To answer the question regarding how flukes and tapeworms feed, follow these steps: 1. **Identify the Organisms**: Recognize that both flukes and tapeworms are types of parasitic flatworms belonging to the phylum Platyhelminthes. 2. **Understand the Feeding Mechanism of Flukes**: Flukes are equipped with a mouth that they use to ingest nutrients from their host. They attach to their host and feed through this mouth. 3. **Understand the Feeding Mechanism of Tapeworms**: In contrast, tapeworms do not have a mouth. Instead, they absorb nutrients directly through their body surface, which is covered in microvilli that increase the surface area for absorption. ...

You have heard about several insectivorous plants that feed on insects. Nepenthes or the pitcher plant is one such example, which usually gorws in shallow water or in marsh lands. What part of the plant is modified into a pitcher ? How does this modification help the plant for food even through it can photosynthesise like any other green plant ?

A solid spherical planet of mass 2m and radius 'R' has a very small tunnel along its diameter. A small cosmic particle of mass m is at a distance 2R from the centre of the planet as shown. Both are initially at rest, and due to gravitational attraction, both start moving toward each other. After some time, the cosmic particle passes through the centre of the planet. (Assume the planet and the cosmic particle are isolated from other planets)

A flywheel of radiiis 10 cm mounted so as to rotate about a horizontal axis through its centre.

A rectangular loop of sides 10 cm and 5 cm with a cut is stationary between the pole pieces of an electromagnet. The magnetic field of the magnet is normal to the loop. The current feeding the electromagnet is reduced, so that the field decreased from its initial value of 0.2 T at the rate of 0.02Omega . If the cut is joined and the loop has a resistance of 2.0Omega , then the power dissipated by the loop as heat is

An electrometer consister of a fixed vertical metal bar OB at the top of which is attached a thin rod OA which gets deflected from the bar under the action of an electric charge (fig.). The rod can rotate in vertical plane about fixed horizontal axis passing through O. The reading is taken on a quadrant graduated in degrees. The length of the rod is l and its mass is m. what will be the charge when the rod of such an electrometer is deflected through an angle alpha in equilibrium. Find the answer using the following two assumptions : The charge on the electrometer is equally distributed between the bar & the rod and the charges are concentrated at point A on the rod & at point B on the bar.
