clue #4: the laboratory directors message
with all three containers located, you find a message from the laboratory director pinned to the bulletin board:
\congratulations on finding our specimens! but the mystery isnt over yet. these three phyla share some important characteristics, but they also have key differences. one major difference is in their body cavities - some have none, some have a fake one, and some have a real one!\
detective challenge: which of the three phyla (platyhelminthes, nematoda, or annelida) is described as having no body cavity at all?
hint: think about which group you identified as being completely \flat\ - having no space inside would make them pretty flat!
whats your answer, detective?
Platyhelminthes are acoelomates, meaning they have no body cavity. Nematoda are pseudocoelomates (have a false body cavity), and Annelida are coelomates (have a true body cavity). The hint about being "flat" also points to Platyhelminthes (flatworms).
