Protoza Flashcards
single cell eukaryotic microorganism belonging to kingdom protista
protozoa
out of 10,000 species of parasitic protozoa man harbors only about how many species
70 species
protozoa wide range of what size
1 to 150 micrometer
if the protozoa is the phylum what are the subphylum
sarcomastigophora
sporazoa
cnidospora
ciliophora
the subphyllum sarcomastigophora has a superclass, what are those
mastigophora
opalinata
sarcodina
what are the major methods of transmission of protozoal infection
ingestion
anthropod vector
transmitted by sexual contact
amoeba that move by means of
pseudopodia
protozoa that possess one to several
flagella
protozoa that move by means of many __ on the cell surface
cilia
a unicellular, single “cell like unit”
protozoa
multicellular, a number of cells making up a complex individual
metazoa
it is a portion of cytoplasm, outer homogeneous part. for involvement of food by producing for involvement of food by producing pseudopodia
ectoplasm
a portion of cytoplasm, inner granular portion of cytoplasm that contains nucleus and other structures
endoplasm
it contains one or more nuclei or a central karyosome
nucleus
an extra nuclear chromatin material
chromatoid body
within the nucleus containing DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
karyosome
a non-nuclear DNA present in addition to nucleus
kinetoplast
kinetoplast is seen in
trypanosome
flagellum originates near the canatoplast, point of origin of flagellum is called
basal body
fine, needle like filaments, covering the entire surface of the body
cilia
trophos: nourishment
it is the active feeding and going stage of protozoa
trophozoite
in asexual reproduction, it is a method of which a single parasite divides either longitudinally or transversely into two or more equal numbers of parasite
binary fission
it is division of nucleus followed by division of cytoplasm
mitotic division
in asexual reproduction, in which nucleus undergo several successive divisions within the schizont of produced large number of meroziles
multiple fission or schizogony
