This little photosynthetic flatworm is feeding on a microscopic animal in real-time. 😮 . This is a Typhloplana viridata, a green flatworm. I find them incredibly fascinating. Typhloplana steals algae from the environment, and instead of digesting them, it “integrates” the algae cells into its body to use them as little solar panels that produce sweet sugar for the host worm through photosynthesis. It’s an incredible body modification which provides extra energy for the flatworm’s metabolism, an

@medicalstudent.io on Instagram: "Flatworms capture and consume ciliates through a combination of stealth, rapid movement, and specialized feeding structures, gliding smoothly across surfaces until they detect the subtle water disturbances produced by swimming ciliates, then lunging with surprising speed to envelop their prey; once contact is made, the flatworm extends its muscular, often protrusible pharynx to grasp and draw the ciliate into its digestive cavity, where enzymes begin breaking it

Flatworms, particularly free-living species like planarians, feed on microorganisms such as bacteria, algae, and protozoa. They use a specialized feeding structure called a pharynx, which they extend to suck in food. Once ingested, the food is digested in their simple gut, and nutrients are absorbed through their body walls. This process helps maintain ecological balance by controlling microorganism populations. Parasitic flatworms, on the other hand, don't feed on microorganisms but instead abs
