Biology
1 answer:
Nataliya [291]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Proglottids are segments in cestodes that contain bot the male and female reproductive organs. These segments go ahead to make eggs and then dettach form the worm. They are excreted and become agents of infection on the next hoist. Proglittids formed near the neck of the worm are immature while those at the tail end are literally bags of mature eggs.

The scolex is the head of the worm that is attached to the host. It is also the part that ‘sucks’ nutrients from the host. It has hooks that it uses to anchor itself in the host. In some species, rather than hooks, there are suction-cups that use suction for anchorage.

A child holds a red ball. Why does the ball look red?
Tasya [4]

Answer:

D) All visible light waves except red are absorbed by the ball

Explanation:

When we see things that are a certain color, it is because the object is absorbing all the visible light waves except the one we are seeing. In this case, the ball is absorbing every color on the visible spectrum except for red. Red is being reflected back towards the child's eye which is why the child sees the ball as red.

Please mark as brainliest ;)

How does photosynthesis help to maintain homeostasis in plant cells?
viktelen [127]

Plants maintain homeostasis by keeping their stomata open just enough to allow photosynthesis to take place but not so much that they lose an excessive amount of water.

When plant cells use the food they make, the cells respire, taking in oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide.

- Hope this helps
