Yes
Planarians are able to regenerate because they have a population of adult stem cells called neoblasts that can differentiate into any type of cell needed. These neoblasts are responsible for the continuous growth and renewal of tissues in planarians, allowing them to regenerate lost body parts.
No, adult planarians are not able to form detailed images of objects in their environment with their eyespots. Eyespots are light-sensitive organs that can detect light and shadows, but they do not have the ability to create detailed images like a true visual system. Planarians rely more on their chemosensory capabilities for navigating their environment.
Yes, planarians have well-defined tissues that make up different parts of their body, including muscle, nerve, reproductive, and digestive tissues. These tissues enable planarians to perform various physiological functions such as movement, digestion, and response to stimuli.
Planarians eat by extending their pharynx to ingest food, which then moves to the gastrovascular cavity for digestion. Once in the stomach, food particles are broken down by enzymes before nutrients are absorbed into the cells lining the cavity. Waste is then excreted through the pharynx.
Planarians have bilateral symmetry.
Yes, planarians are non-parasitic flatworms
Planarians are neither parasitic or segmented. They are flatworms.
The structures that enable planarians to expel liquid waste are normally pores. The pores are found on the dorsal surface of the planarians.
Planarians move by expanding and contracting their bodies as they grip a surface.
Planarians belong to the phylum Platyhelminthes.
Yes
Yes, all organisms have scientific names. Thus planarians have scientific names too.
Platyhelminthes.
yes they do
other worms
Well Planarians like to eat Chicken and Hotdogs! I am having to find some for extra credit for my biology class.Good luck
