2. Comparing and contrasting the morphological, behavioral, and physiological traits of the nematodes and flatworms you observed in lab, which organism would be better suited to life in a terrestrial environment with respect to meeting life needs? Identify the organism’s 2 characteristics that make it suitable with justification AND 2 characteristics of the alternate organism that make it not suitable with justification. (4 points)

Flatworms will be best suited to terrestrial environment.

Explanation:

A 2 reasons flatworms live on land

The flatworms develop muscle tissues due to the mesoderm layer can easily move on the land hence suited for terrestrial life.

Flatworms do not have the digestive system they rely on food digested by the host.

They have sensory cells in their nervous system which help them recognize food.

B. 2 reasons why nematode don't live much on land

The roundworms or nematodes are the heterotrophs and often co-habitat as a parasite.

Nematodes feed on bacteria, fungi and protozoans from the soil or freshwater.

They require large internal pressure to move as no cilia or flagella are found in them.
