If a flatworm is cut in half how do both halves grow into a new individual?
Flatworms have the ability to regenerate missing body parts, so when cut in half, each half can regenerate the missing parts to form a new individual. Specialized cells called neoblasts grow and develop into the structures needed to create a complete organism.
Which species are able to grow both on the surface and within the medium?
Many species of plants and fungi have the ability to grow both on the surface and within the medium. For example, certain grasses and weeds can grow both above and below the soil surface. Similarly, some types of fungi, like mushrooms, can grow both on the ground's surface and within the decaying organic material.
How do individual cells maintain homeosasis?
They grow, respond to their environments, transform energy for their needs, and reproduce.
What do epiphytic and parastic plants grow on?
Epiphytic plants grow on other plants for support and parasitic plants grow on host plants for support and food both.
Is the deciduous forest near the north or south pole?
It is an evergreen forest. Both poles grow only coniferous trees. The climates at both poles can only grow trees that do not lose their leaves.

Why does cutting a flatworm into pieces not kill it?
In gereral, the more poorly differentiated (the fewer complex structures that have specific functions) an organism is, the greater its ability to live and re-grow after being cut apart. Worms have this ability to re-grow in entirety, as do lower organisms like amoebas and fungi. In flatworms, their cells have the ability to differentiate into any type of tissue that the worm might need. These types of cells are called stem cells, and are the subject of ongoing research in medicine as to their applications in humans. There is a limit, however. a tiny slice of flatworm would not be able to develop into another worm.
Individual parts will grow new individual animals by means which process?
Fragmentation is the process by which parts of an individual grow into new individual animals. This is a form of asexual reproduction.
What type of animal that if their tail gets cut off it will grow back?
The Drop tail Lizard is one of them. A flatworm such as the planarian can regenerate body parts. If you cut it in half the part with the head will grow a new tail and the part with the tail will grow a new head. Pretty wicked!
When you grow taller do your individual cells get bigger?
No
Which statement is true Both grow from seeds Both hatch from eggs Both grow larger as they mature or Both go through metamorphosis?
It is not that they both grow from seeds or hatch from eggs. Now we got it narrowed down. The answer is that they both grow larger as they mature.
How can seeds grow if cut in half?
If a seed is cut in half, it will not be able to grow as both halves do not contain all the necessary components and nutrients for germination. Each part of the seed needs to have all the essential factors to initiate growth, such as the embryo, stored food, and protective seed coat. Cutting the seed disrupts this balance, preventing successful growth.
How quick do tall people grow?
It depends of the individual.
Explain why cells divide?
Cells divide so that an individual can undergo Injury repair, make reproductive cells, and be able to grow so that the individual can also grow.
