The correct Answer is:
To identify the tapeworm based on the given characteristics, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Analyze the Characteristics The question provides three characteristics of a tapeworm: 1. Large, quadrate scolex, without rostellum and hooks. 2. Primary host: man; Secondary host: cattle. 3. Length: 5 to 10 meters. ### Step 2: Identify the Tapeworm We need to identify which tapeworm fits all these characteristics. - **Characteristic 1**: The scolex is large and quadrate without rostellum and hooks. - Taenia solium has a smaller scolex and contains hooks and rostellum, so it does not fit. - Taenia saginata has a large quadrate scolex without rostellum and hooks, making it a potential candidate. - **Characteristic 2**: The primary host is man, and the secondary host is cattle. - Taenia saginata fits this description as it is known to infect humans and has cattle as its intermediate host. - **Characteristic 3**: The length of the tapeworm is between 5 to 10 meters. - Taenia saginata typically grows to this length, confirming it fits this characteristic. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis of the characteristics, the tapeworm that matches all the criteria is **Taenia saginata**. ---

The main application of osmotic pressure measurement is in the determination of the molar mass of a substance which is either slightly soluble or has a very high molar mass such as proteins, polymers of various types and colloids.This is due to the fact that even a very small concentraion of the solution produces fairly large magnitude of osomotic pressure.In the laboratory the concentrations usually employed are of the order of 10^(-3) to 10^(-4) M.At concentration of 10^(-3) mol dm^(-3) , the magnitude of osmotic pressure of 300 K is : P=10^(-3)xx0.082xx300=0.0246 atm or 0.0246xx1.01325xx10^5=2492.595 Pa At this concentration, the values of other colligative properties such as boiling point elevation and depression in freezing point are too small to be determined experimentally. Further polymers have following two types of molar masses : (A) Number average molar mass (barM_n) , which is given by (undersetisumN_iM_i)/(undersetisumN_i) where N_i is the number of molecules having molar mass M_i . (B) Molar average molar mass (barM_m) , which is given by (undersetisumN_iM_i^2)/(undersetisumN_iM_i) Obviously the former is independent of the individual characteristics of the molecules and gives equal weightage to large and small molecules in the polymer sample.On the other hand later gives more weightage to the heavier molecules.Infact with the help of a colligative property only one type of molar mass of the polymer can be determined. One gram each of polymer A (molar mass=2000) and B(molar mass=6000) is dissolved in water to form one litre solution at 27^@C .The osmotic pressure of this solution will be :
