Answer:

The answer is False. Although sensitive cells are <u>more abundant</u> in the <u>anterior portion</u> of the annelid´s body, in general, they are arranged in all the segments.

Explanation:

Annelids, such as the earthworm, have a variety of sensory cells:    

  • <u>Mechanoreceptors</u>, disposed of in groups in <em><u>each segment</u></em> of their body.  
  • <u>Photoreceptors</u>: Light-sensitive cells. Although they are <em><u>located in the whole </u></em>body, they are <em><u>abundant in anterior and posterior segments</u></em>, concentrated in the intern and dorsal part of the epidermis.
  • <u>Humidity receptors</u> are the most sensitive cells and are <u>located in the first segments</u> of the earthworm body
  • <u>Chemoreceptors</u>: sensorial cells cumulus forming a prominent tubercle with prolongations that extends through the cuticle. These tubercles form three rings <em><u>in each segment</u></em> but are especially <em><u>abundant in the anterior part</u></em> of the body.

The tegument is very rich in free nervous terminations, which functions might be tactile.

Vika [28.1K]
PCB (Poly-Chlorinated Biphenyls) are the major contaminants of groundwater that must be removed before circulating water among people. PCBs can also enter the food chain by contaminating aquatic organisms. Working on PCBs and removing it from water is a challenging process. Various processes are involved in removal of these contaminants from the groundwater. Among these one is the use of microorganisms. Microbial process is a potent bioremediating method.

DEGRADATION OF PCBs through microorganisms is an effective process as PCBs are susceptible to degradation. PCBs are transformed into smaller parts by microorganisms that make them more soluble and easily degradable.
