Document Summary
Feeding is the process of obtaining nutriends and can be modulated by the needs of the individual. They fed them one of two diets for one week either a lipid rich or a protein rich diet. After a week they let them choose if they wanted to lipid rich or protein rich food. The beetles that were eating a lipid rich food started loading up on protein rich food and vice versa. They need to get the other nutrients that they were deprived of and so the nutriend needs are modulated by the needs. The beetles were fed either a lipid rich or a protein rich food. When you give them a choice later, they choose the other category because they have been deprived of it and they need it. This is a tape worm, they are endoparasites and live in the gut by sticking on to your gut.
