General Features of Protozoa (MIDTERM) Flashcards
What are the 4 types of Classifications
- Classification of Protozoa
- Corliss’s interim user-friendly Classification
- Molecular Classification
- Cavalier and Smith’s six Kingdoms Classification
What are the 6 kingdom theory
Bacteria
Protozoa
Animalia
Plantae
Fungi
Chromista
What are the three kingdoms
- Kingdom Protozoa
- Kingdom Fungi
- Kingdom Chromista
It is a unicellular eukaryotic, phagotropic, non-pjotosunthetic organism without a cell wall
Kingdom Protozoa
A eukaryotic heterotrophic organisms lacking plastids but possessing cell wall containing chitin and b-glucan
Kingdom Fungi
A unicellular eukaryotic, photosynthetic filamentous or colonial organisms; some with secondary loss of platids
Kingdom Chromista
This Classification is based on the recommendation comittee on Systematic and Evolution of the Society of Protozoologists
Classification of Protozoa
in this the protozoan parasites were classified though they couldn’t meet some of the requirements of medical parastologists
Classification of Protozoa
To meet the requirements of both Protozoologists and medocal Parasitologists he divided the living creatures into 6 kingdoms
Corliss’s interim user-friendly Classification (1994)
The unicellular parasites are categorized into two phyla-
Achezoa and Protozoa
The hierarchical system can be accurately represented by RIBONUCLEIC ACID (RNA) and protein sequences of the organisms
Molecular Classification (2000)
This molecular Classification is based on the six kingdom
Cavalier and Smith’s six kingdoms classification (1998)
The unicellular protozoan parasites constitute thirteen Phyla of which the human parasites belong to the seven Phyla which are distributed into three kingdoms
Cavalier and Smith’s six kingdoms classification
A unicellular eukaryotic cells that perform all the Physiological function, only about 70 species belonging to nearly 30 genera infect human beings.
General Features of Protozoa
these are relatively harmless but few may cause some of the important diseases of tropical countries
