Answer 4

Humans are subject to parasitism by several species of tapeworms if they eat undercooked meat such as pork, beef and fish. the beef tapeworm, can grow up to 20 m (65 ft).
Once anchored to the host's intestinal wall, the tapeworm absorbs nutrients through its skin as the food being digested by the host flows over and around it. They attached by way of a sucker-head.

Soon, it begins to grow a tail composed of a series of segments, with each segment containing an independent digestive system and reproductive tract. Older segments are pushed toward the tip of the tail as new segments are produced by the neckpiece.

By the time a segment has reached the end of the worm's tail, only the reproductive tract is left. The segment then separates, carrying the tapeworm eggs out of the definitive host as what is basically a sack of eggs.
