Solution

failed
failed

The answer is the last one: intermediate host is pork in Taenia saginata.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Taenia does not cause cysticercosis: This statement is incorrect because Taenia solium can cause cysticercosis, a condition where larvae form cysts in various tissues of the body. Taenia saginata, however, does not cause cysticercosis in humans.

  2. Taenia saginata does not have a hook in the scolex: This statement is correct. Taenia saginata, also known as the beef tapeworm, does not have hooks on its scolex, whereas Taenia solium, the pork tapeworm, does.

  3. Intermediate host is cattle in Taenia saginata: This statement is correct. The intermediate host for Taenia saginata is cattle.

  4. Intermediate host is pork in Taenia saginata: This statement is incorrect. The intermediate host for Taenia saginata is cattle, not pork. The intermediate host for Taenia solium is pork.

Summary: The incorrect statement among the options provided is "intermediate host is pork in Taenia saginata." The correct intermediate host for Taenia saginata is cattle.

The orbital speed (s) of an earth satellite is related to its distance (r) from the earth's center by the formula √r = .2029 × 10^7 / 3. If the satellite's orbital speed is 4 × 10^3 meters per second, find its altitude a (in meters) above the earth's surface, as shown in the illustration. Round the answer to the nearest meter.
