    SECTION A (40 MARKS)

    1. Tape worms naturally secrete by hydrogen ions into the intestinal lumen
    of their hosts so that the carrier proteins in their cell membrane binds
    with more glucose molecules.

    In an experiment on a dog that had been infested with tapeworms, the


    dog was given a glucose solution and then an acidic solution injected into
    its intestinal lumen.

    The experiment was repeated using an alkaline solution. Figures 1(a) and
    (b) shows the efficiency of absorption of glucose by the host and
    parasites.

    In another experiment on a dog infested by two different parasites, two drugs


    were separately used to eradicate the parasites.

    Drug 1 was injected into the blood while drug 2 was injected into the intestinal
    lumen. Then the percentage of eggs of each parasite that survived after
    injection of the drugs was determined. Figure 2 shows the results of the
    investigation.
