Question

Ascaris disturbs digestion of host by

• A. Feeding on digested food
• B. Injuring intestinal wall
• C. Secretion of anti-enzymes
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is C Secretion of anti-enzymes

Ascaris takes most of its nutrients from the partially digested host food in the intestine. There is some evidence that it can secrete anti-enzymes, presumably to protect itself from digestion by the hosts' enzymes.

So, the correct answer is 'Secretion of anti-enzymes'.
