Is a tape worm caused by fungi?
Tapeworm is definitely not a fungi. Ringworm I believe is a fungal infection but as all other infections called worms really are some kind of worm. If you use a search engine with 'tapeworm class species and family' I'm sure you can get a better idea of whether it is a protist, round worm, flat worm etc, but I think it might even be a segmented worm.
No. Arthropod literally means jointed leg, and worms don´t even have legs ;) Arthropods are animals like insects, spiders and crustaceans. Tape worms are flatworms or Platyhelminthes.
Depending on how long a tape worm parasite goes untreated for, tape worms can easily survive in the human gut for years and years and reach incredibly long lengths coiled up. Some have been found to be meter's and metres in length! For more info on tapeworms it is advisable to visit Wikipedia.
Why do intestinal parasites such as tapeworms have poorly developed digestive systems?
The tapeworm is an intestinal parasite that does not contain a digestive system since its body is designed to absorb digested food from its host.
How does a tapeworm obtain its food?
- they absorb it threw there skin when there hostest nutrients pass by thus taking it from the host and growing bigger.
- they can get up to 50 feet long.
- three types of species of worms can inffect a human
Diagram of the life cycle tape worm?
The life cycle of a tapeworm starts with a human eating undercooked, infected meat. The tapeworm will then grow and release small packages of fertilized eggs and sperm. These packages are excreted by the host. If they happen to land in grass, for instance, the package will open. By that time, the tape worm eggs will have developed. The eggs are released onto the grass. If a cow were to eat that grass, the eggs would become larvae and burrow into the cow's muscle. If that cow was eaten without being cooked thoroughly, the whole cycle would start again.
What is a cardiac blood pool scan?
A normally functioning left ventricle will contract symmetrically, show even distribution of the radioactively tagged protein, and eject about 55-65% of volume of blood it holds on each contraction.
Can staphylococcal infections be cured?
Most healthy people who develop staph infections recover fully within a short time. Others develop repeated infections. Some become seriously ill, requiring long-term therapy or emergency care. A small percentage die.
Can tape worm come out your mouth?
YES! because tapeworms can come out anywhere they like.They can come out from your nose,anything they want to come out from the part of your body so you should be careful and don't play dirt. =) just reminding!.
No, they trap their prey then push out their stomachs and digest their prey.
Can garden worms spread diseases?
No Worms are beneficial and not disease carriers.
Here is a quote from Charles Darwin
"It may be doubted whether there are any other animals which have played so important a part in the history of the world, as have these lowly creatures"
It is probably not much of an exaggeration in his statement that the humble earthworm is one of the most vital living creatures on the planet, for its actions are essential for the creation and vitality of soil, upon which almost all land plants and animals dependent.
Biological: The earthworm is essential to composting; the process of converting dead organic matter into rich humis, vital to the growth of healthy plants, and ensuring the the cycle of fertility. This is achieved by the worm's actions of pulling down below any organic matter deposited on the soil surface (eg, leaf fall, manure, etc) either for food or when it needs to plug its burrows. Once in the burrow, the worm will shred the leaf and partially digest it, then mingle it with the earth by saturating it with intestinal secretions. Worm casts can contain 40% more humus than the top 6" of soil in which the worm is living.
Chemical: As well as dead organic matter, the earthworm also ingests any other soil particles that are small enough (including stones up to one-twentieth of an inch across) into its 'crop' where minute fragments of grit grind everything into a fine paste which is then digested in the stomach. When the worm excretes this in the form of casts which are deposited on the surface or deeper in the soil, a perfectly balanced selection of minerals and plant nutrients is made available. Investigations in the United States show that fresh earthworm casts are Five times richer in available nitrogen. Seven times richer in available phosphates and eleven times richer in potash than the surrounding upper six inches of soil. In conditions where there is plenty of available humus, the weight of casts produced may be greater than 4.5 kg (10lb) per worm per year, in itself an indicator of why it pays the gardener or farmer to keep worm populations high.
Rivers and streams are composed of fresh water which freezes at 32o F or 0o C, so if the water gets colder than that, it will freeze. Salt water freezes at a lower temperature (which is why salt is used to melt ice).
annelida aka annelids. it shares this phylum with leeches
How do earthworms demonstrate cephalization?
Cephalization is the concentration of nerve cells at one end of the body. All of an earthworms sensory organs, including the nerve cells are in one part of the body. This can be proven through dissection.
How and why do earthworms shed their skin?
Earthworms do not shed their skin. Earthworms are not snakes and their skin actually grows as they grow larger. Earthworms do shed bits of waste material.
Are earthworms attracted to perfume or vinegar?
Did you get into environmental studies also?
I did and I'm not sure so im going to say perfume :0
Ants will eat any living (or dead) thing they can bring into their colony even if they have to rip it apart alive. I've seen it.
How does an earth worm tunnel trough the ground?
moisture in the soil that they live in that's how they barrow
What does the pharynx do in earth worm?
Food such as soil enters the earthworm's mouth where it is swallowed by the pharynx.
