How do flatworms respond to their environment?
To adapt to marine life this flatworm uses diffusion to breathe and to distribute nutrients to other parts of the body. Diffusion is where elements move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. A hydrostatic skeleton makes it easy for flatworms to adapt to aquatic life.
What sensory organs do flatworms have?
They have a central nervous system containing a brain and a nerve cord. Clusters of light-sensitive cells on either side of their head make up what are called eyespots. The head region of the flatworm has other paired sense organs connected to the flatworm’s simple brain.
