Olenka [21]3 years ago
4 0

Three of the major characteristics used to classify organisms are cell structure, mode of nutrition and cellularity. These characteristics help scientists determine how organisms are similar to each other as well as how they are different from each other.

Classifying an organism according to its cell structure means determining if it is a prokaryote or eukaryote and then determining if the organism has a cell wall or other organelles, according to Dave Krupp of the University of Hawaii .

Mode of nutrition refers to how an organism gets its food. Organisms can be classified as autotrophs or heterotrophs. Autotrophs make their own food, while heterotrophs must eat other organisms to survive. If an organism is an autotroph, it can also be classified as a photoautotroph or a chemoautotroph. Stephen T. Abedon of Ohio State explains that photoautotrophs produce their own food using energy from sunlight. Chemoautotrophs produce food using the energy from electron-donating compounds.

Cellularity refers to how many cells an organism has and how those cells are arranged. Some organisms are single-celled, while others are multicellular. Advanced organisms have cells organized into tissues.

Cephalization, the clustering of neurons and interneurons in the anterior part of the animal, is apparent in I) mammals II) cnid
zzz [600]

Option (III) .Cephalization, the clustering of neurons and interneurons in the anterior part of the animal, is apparent in <u>Planaria.</u>

What is planaria?

  • Planaria is a genus of planarians in the family Planariidae.
  • When an individual is cut into pieces, each piece has the ability to regenerate into a fully formed individual.
  • Currently the genus Planaria is defined as freshwater triclads with oviducts that unite to form a common oviduct without embracing the bursa copulatrix and with an adenodactyl present in the male atrium.
  • The testes occur along the whole body.
  • Planaria originally have habitats in dark, murky water which results in such sensitivity .
  • They are also sensitive to other stimuli such as chemical gradients, vibration, magnetic and electric fields .
  • Their central nervous system includes the anterior (head, brain and eyes) and middle (abdominal trunk and pharynx).

It could be a yes or no... to me because you try something you did try an put your work in to it when it was hard work.... I agree because you always try when you do something... if it can't be proven at least you tried on it
