What is a plasmodium composed of?
Pseudoplasmodium is also known as a slug. A slug is about 2 to 4 mm long and composed of up to one hundred thousand cells.
What is the term for the individual unit of which each part of the body is composed?
The cell is the individual unit of which each part of the body is composed. It also is the smallest independent building block within the body.
What do plasmodium infects in the human body before causing the cells to burst?
Infection allows the pathogen to enter human cells. Without infection plasmodium or any other pathogen can not enter the cells.
Is Plasmodium a parasite?
Yes it is. It parasitizes liver cells and blood cells in vertebrates
What is the difference between a plasmodium and a pseudoplasmodium?
A plasmodium is a mass of cytoplasm containing many nuclei, typically found in certain protozoa like slime molds, which can form during their life cycle. In contrast, a pseudoplasmodium, often associated with the life cycle of the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum, is a temporary aggregation of individual cells that come together to form a multicellular structure without losing their individual cell membranes. While a plasmodium is a true syncytium, a pseudoplasmodium retains the individuality of its constituent cells.
What is the difference of a pseudoplasmodium and tru plasmodium?
The difference is that plasmodium is the acellularversion of a slime mold, represented by a large ameoba-like structure. This is aquatic and moves slowly. When challenged it forms a verticle fruiting body resistant to drought. On the other hand pseudoplasmodium is the cellular version of a slime mold, represented by individual cells. When challenged these cells signal each other via cyclic AMP and clump together, forming one large mass. Together this mass is called a pseudoplasmodium ("pseudo" meaning false).
How do plasmodium cells move?
Plasmodium cells move within the human body by infecting red blood cells and using them as a mode of transport to move through the bloodstream. Once inside a red blood cell, Plasmodium cells can change shape and move within the cell to evade immune responses.
What sporozite protist causes malaria in tropical areasWhat sporozite protist causes malaria in tropical areas?
The protzoal parasite that causes Malaria are Plasmodium Vivax Plasmodium Falciparum Plasmodium Malariae Plasmodium Ovale It is an intracellular parasite that inhabits the Red Blood Cells and the liver. P. Falciparum cause Cerebral Malaria.
1. Is the cell the fundamental unit of life In plasmodial slime molds?
Yes, the cell is considered the fundamental unit of life in plasmodial slime molds, which are a type of protist. However, these organisms exhibit a unique characteristic where they exist as a multicellular structure called a plasmodium, formed by the fusion of many individual cells that can share cytoplasm and nutrients. This allows them to function as a single entity while still being composed of numerous cells. Thus, while cells are the basic building blocks, plasmodial slime molds demonstrate a complex level of organization beyond individual cells.
Trypanosoma and Plasmodium are both found in blood How do they differ in their location relative to red blood cells?
Trypanosoma is found outside the blood cell, in the plasma and Plasmodium is found inside the blood cell.
Is grass made of cells?
Yes, grass is made of cells. Each blade of grass is composed of many individual cells that make up its structure and function.
The malaria causing protists plasmodium infects cells of the?
The cells of the host's liver, spleen and the erythrocytes in the blood (where they reproduce).
