Vedclass · Answer

(A-D) The differences between Phylum $Platyhelminthes$ and Phylum $Aschelminthes$ are as follows:$1$. Body Shape: $Platyhelminthes$ are dorso-ventrally flattened (flatworms),whereas $Aschelminthes$ are circular in cross-section (roundworms).$2$. Coelom: $Platyhelminthes$ are acoelomate (lack a body cavity),while $Aschelminthes$ are pseudocoelomate (possess a false body cavity).$3$. Digestive System: $Platyhelminthes$ possess an incomplete digestive system (single opening serving as both mouth and anus),while $Aschelminthes$ possess a complete digestive system with a well-developed muscular pharynx.$4$. Excretory Organs: $Platyhelminthes$ utilize specialized cells called flame cells for osmoregulation and excretion. $Aschelminthes$ utilize an excretory pore or renette cells for the removal of body wastes.
