Q

What benefits do earthworms give the plants in the soil that they inhabit?

A

Earthworms bring minerals up from the lower parts of the soil and mix them with the nutrients at the top of the soil, which makes the soil fertile for plants. Their tunnels also allow oxygen to travel to the roots of a plant more easily.

Q

If you pick up two earthworms and the first feels very slimy near the clitellum and the second does not, what can you conclude about the first earthworm?

Q

What similarities exist between the hydra’s sexual reproduction and the earthworm’s? What differences exist?

Q

What will happen to an earthworm if its cuticle gets dry?

A

17
Q

Why don’t planarians need circulatory systems?

A

Planarians do not need circulatory systems because the intestine is so highly-branched that all cells are near it, so they can get their food directly from the intestine.

18
Q

If a flatworm has no complex nervous or digestive systems, is it most likely free-living or parasitic?

A

Parasitic

19
Q

What is the main mode of asexual reproduction in a planarian?
