    Question: The unicellular biological active layer of a nematode is…

    Options:

    Cuticle
    Epidermis (Hypodermis)
    Muscle layer
    None of these

    Correct Answer: (b) Epidermis (Hypodermis)

    ✅Explanation:

    • The epidermis, also known as the hypodermis in nematodes, is the only unicellular and biologically active layer in their body wall. It is a single layer of cells located beneath the cuticle. The epidermis plays several crucial roles:
    Secretes the Cuticle: The epidermis is responsible for producing and maintaining the tough outer cuticle.
    Sensory Perception: It contains sensory receptors that help the nematode detect environmental stimuli.
    Nutrient Absorption: In some nematodes, the epidermis is involved in nutrient absorption from the environment.
