The following cell structures can also be found in a typical animal eukaryotic cell: 1  Centrioles - help to organize the assembly of microtubules.â. 2  Chromosomes - house cellular DNA.â. 3  Cilia and Flagella - aid in cellular locomotion.â. 4  Cell Membrane - protects the integrity of the interior of the cell.â.
The rest of it is in its burrow. Earthworms are hermaphroditic, meaning they can all lay eggs after they mate. Earthworms lay coccoons which have an egg inside. Once an earthworm has hatched, it can live up to about three years.Earthworms have many predators, including: ants, mites, centipedes, earwigs, nematodes, fly larvae, termites, springtails, sowbugs, snails, slugs, spiders, birds, rats, mice, moles, toads, turtles, and snakes.ost native earthworms are thought to be long gone. Earthworms' bodies are soft and long with a cylinder shape. Nightcrawlers, the largest, can grow up to eight inches long. Their coloration is brownish-red. Earthworms live in soil in meadows, woods, stream banks, and lawns. They burrow up to six feet deep.
Worms live in almost all parts of the world including marine, freshwater, and terrestrial habitats. Some worms living in the ground help to condition the soil (e.g., annelids, aschelminths). Many thrive as parasites of plants (e.g., aschelminths) and animals, including humans (e.g., platyhelminths, aschelminths).Several other worms may be free-living, or non parasitic. There are worms that live in freshwater, seawater, and even on the seashore.orms are hermaphrodites (both sexes in one animal) but can cross fertilize. Other invertebrate groups may be called worms, especially colloquially. In particular, many unrelated insect larvae are called worms, such as the railroad worm, woodworm, glowworm, bloodworm, inchworm, mealworm, silkworm, and wooly bear worm.
