What are tapeworms two major body parts?
Scolex and the Proglottids.
In tapeworms what reproductive organs do both male and female have?
proglottids
How do tapeworms poop?
Tapeworms do not have a digestive system and absorb nutrients through their skin. Their waste is excreted through their skin in the form of proglottids, which are segments of their body that contain eggs and waste materials. These proglottids are released from the tapeworm's body and passed out through the host's feces.
Do tape worm have coelom?
No, tapeworms do not have a coelom. They are classified as acoelomates because they lack a true body cavity between their gut and body wall. Instead, they have a simple body structure with a series of reproductive units called proglottids.
Are tape worms segmented?
Yes, tapeworms are segmented parasites that consist of multiple proglottids which contain reproductive organs. Each segment is capable of releasing eggs into the host's intestine.
Explain the relationship between the tremendous number of eggs produced by flukes and tapeworms and the complexity of their life cycles?
For one thing flukes and tapeworms organ system is mostly reproductive organs and they are monoecious (both male and female organs). Tapeworms produce eggs by setting off a posterior part of themselves called proglottids. each proglottids have an abundant amount of eggs that when they become independent from the tapeworm they have already become zygotes. Flukes don't have proglottids, but reproduce very frequently within themselves.
What are the morphological differences of adult taenia solium and taenia saginata?
Taenia solium* has up to 1,000 proglottids * has scolex armed with hooks* has gravid proglottids containing 50,000 eggs (each proglottid)Taenia saginata* has from 1,000 to 2,000 proglottids * hasn't a scolex armature* has gravid proglottids containing 100,000 eggs (each proglottid)
What worm reproduces by releasing proglottids filled with eggs?
The tapeworm reproduces by releasing proglottids filled with eggs. Proglottids are segments of the tapeworm's body that contain reproductive organs, allowing them to release eggs into the host's intestines before being expelled in feces.
What worm reproduces by releasing proglottids with eggs?
tapeworm
Where does a tapeworm have its reproductive organs in segments called what?
proglottids
Where do you find tapeworms?
Tapeworms are found in the intestines of mammals. inside a human
How do Tapeworms reproduce?
Tapeworms can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Mature proglottids (segments that make up the body of a tapeworm) contain both male and female reproductive organs. Sperm from a tapeworm will fertilize the egg--either from the same tapeworm or a different one. The proglottid containing the fertilized egg will break off from the body and burst to release the zygote. The zygote is then released through the feces of the host. Zygotes are then consumed by a new host--their primary host--, grow, burrow, form a cyst, and begin the process again.
