How did the earthworm's mode of location compare to the nematode's mode of location?

Answer: The earthworm contracts and extends in its movement, but the nematode moves side by side.

Explanation:

NOTE: By mode of location, we mean the way it moves.

The skin of a nematode is very unusual in that it secretes a thick outer cuticle which is both hard and flexible. And this cuticle makes it sustain a side by side mode of location. The closest thing a roundworm has to a skeleton is its cuticle and it uses it as a support and balance point for movement. Long muscles lie just underneath the epidermis and are all aligned longitudinally along the inside of the body, so the nematode can only bend its body from side to side, not contract or extend itself.

Whereas the earthworm extends and contracts as its mode of location.

An earthworm moves by using its two different sets of muscles: circular muscles for looping around each segment, and the longitudinal muscles for running along the length of the body.

The contraction of the circular muscles make the earthworm stretch becoming longer and thinner. The earthworm uses its longitudinal muscles to contract and thus becomes shorter and wider or it bends from one side to the other, pulling the body forward in the process. The earthworm withdraws the front setae and uses its rear setae to anchor itself at the back. Then the earthworm uses its circular muscles to lengthen and push itself forward again.

Write an essay of 200 words comparing the ways in which command economies and market economies affect a worker's life.
aleksandrvk [35]

Characteristically, Command Economies are bad when it comes to a person interested in making a profit; this is because they typically center on economic equality and do not have economic efficiency. Speaking in general, in a command economy, the allocation of resources is done by a Central Planning Committee, and this system usually leads to quite a number of shortages and/or surpluses in products since the demand/supply can be impulsive.<span> On the other hand, Market Economies are centered on profit-making and Economic Efficiency.</span>

<span>
</span>

Essentially, how well resources are distributed among the public will determine how well people will be rewarded. Let’s take for instance, a parking lot like downtown; characteristically, a market economy will likely focus on how to place as many cars as possible in the lot and how to use the space to its full capacity, while a Command will most likely try to apportion the space so that (just for example) 3 small, 3 medium and 3 large vehicles are parked (economic equality).

<span>
<span>Finally, with a market economy, there is likely to to be less shortages and less surpluses, since it works with the Law of Supply and Demand in which an equilibrium price will be automatically established through buying and selling.</span></span>
