Phylum Apicomplexa is used now instead of sporozoa. All apicomplexans are parasites. In typical parasite fashion, most have complicated life cycles, often with two different hosts. The phylum name is named for the "apical complex" found on the end of the motile stage used to enter the host. The basic life cycle may be said to start when an infective stage, or sporozoite, enters a host cell, and then divides repeatedly to form numerous merozoites. Some of the merozoites transform into sexually reproductive cells, or gamonts. Gamonts join together in pairs and form a gamontocyst. Within the gamontocyst, the gamonts divide to form numerous gametes. Pairs of gametes then fuse to form zygotes, which give rise by meiosis to new sporozoites, and the cycle begins again. Human malaria is caused by four species of Plasmodium.
They at some point in their life produce spores and they have no locomotion.
Protozoa is a diverse group of single-celled organisms. They belong to the kingdom Protista, phylum Protozoa. Within this phylum, there are different classes such as Sarcodina (amoebas), Ciliophora (ciliates), Flagellata (flagellates), and Sporozoa (sporozoans). Each class further contains various orders, families, genera, and species.
phylum
The "true yeasts" are in phylum Ascomycota. There are some organisms commonly called "yeast" in Basidomycota as well.
all organisms in the deuteromycota phylum are different which is why this phylum is known as the imperfect fungi group. the only characteristic that the fungi in the phylum have in common is they all have cell walls.
They at some point in their life produce spores and they have no locomotion.
it contains spores.
Sporozoa move through a process known as flexion. Sporozoa move a part of the cell called gyloqiterior back and forth to enable them to move. It produces more of a slithering effect than getting up and moving.
They reproduce sexually in one host and asexually in the second host.
Paramecium is located in the phylum ciliophora.
Protozoa is a diverse group of single-celled organisms. They belong to the kingdom Protista, phylum Protozoa. Within this phylum, there are different classes such as Sarcodina (amoebas), Ciliophora (ciliates), Flagellata (flagellates), and Sporozoa (sporozoans). Each class further contains various orders, families, genera, and species.
Water molds belong to the phylum Oomycota. They are not true fungi, but are classified within a separate group of organisms due to differences in their cell walls and molecular characteristics.
The level of hierarchy just below the phylum is the class. Classes consist of related organisms within a phylum that share similar characteristics and features.
Phylum Ciliophora
Phylum Chlorophyta
Te organisms found in the phylum chorodata are sea squirts and vertebrate animals.
The phylum that has organisms known for a hydrostatic skeleton is the phylum Mollusca. This group of animals, such as snails and squids, have a fluid-filled cavity that provides support and structure to their bodies.
