Module 2 Protozoa Flashcards
These are greek words means “first animal”
Protos & Zoon
Protozoa were historically regarded as _______ because they often possess animal like behaviors
One-celled animals
T/F:
Most of the protozoa are pathogenic but few may cause major diseases.
False
The structure of protozoan cell is composed of _______ and _______.
cytoplasmic body, nucleus
The various life function are carried out by specialized intracellular structure known as ______.
organelles
It is consist of ectoplasm and endoplasm that tge electron microscope has demonstrated to be very complex.
Cytoplasm
It is part of cytoplasm that consist of a thin outer ______.
ectoplasm
It is a voluminous inner
endoplasm
Give the 4 phyla of protozoa and the subphylum that are included.
1.Phylum Sarcomastigaphora
-Subphylum Sarcodina
-Subphylum Mastigaphora
2. Phylum Ciliophora
3. Phylum Apicomplexa
4. Phylum Microsopora
It appears more transparent, less granular, and more homogenous.
Ectoplasm
What are the locomotory organelles of protozoa arises from ectoplasm
Pseudopodia
Flagella
Cilia
Undulating membrane
a ciliate, food passes directly into a specialized “cell mouth” structure called cytosome.
Balantidium coli
Known as Cell Mouth
Cytosome
Excretion of undigested particles. Also known as “Cell Anus”
Cytophage
Where does the cytosome located?
Near the anterior end of the body
Feeding by Phagocytosis
Pseudopodia
Inactive cystic stage, Membranous
Cyst wall
It is necessary for survival outside the body and against the acidic digestivd juices of GIT
cyst wall
It has a function of movement, respiration, procurement of food, discharge of metabolic wastes, and protection
Ectoplasm
It consists of moderately dense granular protoplasm that immediately surrounds the nucleus
Endoplasm
It has a function of metabolism, nutrition, and food storage
Endoplasm
What organelles are in the Endoplasm?
•Mitochondria
•Golgi apparatus
•Microbodies
•Endoplasmic reticulum
Endoplasm also contain:
•Vacuoles
•Food Vacuoles
•Food Reserves
•Foreign Bodies
In endoplasm, what vacuoles are found in immature amorbic cysts?
Glycogen vacuoles and Chromatoidal bodies (bars)
Transformation of a trophozoite stage into a cyst stage
Encystation
In which one individual divides into two of more or less equal parts
Binary Fission
Liberates daughter cells that are called merozoites
Schizogony
Permanent and complete fusion of male and female gametes
Sporogony
Interchange of nuclear material that takes place among ciliates
Conjugation
Extension of ectoplasm that aid amoeba in motility
Pseudopodia
Lateral expansion of the plasma membrane associated with flagellum
Undulating membrane
Specialized cell mouth found among the ciliates
Cytosome
Dense cytoplasmic inclusions made up of crystalline RNA and RNA binding proteins
Chromatoidal bodies
A mass of chromatin located within the nucleus of the certain protozoa
Karyosome
Main storage form of glucose
Glycogen vacuoles
What is the demonstration of Glycogen vacuoles in wet mount?
Staining brown color with iodine solution
Contains chromosomes that are essential for life, reproduction, and genetic composition of the organism.
Nucleus
The nucleus is bounded externally by a well defined _______?
Nuclear membrane
Found in most protozoa and irregular distribution of chromatin materials
Vesicular Nucleus
Trophozoites to Cyst
Encystation
Cyst to Trophozoites
Excystation
Found in a few protozoa only in Ciliates
Compact Nucleus
It is motile forms, vegetative stage, reproductive powers, feeding stage, and delicate.
Trophozoites
It has a resting stage and Nonmotile stage bounded by tough cell wall.Continuous infective stage
Cysts
