1. Define Scolex
2. What is the name of the connected chain of proglottids?
3. What is the stage in the proglottid's maturation near the neck of the tapeworm?
4. What is the final stage of the proglottid's maturation?

It's been a while without a response, so I'll go ahead and post the answers:
1. The scolex is the head of a tapeworm, where the tapeworm attaches to the host. It contains a sucker and (usually) hooks.
2. Strobila
3. Premature
4. Gravid
Anyone can feel free to post the next question.
Note: edited afterwards to hide the answers.

1) Sulfide indole motility test (although generally I would prefer a TCC for motility only)
2) Tests for bacterial motility/indole production (tryptophanase)/reduction of sulfate to hydrogen sulfide (cysteine desulfurase)
3) A: H2S-, indole+, motile = E Coli; B: H2S-, indole-, nonmotile = SA (otherwise known as Brownian motility); C: H2S+, indole-, motile = Salmonella; D: H2S-, indole-, motile = Enterobacter; E: H2S+, indole+, motile = Proteus
