Answer:

Scientists discovered mechanisms that protect tapeworms from being digested by their host. ... They also needed a mechanism to protect themselves from intestinal substances, specifically from digestive enzymes. One of such enzymes called trypsin breaks down proteins.

Explanation:

For example:Parasites can hide away from the immune system by invading immune-privileged tissue such as the central nervous system or the eye (Bhopale 2003). Also some parasitoids place their eggs inside tissue such as the fat body that is not well patrolled by the host's immune system

A scientist is studying the population of a particular species of beetle in an ecosystem. The beetles currently have an estimate

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer/Explanation:

Given an estimated beetle population of 11,500, of which it is estimated to increase approximately by 5% each year, we can calculate the estimated population for each year as follows:

Year Calculation Est. Population

1st yr (current yr) 11,500

2nd yr 11,500*105% 12,075

3rd yr 12,075*105% 12,679

4th yr 12,679*105% 13,313

5th yr 13,313*105% 13,979

6th yr 13,979*105% 14,678

The above is how the table would like showing the estimated population for each year.
