If a worm is cut in to pieces, then depending on where the cut was made, each piece is likely to stay alive for at least some time and grow some new parts. Here's an experiment for you to do in your spare time. http://www.sciencebuddies.org/mentor...Zoo_p011.shtml PD |

I don't think they have any EM sensors at all. They eat what's in front of them and it passes straight through, minus some nourishment. I suppose they use their 'noses'. Urban legend about worms Worms cut in half usually die. http://www.css.cornell.edu/compost/worms/faq.html What happens if you cut a worm in half? Almost everyone wants to know the answer to this question. Some species of worms can regenerate, or re-grow, a new tail, if their tail is cut off. However, a worm cut too closely to its' head will have difficulty growing a new tail. Most worms will not regenerate a head.What if the worm is cut longitudinally? Generally, we tell students that if you cut a worm in half, you will most likely end up with two dead pieces of worms. However, if you are lucky, the piece with the head may grow a new tail, so you will have one alive worm and one piece of dead worm. Some worms have a natural reflex, in which they will eject their tail when the tail is pulled. For example, when a bird catches the tail end of a worm, the worm would eject or sever its' tail from the rest of its' body. Thus, the worm remains alive and safe, while the bird gets only part of the worm. Nice to see you actually have SOME knowledge Diddle****, even if it ain't in physics. Note the difference, Henri? You tossed out a random guess, which is usually wrong, as though it were a fact. PTP then came back and corrected your mistake, citing a reference.

He's good at demonstrating that all by himself. Now, there is always someone in the peanut gallery who takes it as a personal mission to root for the underdog, the underpowered, the underwitted, the underprepared, the underqualified, the underclassed, or the underequipped, no matter what. Such a cause has no bearing on what the contest is about, it's just about the spectacle. If you like that end of the bleachers, have at it. PD you do exactly what you say i do, you started rooting for pudledick but dont let my words fool you, lets do it for real, we can measure it, we do it like men, let them play chess, mano a mano, let tha best man win i put my money on henry, you put on pudledick, end of story |

In so doing, I imagine you learned something. I hope that you will get in the habit of checking what you *think* is true *before* posting it. It will save you the awkward effort of backpedaling. In the case above, it might even be worth your time to *do* the lab suggested so you can test whether it is possible that if "a worm is cut in two at a certain place, both pieces will grow". PD |

And by "some new parts", I suppose you mean that cells that were in mid-division will count? ....that's basically correct. Immediately after the cut, both halves will continue to wriggle as though nothing happened. Here's an experiment for you to do in your spare time.http://www.sciencebuddies.org/mentor...Zoo_p011.shtml Excellent, Henri! I see you tried the Google search I suggested. In so doing, I imagine you learned something. I hope that you will get in the habit of checking what you *think* is true *before* posting it. It will save you the awkward effort of backpedaling. I didn't learn anything. Only the experiment was described, not the results. Why don't you contact them and find out what happened? In the case above, it might even be worth your time to *do* the lab suggested so you can test whether it is possible that if "a worm is cut in two at a certain place, both pieces will grow". Both pieces will grow certain parts. I didn't claim they will develop into complete worms. One part often will. The other might not. PD |
