Explanation / Answer

FLATWORMS

1.) Type of Symmetry: Bilateral i.e they have anterior and posterior end as well as dorsal and ventral side.

2.) Type of body plan: Acoelomate, doesn't have body cavity (coelom).

3.) Level of organization: Tissue - organ level

4.) Embryonic tissues present: Ectoderm, Mesoderm and Endoderm.

Advantage of Cephalization - Cephalization is concentration of nervous tissues at theanterior end of the body. Advantage of Cephalization is the development of the brain. The brain controls the activity of sensory organs and nervous activity also. The tiny brain of FLATWORMS controls the activity of eyespots which is further able to differentiate between light and dark sight.
