What else can I help you with?
Do helminths have DNA?
Yes, helminths, which are parasitic worms, have DNA. DNA contains the genetic information that determines the development, growth, and functioning of all living organisms, including helminths.
Is a scientist studying helminth working with bacteria?
A scientist studying helminths might not necessarily be working with bacteria, as helminths are parasitic worms that infect humans and animals. However, some research may involve interactions between helminths and bacteria as part of the host microbiome.
Are platyhelminthes autotrophic?
no, plasmodium is a parasitic protozoans
Are parasites prokaryotes?
Some parasites are prokaryotic (bacteria), and some are eukaryotic (helminths, protozoans...)
Provide an explanation for the complex life cycles exhibited by parasitic helminths Cite specific examples in your discussion This means to choose a species of helminth that is parasitic and discuss?
Parasitic helminths often have complex life cycles involving multiple hosts and stages of development. For example, the tapeworm species Taenia solium has a life cycle that involves pigs as intermediate hosts and humans as definitive hosts. Eggs passed in human feces are ingested by pigs, where they develop into larvae. When humans consume undercooked pork infected with larvae, the tapeworm develops in the intestine, completing the cycle.
Are arthropods helminths and certain protozoa in the parasitology field of study?
Yes, each of these types of organisms has instances of parasitic species. From arthropods one example would be the flea; from helminths an example would be a tapeworm, and from the protozoans the malaria parasite would be one example.
What domain and kingdom are helminths in?
Helminths belong to the domain Eukarya and the kingdom Animalia.
Malaria is caused by these protozoans?
Malaria is produced by parasitic protozoans.
Do helminths have DNA?
Yes, helminths, which are parasitic worms, have DNA. DNA contains the genetic information that determines the development, growth, and functioning of all living organisms, including helminths.

Are platyhelminthes autotrophic?
no, plasmodium is a parasitic protozoans
What systems in a parasitic helminth is not greatly reduced compared to free-living helminths?
reproductive system
Which are not considered to be microorganisms Helminths b. Fungi c. Bacteria d. Rickettsiae?
Helminths are not considered to be microorganisms. They are multicellular parasitic worms that are larger in size compared to bacteria, fungi, and rickettsiae which are microorganisms.
Are parasites prokaryotes?
Some parasites are prokaryotic (bacteria), and some are eukaryotic (helminths, protozoans...)
What types of colon parasites are there?
There are several colon and intestinal parasites that can occur in the human body, such as parasitic worms. Similarly, protozoans are colon parasitic organisms.
What is the characteristics of a helminth?
Helminths are multicellular eukaryotic animals that generally possess digestive, circulatory, nervous, excretory and reproductive systems. Parasitic helminths must be highly specialized to live inside their hosts. They may be dioecious or monoecious (hermaphroditic).
What are parasitic protozoans called that live inside their hosts and may reproduce by means of a spore?
Cordyceps
