24
Q

health risks associated with blooms of algae?

A

saxitoxin which causes paralytic shellfish poisoning

causes paralysis and even death

25
defining characteristics of Protozoa?
Unicellular eukaryotes Inhabit water and soil Animal-like nutrition Complex life cycles
26
purpose of trophozite and cyst?
trophozite= feeding and growing stage | cyst: dormant stage to survive adverse conditions
27
Asexual reproduction of protozoa is by ?
fission, budding, or schizogony (multiple fission)
28
Sexual reproduction of protozoans is by?
conjugtion
29
most important environmental requirements for protozoans is ?
moist enviornment
30
method of movement used by amebae?
extending pseudopods
31
disease caused by Acanthamoeba—
infects corneas and causes blindness
32
disease caused by Naegleria fowleri
Brain eating amoeba
33
disease caused by Entamoeba histolytica
causes amebic dysentery
34
type of movement by Apicomplexa ?
NON motile
35
disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii ?
transmitted by cats; causes fetal infections
36
disease caused by Cryptosporidium ?
transmitted via feces; causes waterborne illness
37
disease caused by plasmodium?
malaria
38
disease caused by balantidium coli?
causes dysentery
39
meathod of movement by ciliates?
move by cilia arranged in rows
40
life cycle of plasmodium?
mosquito bites sporozites migrate to liver and meterozites are produced meterozites released into blood stream develops into ring stage in red blood cell Ring stage grows and divides, producing merozoites Merozoites are released when red blood cell ruptures; some merozoites infect new red blood cells, and some develop into male and female gametocytes. Another mosquito bitesinfected human and ingests gametocytes In mosquito’s digestive tract, gametocytes unite to form zygote Resulting sporozoites migrate to salivary glands of mosquito.
41
defining characteristics of helminths?
``` Multicellular eukaryotic animals Specialized to live in hosts May lack digestive system Reduced nervous system Reduced or lacking locomotion Complex reproductive system ```
42
Dioecious
Separate male and female
43
Monoecious
Male and female reproductive systems in one animal
44
typical life cycle of typical parasitic worm?
egg, larvae, intermediate host, adult, definitive host
45
what are the two phyla of helminths? | and three subphyla?
Platyhelminthes (flatworms) Nematoda (round worms) trematode, cestode, nematode
46
disease caused by paragonimus?
lung fluke
47
disease caused by Schistosoma
