AMOEBA Flashcards
ArE PROTOZOANS unicellular or multi?
unicellular
are they motile or not?
motile
in what characteristics they are grouped?
by their locomotor apparatus
their cytoplasm is divided into how many andwhat parts?
2 - ectoplasm and endoplasm
in what type of cytoplasm we can find the locomotor apparatus?
ectoplasm
locomotor apparatus of amoeba
pseudopodia
locomotor apparatus of flagellates
flagella
locomotor apparatus of cilliates
cilia
what other parts are we can find under the ectoplasm aside from the locomotor apparatus?
cytostome and cyttopyge
locomotor apparatus that will assist flagellates flagella?
undulating membrane
Structure for Procurement of food
cytostome
a cell mouth is called
cytostome
a countrpart of cytostome “cell anus” for excretion
cytopyge
a part of cytoplasm that is for vital functions and processes
endoplasm
protozoa’s 2 stage
trophozoite and cyst
a stage where the amoeba is in vegetative or motile state/feeding stage/ a stage where it multiply
Trophozoite
a stage of amoeba where it is non motile/non feeding/didn’t undergo multiplication/ VERY INFECTIVE
cyst
this stage is more protected as it hast thick shell
cyst
genus exist in cyst form except?
trichomonas - it only exist in trophozoite
a first process to take place if the INFECTIVE form is ingested
excystation
a morphological version of cyst into trophozoite
excystation
from trophozoite to cyst
encystation
a morphological version of trophozoite into cyst
encystation
once the environment become unfavorable for it to replicate what will be the next process?
encystation it will now become cyst
triggers of encystation (t to cyst)
overpopulation, ph changes, depletion of nutrients and oxygen
sexual process of amoeba
syngamy
thisprocess is a union of gametes
syngamy - sexual
asexual process for amoeba
binary fission
the only member of protozoology that is pathogenic
intestinal amoeba
class lobosea’ simportant characteristics has the ability to extend cytoplasm in a form of?
pseudopods
first member of entamoeba
entamoeba histolytica
mode of transmission of entamoeba histolytica
ingestion feco-oral, unprotected sex
