, unless they are old enough to know how to handle it carefully to avoid damage to the inchworms.
Step 4Use a magnifying glass to see the details of the inchworm's bodies and activities up close. This will work best if you have chosen a glass jar for the inchworm's home.
Step 5Wait for the inchworms to emerge from their chrysalis once they have enveloped themselves in them. This may take some time, so remind children to be patient.
Step 6Release the moths outside once they emerge from the chrysalis. This is very important, because if you leave the moths in the jar, they can damage themselves by flying up against the sides of the jar when trying to get out.
They reproduce sexually and asexually. When a round worm is hermaphroditic, it fertilizes itself (in most cases). Some hermaphroditic round worms reproduce by exchanging sperm. When a round worm has a specific gender (male or female) it reproduces sexually.
It can really effect your computer. I got a worm virus on my Dell and it wiped my Windows Vista out and my computer won't start up. It attacks the hard drive. Every time you start your PC a "Seek Failure Diskette 0" pops up. So get rid of them if you get a warning for one.

What might happen to an earthworm if the conditions of its habitat changed would be depend on what the changes were. If things became very wet, the worm would crawl to the surface. If things became very dry, the worm would try to escape but might die first.

Yes, any type of worm found in a dog can transfer from the carrier to any other animal, dog, cat, human. If a dog has worms, get de-worming medicine from a vet for all dogs in your home, and minimize contact with the dog (wash hands after petting, NO kisses). Don't neglect the dog, but be safe.

What is the function of coelom in an earthworm?
The coelom in an earthworm serves several functions, including providing a space for organs to be suspended and protected, allowing for greater flexibility and movement, and serving as a hydrostatic skeleton to support the body and aid in burrowing. It also enables the earthworm to efficiently transport nutrients, gases, and waste throughout its body.
