Parasitology

Question 1

Answer 1

• Balantidium Coli
• Paramecium

Question 2

Which bacteria move using Phylum Amoebozoa?

Answer 2

• Entamoeba Histolytica
• Amoeba Proteus

Question 3

Which bacteria move using Phylum Archaezoa?

Answer 3

• Trichomonas Vaginalis
• Giardia Lamblia

Question 4

Which bacteria move using Phylum Euglenazoa?

Answer 4

• Trypanosoma
• Euglena

Question 5

Which bacteria move using Phylum Apicomplexa?

Answer 5

Plamodium

Question 6

What is a Fungi?

Answer 6

Molds (Multicellular fungi) classified into 2 groups based on their spore structure.

Fungi with Conidia have exposed spores.

Fungi with Sporangium have enclosed spores.

Spores represent asexual reproduction for fungi.

Can also reproduce via a different mechanism.

Question 7

What is a Protozoa?

Answer 7

Classified based on their method of motility:
Cilia, Flagella, pseudopods, or none.
These eukaryotes can reproduce asexually (binary fission) and/or sexually(conjugation)

Question 8

What is a Helminth?

Answer 8

Divided into 2 groups,
Nematodes(roundworms) &
Platyhelminths (Flatworms).

Nematodes are dioecious because they have seperate male and female worms.

Pltayhelminths are monoecious because each worm contains both ovaries and testes.

Question 9

Answer 9

Using Cilia
