Q: What is the ring of hooks tapeworms use to attach themselves?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Tapeworms and flukes have suckers and other structures for feeding on a host. Tapeworms also have a scolex , a ring of hooks on their head to attach themselves to the host (see Figure below ). Unlike other invertebrates, tapeworms lack a mouth and digestive system. Instead, they absorb nutrients directly from the host’s digestive system with their suckers.

 Choices:

- cilia

- dewlap

- flagella

scolex
