Answer
-Taenia is an endoparasitic tapeworm
living in the human gut and may harm the host.
Mucor is a saprotroph living on dead decaying matter.
-The parasitic tapeworm
absorbs soluble predigested food from the living host.
Exracellular digestion is
not required. The fungal hyphae of Mucor penetrate th food
source. Enzymes are
secreted externally (extracellular digestion) to digest the
complex food into soluble
substances for absorption.
