Explanation:
Both flukes and tapeworms are parasites with vertebrate hosts, including human hosts. Flukes live in the host's circulatory system or liver. Tapeworms live in the host's digestive system.
Two systems most directly interact in the fuzzy millipede's defense against ants are :
<u>muscular and integumentary</u>
<u></u>
Explanation:
- The fuzzy millipede, Polyxenus fasciculatus, is found in Texas and is preyed upon by most species of ants.
- Most millipedes defend themselves with a variety of chemicals secreted from pores along the body, although the tiny bristle millipedes are covered with tufts of detachable bristles.
- Due to their lack of speed and their inability to bite or sting, millipedes' primary defence mechanism is to curl into a tight coil – protecting their delicate legs inside an armoured exoskeleton.
- Reproduction in most species is carried out by modified male legs called gonopods, which transfer packets of sperm to females.
- Millipedes overwinter, so they may hide in cracks or crevices throughout the whole winter and emerge in the spring.
- These insects live in dark, damp places and feed on decaying plant life, sometimes damaging crops. But they can serve a good purpose too.
- To protect itself against the ants, it ejects fibers from a tuft located at the tail end of its body. When an ant attacks, the millipede flexes its back end toward the ant and wipes the tufts against it.
Answer: A!
Explanation: All biological organisms play a part in the earth's ecosystem, but consumers get energy from eating other organisms and producers make energy on their own. Grass is a producer, a self-sustaining organism that obtains its energy from the sun. In the process, it introduces new organic substances into the food chain and plays a key role for consumers. Grass forms the basis of the food chain because of this ability.
Answer:
A. X, because organism X has the same role as the grasshopper
Explanation:
In the food web the organism is denoted by X and it shares the same role as the grasshopper.
A primary consumer is mostly a herbivore. They feed directly on plant matter and convert them into useful nutrition for their own needs.
- Grasshoppers feed on grasses.
- They are able to process plant matter into digestible food materials.
- Organisms of this kind are primary consumers.
- Organism such as Y are the secondary consumers.
- They feed on other organism but not directly on the plants.
