PROTOZOA Flashcards
The word protozoa is come greek word of?
Protozoon word meaning first animal
What are some examples of locomotive organelles that are found in the protozoa
Cilia and flagella
Protozoa are eukaryotic cell that resemble to animal cell and contain major cell organelle including??
Nucleus and mitochondria
Protozoa are highly specialized for?
Feeding, reproduction, and movement
Outer and inner layer in the cytoplasm of protozoa is called?
Ectoplasm and endoplasm
Ectoplasm helps in??
Movement, feeding, and protection
Endoplasm houses of??
Nucleus, mitochondria, food
Why do some protozoa have special appendages?
Because of flagella and cilia that helps in their movements
What is the range size of a protozoa
Between 3 to 300 micrometer
Few ciliate and amoeba are larger enough to be seen with naked eyes that they about to…?
4 to 5 mm
Mostly protozoa feed on?
Dead plants and animal debris while some trophozoites feed on bacteria and algae
Some protozoa live in??
Symbiotic relationship with other plants and animals
What are the four main types that are classified on the basis of their motility and method of reproduction
Flagellates
Ciliates
Sarcodina
Sporozoates
A tail like structure and the movement is actually whip
Flagellates
Fine hair like structure attached with their bldy
Ciliates
Since most protozoans are harmless but they only one species that is pathogenic for human causes a rare and server form of dysentry
Balantidium Coli
Major loco-motor organelles in sarcodina is pseudopodia what is Pseudo means? And podia?
Pseudo means false and podia means foot
Enaemoba is a parasitic for human causes??
Intestinal disease
-Is a non-motile form of protozoa
-well developed sexual and asexual stages
Sporozoates
What are this reproduction that can be found in the protozoa by both sexual and asexual methods
Asexual methods
-Budding
-binary fission
-schizogony or multiple fission
Sexual methods
-conjugation
-gametogony
It is the method of multiple fission in which first the nucleus undergoes multiple division, form many nuclei that a small portion of cytaplasm concentrate around each nucleus and than protozoan cell is divide into many daughter cells
Schizogony
Two protozoa meet together and exchange their genetic material
-Conjugation
Union of two sexually differentiated cells
Gametogony
These type of antiprotozoal drugs that are used in malaria treatment
Chloroquine
Mefloquine
Pyrimethamine
