5. View the protists blood parasites (Trypanosoma cruzi, Trypanosoma brucei, and Plasmodium
vivax). Which of these species is more likely to cause the most human issues (in terms of number
of people with the disease)?
What is one of the most likely ways to keep from being infected by any of these blood parasites?
Explain.
6. What are slime molds?

Aside from cleanliness and access to clean water, propose scientific ways in controlling parasitic diseases. You can use protozoans or invertebrates in your example.
I studied microbiology in the fifth semester of medical school. I studied medical
mycology as one of the sub-divisions of microbiology. Medical mycology covers
human diseases caused by
protists

- You are given five test tubes, each containing an unknown protist, and your task is to read the description below and match these five protists that you know to the correct test tube. -Paramecium -Pfiesteria (dinoflagellate) -Navicula (diatom) -Plasmodium -Amoeba In test tube 1, you sketch the organism and come up with a picture that looks like the one below. You note the organism appears to be “eating” the smaller microorganism. Chemical analysis of test tube 2 indicates the presence of a chemical that is toxic to fish and humans. In test tube 3, you detect the presence of substantial amounts of silica. Microscopic analysis of organisms in tube 4 reveals the presence of an apicoplast in the organism Microscopic analysis of the contents in tube 5 reveals the presence of one large macronucleus and several small micronuclei in each organism Match the description with the correct protistarrow_forwardconsider the following terms: Envelope Fusion Gene therapy Pathogen Vaccine Capsule Decomposer Epidemic Mold Spore Yeast Choose 2 terms from the list and answer the following questions for each term: What familiarity and prior knowledge do you have about the term? What does the term mean in everyday language to everyday people? Use examples to help describe your thoughts. How do people use the word? What does the term mean in technical language to biologists? How is the term related to the course student learning outcome: Describe classifications of biological diversity?

- 22) Protist and fungal diseases in humans can be hard to treat because Group of answer choices protist and fungal cells contain large amounts of peptidoglycan in their cell walls protists and fungi are members of Domain Archaea and so are able to withstand toxins in their environment they have prokaryotic cells anti-protist and anti-fungal drugs don't have as much selective toxicity as anti-bacterial drugs protist and fungal cells contain R plasmids that make them resistant to drugsarrow_forwardWhich are significant predators of bacteria (select those that apply)? Protists Bacteriophagesarrow_forwardWhich of these organisms is a chemoheterotrophic protist? cats, which are animals and get food and energy from molecules made by other living things staph bacteria, which are parasites on humans methanogenic archaea, which get energy from methane and carbon from carbon dioxide paramecia, which are eukaryotic single celled organisms that eat other organisms for food and energyarrow_forward
- A) Protist diseases can be hard to treat because Group of answer choices some use brown or red pigments, rather than green pigments, for photosynthesis they have prokaryotic cells anti-protist medicines have too much selective toxicity they are heterotrophic they have evolved defenses that make them invisible to the immune system B) A plant without vascular tissues will likely be Group of answer choices small and/or flat found primarily in dry habitats, such as deserts tall unable to photosynthesize unable to reproduce sexuallyarrow_forwardTetracyclines are another kind of antibiotics that are made by fungi. They work by inhibiting translation of proteins in bacteria.
