    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Life history consists of ___ different body forms, and at least ___ different hosts.

    • 2, 3

    • 3,2

    • 2,2

    • 2,4

    Correct Answer
    A. 2,2
    Explanation
    Life history consists of two different body forms, which means that an organism goes through two distinct stages in its life cycle. Additionally, it involves two different hosts, indicating that the organism relies on two different species for its survival and reproduction.

    Trematodes feed on host's ____ and _______.

    Correct Answer
    cells, fragments
    Explanation
    Trematodes are parasitic flatworms that feed on the cells and fragments of their host. They attach themselves to the host's tissues and consume the cells, as well as any broken or damaged tissue fragments. This feeding behavior allows the trematodes to obtain nutrients and energy from their host, enabling their survival and reproduction.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Adult trematodes are ___________ in the bloodstreams or digestive tracts of ________. 

    Correct Answer
    endoparasites, vertebrates
    Explanation
    Adult trematodes are endoparasites, which means they live inside the body of their host. They can be found in the bloodstreams or digestive tracts of vertebrates. These parasites rely on their hosts for survival and obtain nutrients from them. By living inside the host, they can easily access the resources they need for their own growth and reproduction.

    Rate this question:

  • 9.

    Correct Answer
    shistosomiasis, liver.
