how cestodes are adapted to parasitic life?
602738
Parasites are adapted so that they receive maximum benefit from the host but do not kill them. Tapeworms have many adaptations such as strong suckers and hooks for attachment to the lining of the small intestine. Tapeworms are thin and flattened and have a very large surface area for absorption of nutrients.

Though the parasite does absorb some of your digested food through its skin, it won't eat enough to make you hungry.

There are four major groups of parasitic worms: monogeneans, cestodes (tapeworms), nematodes (roundworms), and trematodes (flukes). Helminths are characterized by the presence of attachment organs which include suckers, hooks, lips, teeth, and dentary plates.

Larvae hatch from ingested eggs and undergo pulmonary migration before developing into adult worms in the small intestines. Adult worms generally eat the food of their hosts, but heavy infections cause tangles of worms which can obstruct the gut.

Flatworms are bilaterally symmetrical organisms, with three germ layers (ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm) but lack a body cavity or coelom. The nervous, digestive, muscular, excretory, and reproductive systems are more advanced than those of the phyla you have already looked at.

They are not sensitive to temperature and adapt to cold water or tropical tanks. Like mystery snails, they are air breathers and have a similar diet with a heavy reliance on vegetable matter. They will thrive if given a little tomato and this helps to keep their extraordinary colour.

free-living flatworms do not have a gastrovascular cavity. ... parasitic flatworms have simpler life cycles.

Cestoda. Subgroups. See text. Cestoda is a class of parasitic worms in the flatworm phylum (Platyhelminthes). Most of the species—and the best-known—are those in the subclass Eucestoda; they are ribbon-like worms as adults, known as tapeworms.

That's what they have in common. Now, parasitism is when the parasite it's feeding from it's guest; by stealing it's nutrients. In commensalism, the parasite feeds from it's guest, but it doesn't harm it in any way. Predation is when an species needs to kill another living being, so they can actually live.

Animal adaptations. Many animals have adapted to the unique conditions of the tropical rainforests. The sloth uses camouflage and moves very slowly to make it difficult for predators to spot. The spider monkey has long, strong limbs to help it to climb through the rainforest trees.

Intestinal worms, or parasitic worms, are simple organisms that feed off the human body. Many people recognize the more common varieties, such as tapeworms and hookworms, but may be less aware of the others.

Tapeworms are flat, white worms that are made up of tiny segments. Each part is about the size of a grain of rice. Tapeworms attach themselves to the walls of your dog's gut using hook-like suckers. Then they start to feed and grow.

The head to which these antennae are attached, possess two strong jaws that are known as mandibles. These are adaptations to the head region that allow the ant to carry food, construct nests, and also used as a defensive mechanism.

What are whipworms? Whipworms are intestinal parasites that are about 1/4 inch (6 mm) long. They live in the cecum (a pouch that forms the first part of the large intestine) and large intestine of dogs, where they cause severe irritation to the lining of those organs.
